Edge Protection & Handrails in West Sussex
Edge protection is a legal requirement under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and C.N.M Scaffolding provides fully compliant perimeter protection systems for construction sites, commercial properties, and public buildings across West Sussex. Our edge protection installations prevent falls, protect pedestrians below, and ensure your site meets all current safety legislation.
We install perimeter handrails, protection fans over entrances and walkways, debris netting, toe boards, and fully boarded base lifts with polythene sheeting. For projects in Worthing and Arundel, we've delivered triple-layer edge protection systems that satisfy even the most demanding main contractor requirements.
Our work at Havant schools demonstrates our ability to create safe perimeters around active environments — keeping students safe whilst enabling construction work to continue overhead. Every installation is documented with full RAMS and complies with our comprehensive industry accreditations.

Roof Edge Protection Systems
Edge protection is a legal requirement for any work at height where there is a risk of falling. Our roof edge protection systems provide a secure guardrail barrier around the perimeter of flat and pitched roofs, preventing falls during roofing, maintenance, and construction works.
We install edge protection to comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and EN 13374 standards, giving you and your team confidence that the working area is safe and compliant. Every installation is documented with a written handover certificate and included in our RAMS pack.
Temporary Handrails & Barriers
Beyond roof edge protection, we provide temporary handrail systems for a range of applications — including stairwell protection during construction, balcony and terrace barriers, and pedestrian safety barriers around ground-level working areas.
These systems can be freestanding or scaffold-mounted depending on the specific requirements of your site. We regularly install them alongside full scaffold structures as part of a complete site safety package, or as standalone installations where only barrier protection is needed.
