Abstract (en)

A safety guard (1) for protecting the edges of a horizontal or flat roof is described. The safety guard (1) combines a mesh (7) to prevent bricks or debris falling over the edge of a roof and a toe board (11) for mounting flush with the roof. The safety guard (1) is provided with hooks (9) for hooking over a substantially horizontal scaffolding pole (29) and the toe board (11) is movable with respect to the hooks (9). In embodiments, the toe board (11) is movable with respect to the mesh (7); alternatively the hooks (9) can be moved with respect to the mesh (7). The toe board (11) and mesh (7) may be integrally formed of plastics, such as rigid polypropylene. <IMAGE>
