Abstract

Although the use of temporary edge protection systems (TEPS) is an importantmeasure to prevent falls from height in construction, there are no widely accepted methods forevaluating their performance. The aim of this study is to present a protocol to evaluate thecompliance with TEPS performance requirements. The protocol was developed by identifyingand categorizing requirements, establishing sources of evidence to evaluate each requirementand setting a scoring system to differentiate levels of requirement compliance. This articleillustrates the application of the protocol to two types of TEPS, called “metallic” and “wooden”.The results of the evaluation were discussed with representatives of contractors and suppliersof TEPS. The limitations and strengths of the protocol are discussed based on these applications.
