Secure Every Edge with Safety Guard Posts

In any scaffolding system, guard posts are not optional – they’re critical to your site’s fall protection plan. Whether working at height on a high-rise construction site in Alberta, conducting maintenance on an industrial platform in BC, or setting up temporary access scaffolds anywhere in Canada, scaffold guard posts ensure compliance, safety, and peace of mind.

At North Scaffold Products, we manufacture and supply high-strength, CSA-compliant guard posts designed to fit seamlessly into your frame scaffold system. Built for tough environments and designed for fast installation, our guard posts help you meet regulatory requirements while protecting workers every step of the way.

What Are Guard Posts in Scaffolding?

Guard posts are vertical components installed along the outer edges of scaffolding platforms to support horizontal guardrails and midrails. They create a perimeter safety barrier designed to prevent falls, and define work zone boundaries.

Installed at the top work platform and secured to the scaffold frame, scaffold guard posts are essential for any elevated working platform. Without them, a scaffold structure is incomplete and non-compliant.

Key Features of North Scaffold Guard Posts

Every guard post we sell is fabricated for performance, durability, and regulatory safety.

  • Heavy-duty steel construction for a high strength-to-weight ratio
  • Galvanized or powder-coated finishes for corrosion resistance in harsh weather
  • Pin-style or clamp-on designs for quick and secure installation
  • Compatible with industry-standard frame scaffolding

Applications for Scaffold Guard Posts

North Scaffold guard posts are used across all major sectors where fall protection is required, including:

  • Commercial construction
  • Infrastructure and transportation projects
  • Industrial maintenance & energy sector
  • Residential builds and exterior renovations
  • Municipal works and temporary access platforms
  • Stucco, Masonry, Painters and Brick work

Whether you’re protecting tradespeople on a mid-rise scaffold in downtown Calgary or Vancouver, our scaffold guard posts are built to secure your site.

Regulatory Compliance: Built to Meet Canadian Safety Codes

In Canada, scaffold systems must comply with federal and provincial occupational health and safety regulations. Guardrail systems—including guard posts—are legally required on platforms where workers may be exposed to falls from height.

At North Scaffold, all of our scaffold guard posts are designed to work with guardrails and midrails for complete system protection.

In regions like Alberta and BC, where inspectors are strict and job site conditions are complex, compliance isn’t just important—it’s non-negotiable.

Guard Post Integration and System Compatibility

Our guard posts are designed for seamless integration with standard frame scaffolding systems. Built for adaptability, they can be installed:

  • At corners and open sides
  • Along elevated decks or walkways
  • On internal scaffolding runs to separate work zones
  • With toe boards for additional material containment

They effortlessly pair with our steel guardrails & cross braces to create a fully enclosed, safety-rated scaffold platform.
