Fromwork Kantenschutz

An edge protection system is a temporary collective fall-prevention barrier used to protect workers and materials at exposed edges. It’s commonly installed on slab perimeters, leading edges, stairwells, lift shafts, and openings during concrete and structural works.

Start with the substrate and fixing route—that’s what determines stability. Timber/aluminium formwork typically uses beam clamps, while concrete edges often use cast-in sockets, clamps, or bolt-on fixes, and steel may use beam clamps or specialized brackets. If you share your edge detail and formwork type, we can recommend the most suitable route.

At minimum: total protected edge length, working height, structure type (timber/aluminium/concrete/steel), application (slab edge/opening/stair), and preferred panel height. With these inputs, we can issue a system takeoff (BOM) that’s easier to compare and reorder.

Both are available. Mesh barriers are often preferred when debris control and a clear visual boundary matter, while rail-only setups may suit simpler edges. The best choice depends on site risk level and your method statement.

Yes. Edge protection systems are designed for repeated install/reset as the structure progresses. Standardizing one configuration across floors usually improves speed, reduces training time, and minimizes installation mistakes.

Compliance depends on the system configuration and project conditions (height, slope, loading, fixing method). Many projects reference EN 13374 for temporary edge protection, and scaffolding-related requirements may reference standards such as EN 12810/EN 12811 or AS/NZS 1576 depending on region and scope. We can support documentation and configuration recommendations for your approval process.
