INTRODUCTION
This technical documentation contains the guidelines concerning the proper use of THE EDGE
PROTECTION SYSTEM. Workers and other people using the system shall always observe the
guidelines contained herein. In case of any events not described in this document, the occupational
safety and health regulations and other regulations, appropriate to the specific situation, shall be
observed.
It is forbidden to modify the system in any other way than described in the Technical
Documentation. The manufacturer is not liable for any modifications in the system in a way
that is not described in the technical documentation.
1. MANUFACTURING BASIS
THE EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEM is aimed at increasing the safety of works performed at heights.
The project of the edge protection system was prepared in accordance with the current laws
and technical standards:
EN-13374 –Temporary edge protection system
+A1_2019-02E
EN 1090 –Technical requirements for the execution of steel and aluminium structures.
PN-EN ISO 3834-2 –Quality requirements for the welding of
metal materials

OPERATING MANUAL
2.1
TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS
The edge protection system:
A set of elements used to protect workers from a fall and to catch falling materials.
Main railing:
A railing or an element which makes the upper edge / surface of the edge protection
system.
A protection / intermediate barrier:
A protecting barrier (made of a net or a set of other elements) between the main railing and
a working surface.
A toe board:
A standing / vertical element used to stop materials and protect people from falling or
sliding down from the working surface.
A pole:
The main element of the edge protection system to which the main railing and the toe board
are assembled.
A holder:
An element used to assemble the pole to a given working surface.
The height of the edge protection system:
The distance from the highest point of the main railing to the working surface, measured
perpendicularly to the working surface.
A working surface:
The surface on which a worker stands, walks or works.

2.2
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.

2.3
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM
The edge protection system is a steel construction (or metal-wooden) consisting of three main parts: an
assembly holder, a pole and an intermediate barrier.
The intermediate barrier can be set in three different options, e.g. as horizontal balk, a steel panel net or a
polypropylene net with an edge line.
The system's module consists of a pole with a holder and a proper barrier, according the above
description.
Each module of the system contains also optional holders or adapters for different assemblies, e.g.
upper assembly, side assembly, assembly to stairs etc.

2.3.1
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION –INTERMEDIATE BARRIER
The intermediate barrier of the Ca1 protection area is defined by the EN-
13374+A1_2019-02E standard in point 4
(Defined load classes A-static loads, B-static loads and low episodic dynamic loads, C-static loads and high
dynamic loads connected to sliding down of people and objects)
And in point 5.2, see Appendix No. 1.
The intermediate barrier of the edge protection system is also defined by such parameters, as the
“mesh density” in the “containment porosity Cp” and the wind class” Cq.
The elements of the intermediate barrier are periodically checked for its wear and suitability for the
use in a safety system. The check is performed by the manufacturer or an authorized body.

2.3.2
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION –TOE BOARD
A standing / vertical element used to protect materials and people from falling or sliding down
from the working surface.
The toe board shall provide the security for the area at the height of 1 cm from the working
surface (measured perpendicularly to that surface)
Its maximum lift towards the working surface equals 2 cm.
TOE BOARD 15 cm

2.3.3
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION –MAIN RAILING
A railing or an element which makes the upper edge / surface of the edge protection
system.
The distance between the highest railing point and the working level cannot be smaller than 1000
mm (measured perpendicularly to the working surface).
