Post For Edge Protection
The Compression Post is a system used as edge protection for concrete slabs and other situations on construction sites. This allows a safe and quick installation of temporary edge protection. Unlike the shoring prop it is not anchored or bolted but uses friction and compression fixings between the floor and soffit. By extending the inner pipe to the ceiling and activating the compression function with a foot pedal, the system is easy to install. Combined with the Barrier and Containment Net it provides collective fall protection.
This system is very useful as it can be fixed to the floor without drilling into the permanent structure concrete and it is also a cost effective solution for the steel frame industry. With the increased number of accidents due to lack of proper edge protection, there has been a rapid growth in demand for this product. It is one of the most popular and reliable systems to prevent accidents due to falling from height at construction sites.
We offer various types of edge protection systems to suit different needs and applications. From a simple slab grab to complex structures, our systems ensure workers’ safety and comply with strict health and safety regulations. Our products are available in a variety of materials and finishes, from galvanised to powder-coated. They can be used in various applications and environments including industrial floors, stairways, walkways, and roof tops.
Compression Post For Edge Protection
Our range of edge protection systems is available in both manual and automatic versions. Manual models are easily installed and positioned to the desired location. Automatic systems are controlled by a controller to operate in either manual or auto mode. This means the system will automatically extend and lower depending on whether there is a person standing beneath it or not. This increases the productivity of the workforce and improves safety standards.
The new Combisafe POWER POST fixes between concrete floors and soffits without anchors to enable a safe and rapid installation of temporary edge protection. Its unique compression unit applies a force of up to 7.0kN, providing EN 13374 compliant performance and is easy to fit and adjust even with barriers or netting in place.
Compression posts for edge protection play a vital role in ensuring the safety and structural integrity of construction projects. By providing structural support, enhancing safety, increasing efficiency, and ensuring compliance with regulations, these posts have become indispensable in the construction industry. Their ease of installation and maintenance further add to their appeal. When embarking on a construction project, it is crucial to prioritize edge protection and consider the implementation of compression posts to mitigate risks and ensure the well-being of workers.
In the construction industry, ensuring the safety and structural integrity of buildings is of utmost importance. One key component that plays a vital role in this regard is the compression post for edge protection. Designed to provide support and reinforcement to building edges, this innovative technology has revolutionized the way construction projects are executed. In this article, we will explore the significance and benefits of compression posts for edge protection in construction.
