MODULE 4 – TEMPORARY EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEMS TRAINING

Posted by safetyrespect on 2025-02-28

Temporary Edge Protection Systems are designed to prevent falls from height by safeguarding the area they are fixed to so keeping anyone working within this area safe without any action from them. This is a passive system and is referred to as a Collective safety measure in the Work at Height Hierarchy.

COURSE OVERVIEW

• This course is intended for anyone who Installs, Alters, Dismantles or Inspects Temporary edge protection Systems.
• The Work at Height Hierarchy of controls.
• Legislation – Employers duty of care, Employees responsibilities.
• Equipment selection suitability and inspection.

COURSE CONTENT

When altering or dismantling a Temporary edge protection system the operative can be exposed to open leading edges which means that they will need to connect to a Personal Fall Protection System to ensure that they cannot fall during this work.
During this training course trainees will be shown how to inspect and wear a safety harness with a lanyard and assemble a Work Restraint System, as follows

PERSONAL FALL PROTECTION
1. Selection of appropriate Personal Fall Protection Equipment and compatibility when used as a system.
2. Pre-use inspections of Personal Fall Protection Equipment and how to identify faulty components.
3. Identify damaged or worn components and remove from site.
4. Correct storage, care and cleaning of Personal Fall Protection Equipment.

TEMPORARY EDGE PROTECTION
A Temporary Edge Protection System installed around the perimeter of the structure will protect anyone working in this area without them taking any action.

Class A systems
For flat surfaces with a maximum slope up to 10º. The system must resist a horizontal force of 0.3kN anywhere along the top of the Barrier deflecting a maximum of 55mm at the central point of the Barrier. In practical terms this means that the system must support the weight of a person who might be leaning against, walking beside, or at worst, stumbling into the edge protection.

Wind loading
The wind velocity pressure within BS EN 13374 is 0.6N/m2. BS EN 13374 assumes a wind velocity based on 40m height. However, variations will include the physical location, the height of the structure and the duration that the edge protection will stay in place.

SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS
This practical training course comprises:
• Explanation of EN 13374 Class A and its practical parameters.
• Familiarisation of Temporary edge protection components and how they should be installed correctly.
• The system integrity depends on secure and accurate anchorage into the concrete floors, correct installation of Posts and Barriers with methods in place to ensure that Barriers won’t lift in high winds.

Anchors and Anchor Sockets
It is extremely important that anchors are selected, positioned and set, strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Typical Socket Base situations impose a tensile load on the anchor of approximately 6kN, and a shear load of at least 0.3kN for a 1mtr. long post.

Posts
These should have a device or design function to ensure that they can’t be unintentionally lifted from the socket.

TRAINING ENVIRONMENT

This course is conducted in a safe site zone with temporary edge protection in place.
It will need anchor points for a personal safety system to connect to.

CERTIFICATION

Each delegate will be given one to one practical training and upon successful completion will be provided with a certificate with a 36 month validity period.

Adjustable steel beam clamp

Posted by safetyrespect on 2023-08-30

Adjustable beam clamp for attaching to steel beams for connecting a fall arrest system. When attached to a steel beam this clamp will remain in position. It is not designed to slide along the section, so is not suitable for applications that require constant movement.

The clamp has spring loaded jaws with tightening screws for secure connection to the bottom flange of steel section. Suitable for beams 84-265 mm wide with maximum flange thickness of 23 mm. The clamp is manufactured from aluminium with a Nickel-plated lanyard connector and dee ring for harness connection. Certified to EN795 for a single user in fall arrest or work restraint.

Sliding beam clamp

Posted by safetyrespect on 2023-05-30

This Sliding beam clamp is an EN795 certified man riding anchorage device designed to slide along the beam as the user traverses its length ensuring the attachment point remains above the worker to reduce fall distances and the effects of a pendulum swing fall. Manufactured from aluminium for strength at light weight and is fitted with mechanical adjusters that engage and disengage using a simple push trigger design.

Lanyards or fall arrestors are connected to a Dee-ring that swivels a full 360 degrees to ensure that attachments do not become entangled or twisted. The bar will also swivel approximately 270° rotation allows for optimum work positioning.

Adjustment
The support bar is notched on each side providing twenty fixed widths to suit most common steel section widths carrying self-lubricating alloy paw inserts protect the device from direct wear and tear to ensure a long working life.

Specifications
Flange widths: 76-305 mm.
Flange thickness: 6,35-63 mm.
Ultimate tensile strength: 22 kN.
Maximum user weight: 137 kg.
Certification: EN795 Class B
Trigger adjusters: Mechanism engages and dis-engages using a simple trigger design.
Aluminium paw: Lightweight but strong and durable for maximum efficiency.
Swivel dee-ring: Swivels a full 360 degrees to ensure attachments do not become entangled or twisted.
Bar swivel: Approximately 270° rotation allows for optimum work positioning.
Paw inserts: The paws carry an alloy insert to protect the paw from direct wear and tear. The inserts are designed to be self-lubricating.
Support bar: 10 notches on each side of the aluminium bar gives a total of 20 fixed widths ensuring excellent versatility and range.
