Platform Edge Protection

Platform Edge Protection

The Platform Edge Protection (PEP) system is a safety-approved solution that provides a secure working environment for personnel operating on railway station platforms. Designed to eliminate the risk of falls onto the track, the system ensures compliance with rail safety standards while being lightweight, durable, and easy to install. Constructed from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), the posts and poles offer significant advantages over traditional metallic alternatives. GRP is non-conductive, corrosion-resistant, and features high tensile strength and impact resistance, making it ideal for electrified rail environments where bonding is unnecessary.RISQS & Link-up Achilles Registered Supplier Number 058540
