The Problem

Plastic caps crack. Workers get hurt. The cycle repeats.

UV Degradation

Plastic caps become brittle in Australian sun within weeks. They crack, split, and fall off, leaving pickets exposed.

Replacement Costs Add Up

Sites replace plastic caps multiple times per project. The "cheap" option ends up costing more in replacements alone.

Landfill Waste

Millions of disposable plastic caps end up in Australian landfills every year. Construction waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams.

Steel vs. Plastic
Standard Plastic Caps

Built to be replaced.

  • Cracks in UV and heat exposure

OSHA Compliant
29 CFR 1926.701(b)
Standards & Compliance

Built to meet the standard the law demands.

Exposed star picket tops are one of the most common causes of impalement injuries on US construction sites. OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926.701(b) requires all protruding reinforcement steel (rebar) to be protected against impalement hazards. Safety Pickets' steel caps are engineered to exceed this requirement.

Meets OSHA 29 CFR 1926.701(b) — full impalement protection for protruding rebar, T-posts, and star pickets
Durable HSLA steel — won't crack, split, or dislodge in conditions that destroy plastic alternatives
Visible bright finish — high-visibility powder coat remains identifiable throughout the project lifecycle
Reusable 50+ times — eliminates compliance gaps caused by degraded plastic replacements mid-project
Regulation Summary
29 CFR 1926.701(b)
Impalement Protection

"All protruding reinforcement steel, such as rebar, on floors, walls, columns, beams, or any other concrete work area shall be protected against impalement hazards."

Why steel beats plastic for compliance:
  • Plastic caps degrade under UV, heat & impact
  • Cracked caps lose compliance status mid-project
  • Steel caps maintain protection for the job's full duration

Common Questions

Everything you need to know.

Our minimum order is 50 caps. Volume pricing applies at 500+, 1,000+, and 5,000+ units. Most construction sites order 200–1,000 caps depending on project scale. Get a quote to see the pricing tier that fits your volume.
Standard delivery is 3–7 business days to metro areas (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide). Regional and remote sites may take 7–14 business days. Express dispatch options are available — mention your timeline in the quote form.
Yes. We offer custom powder coat colours and embossed logo options for orders of 1,000+ caps. Standard finish is bright yellow or safety orange for maximum site visibility. Mention your branding requirements in the quote form and we'll scope it out.
Yes — Safety Pickets are designed with a universal fit that accommodates standard Australian star pickets, US T-posts, and common rebar / reo bar sizes. If you have non-standard post dimensions, include your specs in the quote form and we'll confirm compatibility.
Plastic caps degrade under UV and heat, and can crack mid-project — creating a compliance gap exactly when you need protection most. HSLA steel caps maintain structural integrity for 100+ uses, meaning your site stays compliant from day one to project completion without re-inspection cycles caused by failed plastic caps.
At a typical site with 100 posts replacing plastic caps quarterly at $0.50/cap, you spend ~$200/year on plastic. Steel caps cost roughly $450 once. Break-even is around 9 months — then it's pure savings. Use the TCO calculator above to model your exact site numbers.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know.

Straight answers to what buyers ask before ordering.

No strict MOQ on first orders. We work with sites of all sizes — from a 50-cap trial run to bulk orders of 10,000+. Pricing scales with quantity, so larger orders get better per-cap rates. Request a quote and we'll tailor it to your volume.
Standard delivery to metro Australia is 3–7 business days. Regional and remote sites may take longer. We dispatch within 1–2 business days of order confirmation. International (US, NZ) shipping is available — timelines vary by destination. All orders include tracking.
Yes — for orders above 500 units, we offer custom powder coat colours and laser-etched branding. Safety yellow and safety orange are available off the shelf. Lead time on custom runs is 3–4 weeks. Mention your requirements in the quote form and we'll scope it out.
Yes. Our standard cap fits all Y-profile star pickets (the most common AU/US type), T-posts, and standard rebar diameters. The snap-lock mechanism accommodates slight size variation. If you're using an unusual profile, send us the picket specs and we'll confirm fit before you order.
Our caps are rated for 100+ uses under normal site conditions. Unlike plastic — which degrades under UV and heat — HSLA steel doesn't crack, fade, or lose its locking mechanism. Many customers have run the same caps across five or more projects with no degradation in performance.
We stand behind the product. If caps don't fit your pickets or fail within the first project, we'll replace them. Request a quote and ask about our trial pack — designed to let you test fit and quality before committing to a full order.

Safety shouldn't be disposable.

Every worksite in Australia uses star pickets. Every one of them needs protection. Safety Pickets is building the permanent solution the industry has been waiting for.
