Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Safe Cover Walk Board provides a reliable and compliant solution for temporary ground or trench cover during street and utility works. Fully compliant with the UK’s DETR ‘Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice’, this walk board ensures a safe, stable, and practical surface for both pedestrians and vehicles in a wide range of worksite environments.
Moulded from a single piece of glass fibre reinforced composite, the Safe Cover Walk Board combines exceptional strength with a lightweight, easy-to-handle design. Its ribbed underside framework offers outstanding rigidity and load-bearing capability while maintaining low density for effortless manual handling.
Capable of safely spanning trenches up to 900mm wide, the board can support a distributed vehicle load of up to 2000kg, making it ideal for use on driveways, access routes, and temporary crossings where light vehicles or trolleys need to pass safely.
Slip-resistant surface provides secure footing, even in wet or muddy conditions.
Chamfered edges reduce trip hazards and ensure smooth transitions for pedestrians, wheelchairs, and pushchairs.
High-visibility yellow finish enhances awareness and site safety, especially in low-light or high-traffic areas.
Non-conductive composite material offers added protection when working near electrical installations or utilities.
No rusting, rotting, or warping, unlike steel or timber alternatives, ensuring long-term durability and consistent safety performance.
The Safe Cover Walk Board is ideal for use in:
Street works and utility maintenance
Driveway and pavement access
Temporary pedestrian walkways
Construction and civil engineering projects
Public event safety management
Wherever there’s a need to maintain safe access over open trenches, cables, or uneven ground, the Safe Cover Walk Board provides peace of mind through proven design and compliance.
