Live Edge Protection (LEP)
Wherever anyone could fall, the first line of defence is to provide adequate edge protection to prevent a fall occurring.
This should be equivalent to:
- a main guard rail at least 950 mm above the edge
- a toe board where there is risk of objects being kicked off the edge of the platform
- a suitable number of intermediate guard rails or suitable alternatives positioned so that there is no gap more than 470 mm.
