Abstract
Requirements and test methods are given for three classes of temporary edge protection systems that are used during construction or maintenance of buildings and other structures. Applies to systems for flat and inclined surfaces. Details are given for the energy absorption requirements of those with an arrest function (e.g. falling or sliding down a sloping roof). Details are given for systems which can be fixed to the structure and others relying on gravity and friction on flat surfaces.
