Where conditions allow, the Rapid Edge Protection System can be installed at ground level prior to erecting the steel frame which significantly reduces exposure to the dangers of working at height. Pre-indexing of the system ensures the barriers are suitable for all following works.
The Bolt on Socket system is used on steel frames and requires the steelwork contractor to bolt the socket to the top of the perimeter beam at centres detailed by a technical team.
The Sacrificial Socket system is commonly used on steel frames and requires the steelwork contractor to weld the socket to the perimeter beam at centres detailed by a technical team.
The most popular method of fixing to the steel frame is by utilising the versatile Web Fix bracket. The bracket offers a vertical and horizontal indexing facility with positioning of the fixing holes being modelled by a technical team at an early stage to allow a safe installation at ground level.
Web Fix Extension Brackets
EU091/NA091 = 200mm Extension Arm
EU092/NA092 = 400mm Extension Arm
Working in connection with the Web Fix bracket, 200mm & 400mm extension arms can extend the range achievable with the Web Fix Bracket.
This solution is used for areas where Web Fix brackets and sockets are not suitable, or where edge protection requirements have not been considered at an earlier stage.
At our recently upgraded training centre in Leeds, product training and training covering the standard for temporary edge protection systems, BSEN13374:2013+A1.2018 is available to all customers.
The level of training undertaken at the Rapid Centre will involve practical sessions including product installation and hazard identification and also theory session.
That’s great and all, and we commend you for pushing through with it. Unfortunately we no longer offer support for IE; it hasn’t received a major update since 2015 and Microsoft are dropping support for it later in the year.
