About Guardrail

1. What is the purpose of guardrail?

Guardrail is used to help outline the boundaries of any space that may pose some danger to an individual. These indicate where dangers can be found, which is often on the outer side of the guardrail. Safety guard rails are used to deter or prevent access to areas that are off-limits or deemed dangerous. Pavements and other public places are fitted with guard rails to protect against accidental falls.

2. At what point do you need a guardrail?

Guardrails are required in areas that are approximately 1 metre or higher off the ground. This is to ensure that no one gets hurt and falls from such a height. Guardrails are also required in areas where safety boundaries need to be outlined. For example, in facilities where dangerous equipment, such as forklifts and other industrial machinery is operating near people, industrial safety barriers are placed between the areas where people can safely walk and where the equipment is working.

3. How does a guardrail work?

Guardrail serves several functions:

&#; Works as a safety barrier that shields motorists who have left the roadway.

&#; Helps deflect a car back to the road, slows it down until it passes the hazard, or slows a vehicle down to a complete stop.

&#; Makes roads safer and reduces crash severity.

&#; In elevated areas, it prevents people from falling off or going out of the barrier and onto the road, which is far more dangerous.

&#; In factories, factory safety barriers keep workers out of areas that pose a threat to their safety, such as near machinery and electrical equipment like generators and also separates pedestrian traffic from forklift traffic.

4. How much force can a guard rail take?

It depends on the kind of guardrail installed. For example, if you are using warehouse safety barriers that are meant to keep people outside of danger zones, these need to withstand significant force without bending outwards or downwards to ensure utmost safety. These also need to be rigid enough and won&#;t deflect elastically under an imposed load. If you need further advice for specific requirements contact us on (03) . and we can advise further.

5. How much are guard rails?

In Melbourne and the rest of Australia, the cost of guard rails is dependent on the shape, size, and length of the rails that are needed. For example, curved guard rails can cost you around $155 for a 4.0 metre piece that has galvanised coating and $310 for the same length that is finished in a safety yellow powder coat. Circular guard rails are more expensive and can cost around $1,100 for a 500 mm circle, at the very least. Straight lengths are generally cheaper than special-shaped pieces and can roughly cost $60 per metre if galvanised and $120 per metre if powder-coated to safety yellow.
