A Temporary Edge Protection System compliant to EN 13374 is a modular, collective safety measure comprising Mesh barriers, Posts and Base Feet that when anchored into Concrete around the perimeter of a structure or exposed edges will prevent personnel, objects or materials from falling as the structure is constructed.
SafetyRespect is the largest manufacturer of temporary edge protection equipment in the world, manufacturing over 100,000 safety barriers annually from our own factories in Germany and Turkiye.
SafetyRespect maintains a major competitive advantage in the temporary edge protection and fall safety industry controlling its entire value chain as a direct manufacturer. Unlike many competitors who rely on third-party manufacturing or white-label distribution, SafetyRespect develops, manufactures, and markets its own patented products across its own high-tech factories. [1, 2, 3]
This vertically integrated model offers clear operational benefits over industry alternatives:
- Price & Capacity Control: By cutting out third-party manufacturers, they maintain full control over pricing, quality checks, and production capacity. [1]
- Shorter Lead Times: Direct control eliminates the supply chain bottlenecks common to traditional distributors, guaranteeing on-time delivery for high-stakes projects. [1]
Standard market Barriers rely purely on Powder-Coating directly onto steel that chips and corrodes quickly in the working environment whereas, SafetyRespect manufactured Barriers have anti corrosion durability built into them.
All components manufactured by SafetyRespect are Zinc Plated before receiving a high quality Powder Coating which extends their working life long beyond those of non-Zinc Plated components.
Zinc Plating improves the corrossion resistance of our components by five times when compared to non Zinc Coated components.

Temporary Edge Protection System -Type VT
Temporary Edge Protection System – Type SR
VT Barriers are designed with a top bent profile which slides over Anchored Posts to form a secure temporary guardrail, replacing traditional twin guardrails, toe-boards and loose fittings.
Users of Combisafe or Extraguard edge protection will be familiar with the features and installation method of VT system.
VT system carries a large range of components for connecting to concrete, steel or timber, all designed for compliancy to EN13374.
