Frequently Asked Questions

Slab edge protection systems serve as crucial safety barriers designed to prevent falls from heights. They are commonly used in high-rise construction, mezzanine floors, and suspended slabs where the risk of severe injury or fatality from falls or dropped objects is present.

These systems are highly adaptable and can be dismantled or modified throughout a project’s lifecycle to meet changing needs.

These systems act as preventive measures against falls, ensuring worker safety on site. They also secure the area and protect passers-by from potential hazards by preventing dropped objects where they incorporate kickboards and/or mesh barriers.

Besides their immediate safety functions, temporary edge protection systems offer additional advantages:

  • Regulatory compliance — Adhering to safety standards not only safeguards workers but also reduces legal risks for construction companies.
  • Flexibility — These systems can be quickly adjusted, reconfigured or moved in response to changing project needs, making them ideal for the dynamic nature of construction sites.
  • Cost efficiency — By lowering the risk of accidents, these systems help avoid downtime and related costs such as delays and insurance claims.

Specific standards vary by State, but according to OHS regulations and industry guidelines, edge protection is generally required in all cases where contractors and employees are working at a height of 2m or greater. This includes not just roofs but any surface where it is possible to fall 2 metres or more..
