Toeboard Compliance for AS/NZS 1657 Applications

A toeboard system is to be installed on walkways where;

• There is no permanent structure with 10mm of the edge
• An object could fall to where persons have access to the area below the walkway.

As shown to the left, a toeboard system is required due to the fall-off from the edge of the platform.

For the toeboard system to be compliant in the above scenario;

• The top of the toe-board shall not be less than 100mm above the top of the floor.
• Any gap between the toe-board and the floor must not exceed 10mm.
• The toe-board should be firmly attached to the floor or posts.
