Collective protection
</p>In contrast to personal protective equipment against falls from a height (PPE), collective protection measures not only protect individuals, but generally all persons in areas where there is a risk of falling. The most common form of collective protection is <strong>guardrails<strong>, but scaffolding and safety nets can also be appropriate measures.</p>
</p>Guardrails are generally preferable to individual protection measures such as anchor points or rope systems. However, there are plenty of exceptions where collective protection measures are not feasible. Due to various circumstances, such as the statics or the pitch of the roof, individual protective measures must be used in these cases.</p>
</p>With collective protection, the individual protective equipment of the person on the roof is irrelevant. In addition, compared to individual protection measures, there is no need for user training for the corresponding guardrail systems. For roofs that are regularly walked on and used by several different people, guardrails are therefore a much more user-friendly solution.</p>
