TOE BOARD PROTECTIVE BARRIER| CABLESAFE

Product Code: Toe Board
The CableSafe Toe Board Protective Barrier is a robust safety solution designed to prevent tools, materials, and other items from falling through openings on elevated walkways, gratings, and platforms. Made with rigid, non-corrosive polyurethane for outdoor and harsh environment applications, it enhances workplace safety while offering long-term durability.
Product Overview
The CableSafe Toe Board Protective Barrier is engineered to address one of the most common safety risks in elevated working environments: open gaps around pipes, penetrations and platform edges. By creating a continuous physical barrier, it helps contain tools, materials, and debris at source, reducing the likelihood of dropped objects and improving overall site safety.
Designed with practicality in mind, this barrier offers a long-lasting safety upgrade without complex installation or ongoing maintenance. The tough polyurethane material withstands harsh industrial conditions, including UV exposure and weathering, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. With its high-visibility finish and adaptable design, the CableSafe toe board protective barrier integrates seamlessly into existing structures while supporting compliance with dropped-object prevention best practices.
