  • Patent number: 11136756
    Abstract: An edge protection system for use with concrete flooring, including a first part for coupling to an edge portion of a first concrete flooring panel and a second part for coupling to an opposed edge portion of a second, neighbouring, concrete flooring panel, a dowel plate and a dowel sheath, wherein the dowel plate is for supporting the second concrete flooring panel relative to the first concrete flooring panel, the dowel sheath is fitted to extend laterally from the first part, with an internal cavity of the dowel sheath aligning with apertures formed in the first and second parts such that the dowel plate is able to be inserted into the dowel sheath cavity through said apertures to a supporting position in which the dowel plate remains in the apertures and extends laterally from the second part.
