Internal staircase kick board

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

To all edge protection details around site on roofs, floor slabs or scaffolding a kick board is provided as edge protection.

However this never seems to be the case on internal staircases with a temporary scaffold handrail.

We at Kier now install these kick boards as a minimum standard to all internal staircases to prevent tools or materials from being accidentally kicked or knocked off the edge and hitting anyone working below.
