At Edge Protection Hire we not only cover residential construction by we also cover commercial. Having worked with Tier 1 companies we understand and appreciate the additional safety practises these job occur. We also understand the apprehension some companies may have trusting a new sub-contractor. In this short blog I will outline some of the commercial edge protection projects we have undertaken on and the challenges faced, to, hopefully put your mind at ease and let you know you are in safe hands of edge protection experts with knowledge, experience and processes in place to ensure your job runs smoothly.

What is Commercial Edge Protection?

When the word commercial comes up some people jump to the conclusion that this is sky scrapers and huge apartment buildings. This is not always the case. Commerical edge protection for us is simply construction in the private sector.

Edge Protection for Commercial Construction Work

Commercial construction work can be on projects for the building and selling of business structures like office spaces, shopping centres, warehouses and commercial buildings. Some of these buildings may or may not be occupied with residents or have the general public still using them. This adds another layer to the project, being able to work with and sometimes around people who may not be used to construction work without too much interference is vital to ensure a safe and productive work environment. With all our workers having undertaken the TAFE “Project Remediate: Safety standards at occupied sites” you can be rest assured that our team have the knowledge and training of dealing with these sites.

Documentation for Commercial Projects

Paperwork, yes, we know! Commerical projects love paperwork. That’s fine and we understand the importance of ensuring all paperwork and relevant documentation is correct and produced. From SWMS to insurance, to SOP and so forth we know what is required. We have these documents in place and regularly change, adapt and edit these documents to ensure they are relevant, site specific and compliant. This also helps to ensure our worker can give feedback and any near misses can be recorded and safe practice then adapted to ensure we continuously get better and provide a quality safe service.

Delays in Commercial Projects

We understand that sometimes things don’t go to plan, whether that’s a delayed start due to weather conditions or other parts of the project falling being. At Edge Protection Hire we pride ourselves on being adaptable and working with you to ensure no further delays. We also have an continuous hire period, where we won’t remove the installed edge protection unless instructed to-do so, this allows you to keep hiring the edge protection should you needed for a longer period of time.

Understanding Deadlines

We have worked on many projects with firm deadline, we know the importance of meeting and delivering on them. Having worked on buildings such as schools which need to reopen, hospitals where access may be critical and office buildings where workers are due back to work. We are here to work with you to ensure these deadline are met and the site can go back to being fully operational again.

Confidentiality and Security

At Edge Protection Hire we know the importance of keeping certain projects confidential. Having worked on secure sites with background and police checks we have employees who have passed these and know how to work on these sites correctly.
