Steel Edge Protection Barrier (1.0m)
$180.00
The HC53 steel edge protection barrier is precision-engineered for tight spaces and complex slab geometries. This 1000mm panel provides a high-visibility, OSHA-compliant physical guard for corners, stairwells and high-risk zones.
The HC53 is the foundation of a versatile temporary edge protection strategy. While larger panels cover distance, the 1-meter unit is essential for securing corners, stairwells, and specialized equipment access points. Constructed from 4.2mm reinforced steel wire, it creates a rigid vertical boundary that exceeds standard leading edge fall protection requirements.
Key Advantages
- Compliance: Fully meets EN 13374 and OSHA roof edge protection standards (1926.502).
- Modular Design: Seamlessly integrates with adjustable posts and base clamps for a complete temporary edge protection system.
- Industrial Build: Finished in high-visibility safety yellow (powder-coated) or galvanized steel for maximum service life in coastal or high-corrosion environments.
Specifications
- Model: HC53
- Dimensions: 1.00m (L) x 1.06m (H)
- Wire Gauge: 4.2mm reinforced mesh
- Compatibility: Fits all standard top-mount and side-mount safety posts.
The HC53 steel edge protection barrier is the foundation panel of the HodChutes modular edge protection system. At 1000mm wide, this compact panel is specifically engineered for the situations where larger panels cannot be deployed — corners, stairwells, equipment access points and complex slab geometries that require precise coverage.
Constructed from reinforced steel wire mesh, the HC53 steel edge protection barrier creates a rigid vertical boundary that exceeds standard leading edge fall protection requirements while maintaining compatibility with all HodChutes posts and ground support components.
Steel Edge Protection Barrier Applications
The HC53 steel edge protection barrier is the essential panel for:
- Securing corners and 90-degree changes in slab edge direction
- Protecting stairwell openings and equipment access points
- Filling gaps between larger panels in continuous guardrail runs
- Complex slab geometries where standard 1.5m or 2.0m panels are too wide
- Any high-risk zone requiring precise 1-meter coverage
Key Features
- Reinforced steel wire mesh — exceeds standard fall protection requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a steel edge protection barrier?
A steel edge protection barrier is a rigid modular panel that forms the horizontal barrier section of a temporary edge protection guardrail system. It installs between posts to create a continuous fall prevention barrier along slab edges, roof perimeters and other elevated work areas on construction sites.
Why choose a 1.0m steel edge protection barrier over a larger panel?
The 1.0m HC53 steel edge protection barrier is specifically designed for corners, stairwells and tight spaces where larger 1.5m, 2.0m or 2.5m panels cannot be installed. It is the essential gap-filling panel in any complete edge protection system.
Does the HC53 meet OSHA standards?
Yes. The HC53 steel edge protection barrier fully meets OSHA roof edge protection standards. It is constructed from reinforced steel wire mesh and finished in high-visibility safety yellow for maximum jobsite compliance.
Is the HC53 compatible with other HodChutes edge protection posts?
Yes. The HC53 steel edge protection barrier is compatible with all HodChutes posts including top-mount, side-mount, parapet clamp and adjustable base support posts, making it a fully modular component of any HodChutes edge protection system.
