Overview
1.1
Application
A roof edge protection is a structure with handrails to prevent accidents at height.
The roof edge protection may be placed if:
−
The roof slope is no greater than 60°.
−
The fall height is not higher than 5 m
−
The subsoil can bear the forces (see 1.1.1)
For roofs higher than 5 m, the roof pitch limit is 45° degrees. For class C, however, it is mandatory to
also install the roof bracket and secure it to the roof boarding.
These conditions are adopted and tested according to NEN-EN 13374. The nets comply with EN 1263-
1 and with assembly they are brought to the correct tension.
ASC Group roof edge protection is not intended for leaning against, sitting on or replacing a
permanent balustrade. If in doubt, always consult your supplier or the manufacturer; contact
information can be found at the front of this document.
Forces
From the standard, the following loadings follow: The vertical force includes its own weight.
A roof edge protection should be constructed by secured persons.
