4BUILDING EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEM Instruction for use

GENERAL

The presented building edge protection system belongs to the “A” class. An “A” class system transfers static loads

only. Should the dynamic loads be presents you cannot use the system shown in these instructions. When the working

surface that is protected with the system is inclined by more than 15° the use of the system shown in the instructions

is prohibited.

The temporary safety protection system belongs to the general protection systems which are required and used

during the construction works.

The system presented meets all legal requirements concerning the equipment, location and strength in force in Poland

as well as the requirements speciﬁed in PN-EN 13374 in terms of the “A” protection class.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS 2

Versatile railing post

Index

ZZA023

This component is made of the steel pipe Ø48,3 mm with a

wall 2,6 mm thick. The pipe tolerance is compliant with PN-EN

10219. The location and mounting parts are provided along the

pipe height to install the main and intermediate railing. The post

bottom is ﬁnished with a plate 10 mm thick with a hole Ø13 to

mount the anchor. The swivel railing and toeboard ﬁxing parts

installed on the post allow for smooth installation of the pro-

tective railing around the post vertical axis. Owing to that it is

possible to install the railings on the complex ceiling edges.

Main and intermediate railing

Index

ZZA024

Made of the steel pipe Ø 33,7 x 2,6, 3,0 m long. The pipe toler-

ance is compliant with PN-EN10219. The railing pipes are galva-

nized and ﬁnished with red shrink jackets over 200 mm. They

indicate the railing zone that should protrude beyond the posts.

Toeboard

Index

As regards this system it is a wooden plank 150 mm high and

min. 25 mm thick, and 3,0 m long. The toeboards should be

made of the S10 class coniferous timber according to DIN

4074-1 (C25 according to EN338). The toeboard must always

be 200 + 200 mm longer than the railing spacing. The toeboard

may be painted providing that the paint does not make the visu-

al control of the timber condition difﬁcult. It is acceptable to use

the sawn timber that meets these requirements.

Storage palette

Index

ZZA022

Used to transport and store the railings. The palette can also be

used to store the toeboards 3,0 m long. It is made of the steel

sections 60 x 60 x 3 and galvanized. The palette is equipped with

the transportation belt. Overall dimensions: 1200 x 800 x 825.

ﬁg. 2 – Sequence of the railing assembly

Before the assembly you should check the technical condi-

tion of the components collected. You should check wheth-

er the welds are not cracked or no moveable pieces are

missing that are the integral part of the railings, or the pipe

sections are not bent and make the components malfunc-

tion. The pipes Ø33,7 x 2,6 which are used as the main and

intermediate railing should be straight, with no bends over

the entire length.

• Start the assembly by determining a line located at least 200 mm from

the ceiling edge. This is the minimum distance of the anchoring points. The

railing will be installed along this line (ﬁg. 4).

• Drill the anchor holes along the determined line. The maximum post axial

spacing is 2,6 m. As regards B20 and higher class concrete you should

use the anchor with the axial (extracting) force not less than 8,5 kN or

another anchor with similar parameters. As regards fastening to the sur-

faces with low bearing capacity use an anchor of the type appropriate for

the surface that will transfer the axial (extracting) force according to the

above-mentioned speciﬁcations. The anchors should be installed accord-

ing to the documents and recommendations of the anchor manufacturer.

The minimum concrete slab thickness: 18 cm.

• After inserting the anchor sleeve into the hole position the post and screw

it to the surface with a torque of 50 Nm. The arrow on the label on the

post foot indicates the proper post position in relation to the ceiling edge

(ﬁg. 2).

• Install the planks 150 mm high that form the toeboards by raising and

lowering the bottom toeboard mountings. The toeboards must always

be located on the inside of the building. Drive the nails into the toeboard

clamping ring holes to stabilize the toeboards (ﬁg. 2 and 6).

• When installing the railings between the walls the ﬁrst post and the ﬁrst

railing from the wall should be installed so that the distance from the wall

to the beginning of the railing does not exceed 120 mm. As regards the

toeboard this distance cannot exceed 20 mm.

All spaces between the edge protection system and other building struc-

ture components should be as small as possible and cannot exceed 120 mm

as regards the railings. The distance between the toeboard and other struc-

ture components cannot exceed 20 mm (ﬁg. 5).

• The main railings are installed by positioning the pipes

Ø33,7 x 2,6 on the upper mounting rods and locking them

by hitting the end rod with the 600 g hammer from above

• The intermediate railings are installed by positioning the

pipes Ø 33,7 x 2,6 on the bottom mounting rods and locking

them by hitting the end rod with the 600 g hammer from

above. The railing pipes must always be located on the in-

side of the building.

• The railing pipes should protrude beyond the supporting

points (posts) by at least 200 mm. Typical railing pipes are

marked red over 200 mm at both ends. This is the marking

of the zone that protrudes beyond the posts (ﬁg. 7 and 8).

3 QUICK ASSEMBLY GUIDE

BUILDING EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEM Instruction for use

To disassemble the posts you should start from disassembling the intermediate railing by bouncing the end rods with

the hammer. Then you should disassemble the toeboards. The main railing should be disassembled last before the

posts are disassembled. To disassemble the posts remove to M12 screws. In general, the disassembly is opposite to

the assembly.

• The system transfers static loads only, do not use it when the dynamical loads are present.

• The system may be used when the wind speed does not exceed 30 m/s.

• When the building edge is covered with ice and the working surface is slippery remove the ice and the reason why

the surface is slippery before the protection system is installed.

• When the building edge is covered with snow remove it before the system in installed.

Should people or objects be caught (fall) in emergency you should inspect the components.

Railings:

• railings with the bent or torn section should be scraped,

• railings bent by no more than 10 cm from the straight line can be repaired by straightening,

• railings with the damaged red shrink jackets should be repaired by installing new jackets.

Posts:

• posts with the bent section should be scraped,

• posts with the torn section should be scraped,

• posts with the pipe section permanently bent by more than 5 cm from the straight line should be scraped,

• posts with the broken mounting rods should be repaired by re-welding and re-painting,

• posts with the broken end rods should be scraped,

• posts with the bent fastening rods should be straightened,

• posts with the bent foot plates should be repaired by straightening,

• posts with the cracked welds should be repaired,

• posts with the bent, twisted toeboard handles should be straightened.

Toeboards:

• toeboards with the crosswise cracks should be scraped,

• toeboards with the longitudinal cracks exceeding 200 mm should be scraped,

• toeboards with the falling knots should be scraped.

Should people or objects be caught (fall) in emergency a competent person should check (inspect)

the components and the protection system.
