  • Page 4: Operating Manual

    OPERATING MANUAL TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS The edge protection system: A set of elements used to protect workers from a fall and to catch falling materials. Main railing: A railing or an element which makes the upper edge / surface of the edge protection system.
  • Page 5: Purpose And Scope Of Usage

    PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF USAGE The edge protection system is aimed at securing the outer edges of buildings and used as a protection measure while performing works on lower levels and to secure communication strings. The edge protection system is used while performing constructional works for, primarily, protecting and preventing from the falls of people an objects onto the lower working levels.
  • Page 6 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM POLE TOE BOARD HOLDER INTERMEDIATE BARRIER MAIN RAILING BOARD The edge protection system is a steel construction (or metal-wooden) consisting of three main parts: an assembly holder, a pole and an intermediate barrier. The intermediate barrier can be set in three different options, e.g.
