The Kwikstage Edge Protection Standards are safety-critical components designed to create secure guardrail systems on scaffolding platforms, preventing falls and protecting workers from edge hazards. Constructed from 48.3mm galvanized steel tubes with welded base plates and adjustable clamps, these standards provide a rigid vertical support for top rails, midrails, and kick plates. The base plate features pre-drilled holes for both concrete fixing and deck mounting, while the clamp mechanism allows height adjustment in 150mm increments to meet various safety regulations.
Compliance with Global Standards: Meets EN 13374 Class A and OSHA 1926.451 requirements, with a top rail capable of withstanding 1kN of horizontal force.
Adjustable Height Design: The telescopic section allows quick height adjustment from 1.0m to 1.3m, accommodating different platform heights and guardrail specifications.
Stable Base Plate: The 200x200mm base plate with 12mm fixing holes ensures secure anchoring to both solid and decked surfaces, reducing the risk of tipping.
Modular Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Kwikstage ledger brackets, toe board brackets, and guardrail fittings, creating a unified edge protection system.
These standards are essential for any project requiring compliant edge protection, including:
1. High-rise construction where perimeter guardrails are non-negotiable
2. Refurbishment projects on historic buildings, where temporary protection is needed without damaging structures
3. Civil engineering works such as tunnel portals and bridge decks
4. Warehouse racking installations and mezzanine platforms that require fall protection.
Q: How many standards are needed per linear meter of guardrail?
A: A standard spacing of 2.0m between standards is recommended. For rooftop applications, reduce spacing to 1.5m.
Q: Can the base plate be welded to steel structures?
A: Yes, but ensure the galvanized coating is repaired with anti-corrosive paint after welding to maintain protection.
Q: What is the minimum platform width required for installation?
A: A minimum width of 600mm is recommended to allow safe access while maintaining guardrail integrity.
Q: Are these standards suitable for temporary roof edge protection?
A: Yes, when used with appropriate base weights and wind bracing, they meet the requirements for temporary roof edge systems.
