New group protection system in heights The new protection equipment was pre- sented at the past edition of Sicur. Designed, manufactured and certified as fall arrest, for people and objects at heights lower than roofs, it is the ideal solution protecting against falls from ladders, edges and any other area pre- senting fall hazards. The rail protects when installed on edges, but it will also act as a handrail for people waking along narrow, high ledges or terraces. These devices comply with UNE-EN 13374 standards, dated December 2004. The regulation was set up by the AEN/CTN 81 technical committee as Group Prevention and Protection means in the workplace, where AENOR-INSHT acts as Secretary to the committee. The standard applies to all provisional edge protection systems, during construc- tion or maintenance works in building and other structures. It is installed around the edges of hori- zontal or slanted surfaces, and specifies requirements of static and dynamic resistance of the types of materials used to manufacture the system, including protection against corrosion, forces act- ing due to winds, marking, etc. Protek® edge protection systems are cer- tified by AIDICO, a Certifying Entity with ENAC certification. Protek® Class A edge protection systems carry certificate No. 00504, dated 02/25/2008. And Protek® Class B edge protection systems carry cer- tificate No. 00505, dated 02/25/2008.
