Surestairs provide a UK wide telescopic edge protector hire service for the UK construction industry. Edge protection systems are an efficient and effective work equipment system that help to reduce accidents on site. Falls from height remain the major cause of injury or death within the construction industry. Unguarded edges and open stairwells present a risk of significant injury to site operatives. A Yorkshire construction company was fined £300,000.00 after a worker on site fell through an opening for a staircase which had yet to be installed. The 24 year old man suffered serious spinal injuries as a result. The resulting Health and Safety Executive investigation identified a number of failures in the management of work at height on site. Simple steps to prevent a fall had not been taken. No stairwell cover had been used and neither had an edge protection system been installed. Using edge protectors would have protected the open stairwell opening. Steel upright posts can be secured in position quickly and easily by screwing the post to the flooring. The steel telescopic horizontal guardrails can be adjusted to create a secure protective barrier. The house builder was found to have failed to take adequate protective measures to prevent falls from height.
