From Installation to Maintenance: A Complete Guide to Our Brick Guards

Construction sites are dynamic environments where every sound signals progress. Every day, there are trucks rolling in, cranes lifting, and teams of people moving materials back and forth. With so much going on, protecting the people on and around your site is essential. This is what brick guards are made to do.

In this blog, we’re going to take you through everything you need to know about using brick guards safely and effectively. We’ll cover why they matter, how to install them quickly without slowing down your team, simple ways to maintain them so they last longer, and tips for keeping your site running smoothly. By the end, you’ll see why something as simple as a brick guard can make a big difference on the site you’re managing or working on.

Putting Brick Guards in Place: Fast and Easy

Many construction managers worry that adding protective guards will slow down productivity. The truth is, installing brick guards is straightforward, even for busy crews. Most guards are lightweight and easy to position along the edges of walls or around corners. They usually come with simple clips, so there’s no need for complicated tools or intensive training. It’s so quick that by the time you’ve poured your morning coffee, a stretch of brick guards could already be in place.

The key to smooth installation is planning. Identify areas where people could get hurt and place the guards there first. Think of it like putting up safety cones and barriers before doing roadworks; it’s about anticipating trouble before it happens.

Your Day-to-Day Check-In

Once the brick guards are in place, it’s a good idea to check them regularly. Take a quick walk along the wall of the scaffolding at the start or end of a shift to spot any guards that have shifted or taken a hard hit. As soon as a guard shows signs of damage, get a fresh one in place. This simple habit keeps the public safer and prevents small issues from getting bigger. It’s a bit like checking tire pressure on a truck, quick, easy, and essential for safety.

Wrap-Up Routine: Keeping Your Guards in Top Shape

When the project winds down, remove the guards carefully so they can be reused on the next site. BrikGard’s can last for multiple projects if handled properly. Storing them in a dry spot prevents warping or damage.

At the end of the day, keeping your site safe shouldn’t be complicated, and that’s exactly what BrikGard is all about. From the moment you unpack them to the last day on-site, our brick guards are built to make life easier for everyone. They go up quickly and will last for ages.
