Front-Mounted Edge Protection Post (1.2m)
$180.00
The front mounted edge protection post is a specialized 1.2m steel post designed for face-mounting on slabs and vertical structures. Ideal for tight spaces or projects where top-surface access is restricted.
The HC44 is engineered for scenarios where the top or side of a slab is unavailable for mounting. By anchoring directly to the front face of the structure, this post provides a secure leading edge fall protection point without interfering with floor-level activities. It features a compact 6.5cm offset, ensuring the barrier panel clears the slab edge while remaining fully compliant with OSHA leading edge fall protection standards.
Key Advantages
- Facade Optimized: The perfect choice for perimeter safety during exterior finishing or facade work.
- Space-Saving Offset: 6.5cm clearance allows for architectural nuances while maintaining a rigid safety boundary.
- Standard Compatibility: Features dual locking brackets to accept any OZKB series temporary edge protection panel.
Specifications
- Model: HC44
- Height: 1.20 meters
- Profile: 40 x 40 mm (1.5mm wall thickness)
- Offset: 6.5 cm from structure face.
The front mounted edge protection post is a specialized 1.2m steel post engineered for face-mounting on concrete slabs and vertical structures. Where top-mounting is blocked by structural constraints and side-mounting doesn’t provide sufficient clearance, the front mounted post delivers a secure, OSHA-compliant anchor point by attaching directly to the front face of the slab edge.
The front mounted edge protection post is the professional solution for tight spaces, complex slab geometries and any construction environment where conventional top or side mounting methods are not viable.
Front Mounted Edge Protection Post Applications
The front mounted edge protection post is the right solution for:
- Slab edges where top-surface access is restricted or blocked
- Tight spaces where side-mounted posts cannot provide sufficient clearance
- Vertical structures and slab faces requiring direct front face mounting
- Complex construction environments where conventional mounting methods are not viable
- Any application requiring a 1.2m fixed height front face mount post

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a front mounted edge protection post?
A front mounted edge protection post is a steel guardrail post that attaches to the front face of a concrete slab or vertical structure. Unlike top-mounted posts that install on the slab surface, or side-mounted posts that attach to the slab side face, the front mounted post provides a secure anchor point by clamping or bolting directly to the front vertical face of the slab edge.
When should I use a front mounted edge protection post?
Use the front mounted edge protection post when top-surface access is restricted or blocked, or when side-mounting doesn’t provide sufficient clearance for your edge protection panels. It is specifically designed for tight spaces and complex slab geometries where conventional mounting methods are not viable.
Does the front mounted edge protection post meet OSHA requirements?
Yes. The front mounted edge protection post is OSHA compliant and engineered to meet construction edge protection requirements at 1.2m height when used as part of a complete HodChutes modular edge protection system.
Is the front mounted edge protection post compatible with all HodChutes panels?
Yes. The front mounted edge protection post is fully compatible with all HodChutes steel mesh panels — from the 1.0m barrier to the 2.5m maximum span barrier — making it a fully modular component of any HodChutes edge protection system.
