Turner Access continues to provide safer systems of work with the development of another Collective Protection Solution - BetaGuard®, an INTEGRAL Advance Guardrail System for use on Aluminium Towers (Patent Pending GB2461782).

Assembling and dismantling aluminium towers must comply with the standards set out by the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Hierarchical requirements place collective protection over mitigation options. As an advance guardrail system the BetaGuard® provides Best Practice Collective Protection, but without the Manual Handling problems associated with current Industry practice.

BetaGuard® simplifies tower erection by eliminating the need for both horizontal and diagonal braces, reducing the main components to a total of three. Utilisation and asset management is achieved with ease as individual single bracing members more susceptible to loss, damage and theft are replaced. 

Other benefits of the BetaGuard® Advance Guardrail System include its ability to act as a bridging component to bridge towers, removing the need for bridging lattice beams. Tower erection without trip hazards at base level and a walk in/through facility with high clearance is automatically achieved. 

Through creative design the BetaGuard® Advance Guardrail System provides Affordable Innovation, Achievable Safety and Astounding Simplicity.

BetaGuard® is currently available for use on BETA®, OCTO and MAST Aluminium Tower types. BetaGuard® may also be suitable for use on other Towers subject to further development and testing.
