Toeboard – Why do I need it?

Toeboard is required on a railing whenever it would be potentially hazardous for an object to fall from the edge. Ask this basic question: “If my hammer were to fall at this edge, could it hit a person or any dangerous machinery?” If “yes”, you need toeboard.

Toeboard Compliance for AS 1657 Applications

A toeboard system is to be installed on walkways where;

• There is no permanent structure with 10 mm of the edge

For a toeboard system to be compliant;

• It must have a gap no greater than 10 mm between the underside of the toeboard and the walkway
