I am installing guardrails to an internal roof storage area inside a factory unit. I know that the standard top guardrail height is 950mm, but have also read that 1100mm is the recommended top guardrail height for factories. Is the height of 1100mm correct to install to?

Hi Paul If you install to Schedules 1-3 of the Work at Height Regs it will comply with the definition of "an existing place of work" [that's WaH for acceptably safe] rather than work at height. Frank Hallett

Is this a permanent installation? If so you may want to look at http://www.planningporta...s/br/BR_PDF_ADK_1998.pdf page 12 Chris
