Compression Post System
The compression post is a collective fall protection device that is used for securing edges between concrete slabs and other situations on construction sites. The system can be used in conjunction with edge protection barriers for full coverage. The toeboard of the mesh barrier prevents debris and material from entering or leaving the floor.

Applications Of Compression Post
Compression post edge protection is most commonly used on concrete-frame projects where you need fast, non-drill installation and frequent repositioning as the job progresses. It can also be adapted for certain steel frame conditions depending on the fixing interface and project method statement.
- Concrete slab edges & perimeters (RC frame floors, balconies, leading edges)
- Temporary protection during pour cycles (move up floor-by-floor with the program)
- Stair voids and floor openings (with double-height or full-height mesh panels)
- Lift shafts / service risers (where a non-penetrating fixing approach is preferred)
- Internal fit-out phases (keep edges protected without drilling into finished slabs)
- Selected steel-frame applications (when suitable fixing provisions are available)
Compression Post | The Ultimate FAQ Guide
1. When Should I Choose Compression Posts Instead Of Drill-And-Fix?
Choose compression posts when you need fast installation, frequent relocation, or you want to avoid slab penetration (common on concrete-frame builds and fit-out stages). They’re especially useful when your program changes often and you need to move protection quickly.
2. Do Compression Posts Require Drilling Or Anchors?
Typically no—that’s the key advantage. They’re designed to fix between concrete floors and soffits without anchors, using a compression mechanism to hold position.
3. Can Compression Posts Be Used To Fully Protect Openings (Not Just Slab Edges)?
Yes. Many systems can be configured with barriers plus containment netting to create fully covered openings, helping stop both people and loose materials from passing through.
5. What Height Range Can Compression Posts Cover?
It depends on the model—most are adjustable within a defined slab-to-soffit range, and some “XL” versions cover taller spans. Always confirm your project’s floor-to-soffit dimension against the manufacturer’s stated range.
6. Are Compression Post Systems EN 13374 Compliant?
Many compression-post solutions are tested/configured to EN 13374 (often Class A, sometimes A & B depending on the system and setup)—but compliance is configuration-specific (post + barrier type + height + fixing method). Ask for the test/technical documentation for the exact build you plan to use.
7. How Fast Is Installation Compared With Drill-And-Fix?
Many suppliers position compression posts as significantly faster because you eliminate drilling, dust, and anchor installation—plus relocation is simpler. Actual speed depends on crew experience, edge geometry, and containment requirements.
