Edge Protection Systems For Stair Edge

A stair edge protection system is a safety solution specifically designed to prevent falls from the edges of stairways during construction, maintenance, or any work-at-height activities. The system works by creating a physical barrier that protects workers from falling off exposed stair edges, which are considered high-risk areas on construction sites. The system typically includes several key components:
  • Mesh Panels: Often used in combination with guardrails to provide additional fall protection and prevent objects from falling through gaps.
  • Posts: Securely holding the protection system in place, ensuring that the system stays firmly in place.
  • Socket Bases, Clamps, or Edge Brackets: Used to attach the posts to the structure of the stairway or adjacent surfaces, ensuring the system is safely anchored.

Different Types Of Stair Edge Protection System Solutions

The temporary stair edge protection system during construction was complex and expensive. Staircases, stair landings, and returns vary in nature and often require many cut pipes, spikes, and specially constructed protection.

APAC mesh barrier systems for stairs are designed to solve these problems by providing a systematic solution that can be used independently or integrated with a stencil guardrail system.

We developed the specific clamping devices, APAC clamp, and the mounted socket base for safe access and egress by staircases within construction projects.
