Edge protection systems help to close gaps and create a safe working area at uncertain heights. As is known, many accidents occur in the construction sector in our country, and a high percentage of these result in injuries and deaths. For this reason, safety is given great importance in working at height. One of the most important measures that can be taken in safe working at height is edge protection systems. In today’s world where safety is everything, you can provide a safe working environment in every sense by acquiring edge protection systems. You can benefit from our TSE-approved systems with peace of mind.
The main purpose of edge protection systems is to prevent injuries to individuals, protect the materials used, and consider the benefit of both the worker and the company with the principle of complete safety and complete protection. At Gürbüz Scaffolding and Formwork Systems, our priority is to act with a policy of preventing accidents that damage property and equipment and personal injuries. As Gürbüz Scaffolding and Formwork Systems, with our occupational safety policy above all else, we have 100% customer satisfaction in all the services we provide, such as Facade Scaffolding Systems, Formwork Support Scaffolding Systems, and Formwork Systems.
Types of Edge Protection Systems
Edge protection systems are manufactured with different specifications according to the load-bearing system of the structure they will be applied to, the working height, and the project requirements. Choosing the right system not only increases worker safety but also contributes to a more efficient installation process and ensures the work schedule continues without interruption.
Edge protection solutions used in construction projects differ according to their mounting method, service life, and application area. Therefore, when making a selection, criteria such as whether the structure has a reinforced concrete, steel, or mixed load-bearing system, the characteristics of the working platform, and the need for disassembly and reuse should be evaluated together.
Choosing an edge protection system suitable for the project helps to fully meet safety requirements while also keeping maintenance and operating costs under control. For more comprehensive information, you can review the Temporary Edge Protection Systems page.
The most frequently preferred types of edge protection systems and their basic usage characteristics are summarized in the table below:
| Edge Protection System | Area of Use | Key Feature |
| Temporary Edge Protection Systems | Areas requiring temporary safety measures during construction | It can be quickly assembled and disassembled, and reused in different projects. |
| Steel Edge Protection Systems | Steel frame structures and industrial facilities | It offers high durability and is suitable for heavy-duty working conditions. |
| Adjustable Edge Protection Systems | Structural elements of varying thicknesses and dimensions. | Its adjustable design allows for flexible use. |
| Reinforced Concrete Edge Protection Systems | Reinforced concrete slab, shear wall and column applications. | It provides effective protection by being securely fixed to concrete surfaces. |
Choosing an edge protection system suitable for the structural characteristics and working conditions of the project contributes to meeting occupational safety standards completely and to a more efficient application process.
