The designed and developed

EEPS Rapid Panel has been

engineered with longevity in mind.

In addition to the values that

this system brings, environmental

benefits and General Contractors

bottom line are becoming major

factors in the adoption

of Engineered Edge

Protection Systems as a

standard for fall prevention.

Pedestrian Segregation & Directional BarriersEnsure site visitors and operatives are safely directed away from potential hazardous areas by utilizing the simple pedestrian directional barrier solution.

• Quick and easy to use, the solution can be installed in minutes by assembling just three standard components.

DemarcationUtilizing the same three free standing components, safe enclosures used as waste disposal or storage areas can be created in just minutes.

• Free standing countered weighted Rapid Edge Protection can be installed quickly and easily by attaching the purpose designed ballast bracket to the flexible Hi-Vis Footplate.

• Free standing edge protection systems derive their support from weighted components fixed to additional supporting systems which can be positioned on flat surfaces within 6 ft 6” off the edge of a fall area.

• As with all Rapid systems, the free standing solution has been tested at the unique 9 ft centers.

Using standard Rapid components,

in conjunction with an EEPS

Elevator Gate, a secure

enclosure can be built

to protect valuables

and control access.


ELEVATOR PROTECTION

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACHUnlike any other system available to the construction industry, the unique Rapid Elevator Gate offers protection to multiple core openings with just one elevator gate.

The solution utilizes light but extremely robust and user friendly components that feature a secure key activated locking gate. Standard Rapid components such as the innovative Rapid Post and Panel are utilized when completely securing the protected areas.

There is no need for any penetration of the working surface; multiple lift shaft protection is completed in just minutes. As with all EEPS components, the Elevator Gate has been certificated by Lloyds British in line with OSHA 1926.502

HORIZONTAL CABLES Caution must be exercised when the

Rapid Cast-In Wall Anchor is used

with horizontal cables due to the

amplification of the horizontal load

component at the point of attachment

to the structure. Small angles of sag

can impose large amplification of loads

at the attachment points.

When the Rapid Cast-In Wall Anchor is

used with horizontal cable applications,

a professional engineer must approve

the design and use prior to installation.
