PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF USAGE
The edge protection system is aimed at securing the outer edges of buildings and used as a
protection measure while performing works on lower levels and to secure communication strings.
The edge protection system is used while performing constructional works for, primarily, protecting
and preventing from the falls of people an objects onto the lower working levels. The protection
system encompasses areas near the floor's edge and other areas that demand protection.
The EN-13374+A1_2019-02E standard defines three security areas between the floor and the
ceiling;
Ca1 (from the floor to min. 1 m above the floor), Ca2 (from 1 m to 2
m above the floor),
Ca3 (from 2 m to the ceiling).
This definition includes in particular the security range of the Ca1 area.
The protection system (for all three classes: Ca1, Ca2 and Ca3) was also designed on the
basis of the requirements concerning the protection from objects carrier by wind (EN-
13374+A1_2019-02E, point 6.3.4).
The system was designed on the basis of the “Class A” requirements, described in the
5.2.1 of the abovementioned standard.
The system is characterised by an easy, universal and quick assembly to the front and the upper part
of a floor, as well as to a wall. Thanks to the lightness and flexibility of the system, it is possible to
adjust it to all building conditions.
The edge protection system is an affordable and quick way to secure working areas where there is
the need to increase the level of safety.
The use of the edge protection system is allowed only on condition that the user adheres to this
Technical Documentation, as well as the proper occupational safety and health regulations.
