A scaffold guardrail is one of the most important safety components in a scaffolding system. Installed along the open edges of working platforms, guardrails help prevent falls and provide a safer working environment for workers at height.
Guardrails are used on aluminum mobile scaffolding, steel scaffolding, suspended scaffolds, and various access platforms.

The primary purpose of a guardrail is to:
Prevent workers from falling;
Improve platform safety;
Provide additional support and confidence when working at height;
Help comply with safety regulations.
Together with platforms and toe boards, guardrails form a complete fall-protection system.

Guardrails are installed along all open sides of scaffold platforms.
They are commonly used on:
Single-width scaffold towers;
Double-width scaffold towers;
Foldable scaffold towers;
Bridge scaffolds;
Suspended scaffolds;
Industrial maintenance platforms.
Typical guardrail heights range from:
0.9 m to 1.1 m
36–42 inches
Different scaffold systems may use different dimensions.
For example:
0.68 m foldable scaffold towers;
0.75 m single-width towers;
1.35 m double-width towers.
Good guardrail systems should:
Be securely attached to the frame;
Cover all open sides;
Resist accidental displacement;
Meet local safety standards;
Be inspected regularly.
Common standards include:
OSHA;
EN1004;
ANSI;
AS/NZS.
