Safe access systems must be provided for workers to access the upper floors and the roof to undertake work at those levels, for example, stairs incorporated into scaffolding or used as a part of a guard rail or platform system.

The design and testing should comply with the relevant Australian Standards and include the following toe boards or mesh infill to prevent tools, materials or debris falling from the roof, unless a 2 meter ‘no go’ zone has been established to prevent persons entering the area below a clear gap between rails not exceeding 450mm the gap between the roof edge, including the gutter, and a guardrail located outside the roof line shall not exceeding 100mm a clear distance between the roof cladding and the bottom rail of not less than 150mm and not greater than 275mm an effective guardrail height above the roof surface of not less than 900mm (for roofs with a pitch over 10 degrees the effective height should be measured from a point 300mm inside the roof edge) infill panels where the pitch of the roof exceeds 26 degrees.
