post and rail: waterside safety information
WARNING: The purpose of the notes and sketches below is to advise the uninformed that guidelines and rules
do apply to railing systems. Advice and guidance should be sought from the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Accidents, the Government Local Authority and British Standards Institution. The guidelines provided
below are given in good faith and believed to be correct at the time of going to press, however Broxap Ltd
cannot accept responsibility for the information contained below as accurate or current. Please consult the
ROSPA and the Department of Transport’s official websites for all current and up-to-date information.

edge treatment at water sites
In some circumstances, where the risk is high due to the nature
of the edge, the hinterland activity or the danger someone
might get into if they enter the water, or a combination of the
three, then fencing may be necessary.
The level of assessed risk will affect the choice of barrier. At
low risk sites, the function of the barrier might be merely to
‘deflect’ the public from the water’s edge, therefore a post
and chain or a single rustic rail might be adequate.
Where overall risk is identified as moderate but where a
500
particularly sensitive location is identified i.e. deep water or
pinch points, a section of more substantial fencing may be
required.
A high level of risk may lead to the installation of balustrade,
combined with warning signs, to exclude members of the public from gaining access to the water’s edge.
The balustrade or fencing will require regular maintenance
and inspection; it will be subject to vandalism; and it will
usually remain scalable. The effect of barrier erection on other
user groups, such as boaters, will also have to be taken into
account, to ensure that landing points are provided and that
there is no risk of crushing.
consistency
An inconsistent treatment may well be counter productive in
2000
terms of accident prevention. It is therefore essential that the
response to hazards and conditions is uniform.
Consistency can be attained by the use of an edge treatment
classification where the response to a hazard can be banded.
To achieve consistency, an edge banding guide has been
devised specifically to respond to the conditions at docks,
canals, riversides and sea front promenades.
banding
The RoSPA banding guide provides a framework to assist operators in developing a consistent response to certain levels
of risk presented in an urban waterside environment.
The banding defines the degree of risk present at the location not the specific edge treatment or control measure required.
band 1
• Water less than 500mm in depth, providing an ornamental function.
• Solid, well defined edge e.g. coping stone. Minimal height above water surface. The edge may be stepped, allowing
gradual approach to the water.
• The treatment is distinctive in that there is no fencing.
band 2
• The water will exceed approximately 0.5m in depth.
• The edge is well-defined and solid and not more than approximately two metres above the surface.
• This band may include footbridges or pinch points in Band 1 areas, where balustrading is required to guide users and
identify the edge.
• The site is unlikely to be directly accessible to unaccompanied young children.
• The treatment is post and chain or similar balustrades.
band 3
• Deep water.
• Solid, well defined edge.
• Unlikely to be adjacent to dwellings, bridges, weirs and cuts.
• Other contributory factors may include the usual presence of people, walking or seated.
• The treatment is bollard/post and chain (or rail) supported by ladders and grab chains on the wall of the feature, and
403 telephone: 01782 564411 fax: 01782 565357/562546

post and rail: waterside safety information
rescue equipment on the promenade.

• Ladders should be installed at 50m intervals.
• The presence of an attraction, such as a water sport event
would temporarily upgrade a Band 3 to a Band 4.
specification
The minimum recommended post height is 1100mm, with
1500mm spaced centres. However, other specifications are in
use with 2000mm and 2400m centres.
The amount of ‘sag’ throughout each length of chain should
not compromise the effectiveness of the barrier. It is
recommended that the ‘sag’ of the chains should be 50-
100mm. Where the post is 1100mm high, the suggested
spacing of chains from ground level is 400mm and 800mm,
allowing a maximum ‘sag’ to heights of 300mm and 700mm,
and average heights of 350mm and 750mm.
grab chains
Handholds should be made available in Band 3 type areas, to
provide a potential casualty support until assistance arrives, or
to enable the casualty to reach access ladders without relying
solely on their swimming ability.
An optimum length of chain should be available either just above, on, or just below the surface. A distressed, shocked
casualty, if required to raise their arms above head height, is likely to submerge.
To maintain an effective ‘grab’ opportunity, the following guidelines should be used:
• Each length of chain should be permanently fixed to the quayside by an eye bolt and ring.
• Fixing rings should be installed at 300mm above the water level, at 6.0m intervals.
• The catenary of chains should fall approximately 300mm below the water level.
Where the water level fluctuates, a compromise or a revised system will be necessary.
access/egress ladders
Where the level of assessed risk indicates the installation of ladders is necessary, the following guidelines should be used:
• Hand rails or a suitable hand grip should be provided on the quayside.
• The foot of the ladder should extend 1.0m below the water level.
• Deep water, plus one or more additional hazards such as being unusually high above the water. The water itself may not
only be deep, but fast flowing and especially dangerous.
band 4
• Band 4 will usually be required in order to directly deny access, either because of the extreme danger, or because of the
concentration of people near the hazard.
• Vulnerable groups such as the elderly and young children should be protected by Band 4, especially on or near
structures, well-used public access points, dwellings, pubs, shops, schools etc.
• The treatment is balustrading at least a metre high. Vertical railings, or alternatives which are difficult to climb are
appropriate, without horizontal footholds.
• Because Band 4 treatment is essentially based on an exclusion principle, rescue equipment is not often necessary. The
‘exclusion’ factor also denies would-be rescuers from easy access.
• Hazard warning notices to promote safety awareness are still important within this band.
specification
The minimum height of vertical rail fencing should be 1.1 metres from finished ground level. Posts should be installed at
maximum centres of 2000mm, with vertical rail infill at 100mm centres to discourage climbing. Recommended design,
including loading specifications are detailed in BS6180:1982.
The gap between the finished ground level and the bottom horizontal rail should be a maximum of 100mm.
If the balustrade is installed too far away from the edge, the remaining margin may invite access. Specification exceptions
can be allowed in respect of limited runs of balustrade being stepped back, e.g. to form angling bays for the disabled, to
avoid capstans etc.
The optimum recommended distance of the fence from the quay edge should be 300mm. The maximum distance of the
balustrade from the edge should be 500mm.
Where a physical barrier is deemed essential due to the level of risk, but where standard fencing would be aesthetically
detrimental to the environment, adequate protection can be achieved through sensitive design and choice of construction
materials.

post and rail finishes and conversions - cast iron and duracast™ polyurethane (pu)
Cast iron and Ductile Iron posts are supplied with a primer
undercoat and two pack acrylic paint finish in a range of
BS and RAL colours as standard.
waterside paint specification

Cast iron and Ductile Iron posts may be supplied finished
with a Waterside Specification Paint Treatment which
involves coverage with a zinc rich primer along with a
micaceous undercoat and several acrylic topcoats
providing a total coverage of approximately 250 microns.
This system provides added protection from the
elements in areas such as Seaside Towns, Riversides,
Quaysides, Marinas, Flood Defences and Canal sides.
Duracast™ Polyurethane (PU) posts are ideally suited to
waterside applications due to their resistance to
corrosion. PU posts are pigmented throughout and also
receive a primer undercoat and a two pack acrylic top
coat in a range of BS RAL colours.
highlighting
One or more colours can be used to highlight design
detail, match existing colour schemes or incorporate
corporate colours. At Broxap we use Ardenbrites Light
Gold No. 1 which is bright, durable and has excellent colour
retention. All highlighting is hand painted onto the product.
customisation
The manufacturing process of both cast iron and duracast™
polyurethane (PU) posts allows for detailed customisation
of the post if required. Depending on the complexity,
quantity, price and the base material, logos, crests and
ciphers can be incorporated into the design of the post.
reflective material
For higher visibility in hazardous areas or areas that
require demarcation posts can benefit from the addition
of a reflective tape or beaded compound.
Reflective Tape is a high quality reflective tape for maximum
vision when light is shone on it. Reflective tape is
available in different band widths and can be applied to
smooth faced posts.
Reflective Compound is also an option - an extremely versatile
and durable reflective coating which comprises of tiny
glass beads which are suspended in a coloured
compound - this system has high reflectivity properties. post and chain options
