Life on the edge
Proprietary temporary edge protection systems designed to BS EN 13374, e.g. Combisafe must be considered as the preferred option for fall prevention from roof / slab / floor edges and openings and on formwork systems.
Scaffold tube and fitting edge protection solutions must be designed to meet the relevant load requirements of BS EN 13374 to include a drawing and design checks where necessary:
A handover certificate and initial inspection is required on completion of the installation and following significant alteration and should be subject to further inspections by a competent person at least every 7 days or after adverse weather.
