Edge Protectors: Buying Guide


What are edge protectors and what do they do?

Edge protectors are safeguards that you apply and install around sharp edges. They come in different shapes and sizes to suit various surfaces or purposes. An edge protector is also known as an edge guard.

These guards or protectors prevent injuries caused by the sharp edges of objects such as counters, tables, pillars and corners. They also protect valuable assets from damage caused by impacts or constant scuffing or abrasions.

Seton’s health and safety experts carefully evaluated and sourced the best and most versatile edge protectors for all commercial and industrial environments. You will find multi-purpose and specialised edge guards in our comprehensive range.

Use our Rounded Polyurethane Foam Edge Impact Protectors for shelf and counter edges in high-traffic and impact-prone environments such as warehouses and industrial setups. This innovative sharp edge protector is made from recyclable materials and provides effective cushioning against impacts. It also regains its shape after impact. You install this edge protector by simply pushing it onto the edges.

We also offer square and trapezoid polyurethane foam edge impact protectors. You can use this for shelving or sharp-edged counters or pallets.

The Polyurethane Foam Square Edge Impact Protectors are ideal for use on shelf edges. The square shape provides a constant foam thickness from three angles for optimal protection. The highly visible yellow and black stripes effectively alert people. This edge guard also has a protective film to prevent the colours from fading.

These protectors are all made from recycled materials and regain their shape after impact. Quality measures, such as colour-protecting film, prolong the lifespan of the products.

Why your workplace needs edge protectors

Most workplaces, even offices, run a risk of people injuring themselves against sharp edges. Employees and visitors often bump into the sharp corners of shelves, tables or counters. These impacts can cause serious injuries such as cuts and deeper lacerations.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that employers conduct careful risk assessments to determine where an edge protector is needed. The HSE investigate injuries caused by the handling of objects with sharp edges, but also acknowledges injuries caused by static objects.

When assessing risks, employers must consider:

  • All surfaces, shelving, counters and tabletops with sharp edges.

  • The protection of vulnerable edges on vehicles, such as door edges bumping against walls.

  • Handling of sharp items such as metal sheets or scrap metal.

  • Contact with sharp-edged tools such as equipment and machinery with blades.


The HSE found that those at risk include:

  • Store and warehouse staff.

  • Maintenance workers.

  • Operators of equipment and machines, such as welding tools.

  • Employees in general.

  • Visitors to workplaces.


Installing edge protectors is one of the safety measures that employers can take to mitigate the risk of injuries caused by sharp edges. Seton’s wide selection includes an edge guard for every situation.

Our Sharp Edge Protectors effectively protect vehicles and people from damage or injury caused by sharp edges. You can use this versatile product on steel, aluminium, wood and concrete in a variety of settings, such as warehouses, gymnasiums and playgrounds. It is a durable solution that resists damage caused by oils, acids, detergents and ultraviolet rays, making it perfect for indoor and outdoor use.

Another flexible option is our Magnetic Polyurethane Foam Impact Protection Edge Protector. Embedded magnetic metal strips make the product easy to apply and remove. It offers great temporary protection for metal surfaces during process work, storage or transportation. The non-ageing polyurethane is easy to cut to size – even if you are on site. This product contains no environment-harming CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) or silicone.

Types of edge protectors

Different types of edge protectors serve different purposes and shield different edges. Some are multi-purpose edge guards and can be used for shelves and tables, for example.

The Standard Door-Stop Barrier absorbs impacts to prevent the damage caused by walls when opening doors. You can directly bolt this to the surface thanks to the flanged bearing. A rubber shock absorber channels impact and protects the door and handlers.

Heavy-duty edge protectors are ideal for tough environments, including loading docks and industrial warehouses, and institutions such as schools. Seton’s Polyurethane Foam Impact Profile Protectors safeguard both people and objects. They are perfect for multiple environments, and installation is effortless.

Foam edge protectors and edge protector strips often have black and yellow stripes to warn people of possible danger. We also have a shelf edge protector and wall edge protector with these warning colours.

Our edge protectors are hardy and durable, so you can confidently use them in indoor and outdoor settings. Be sure to also look at our superior-quality and flexible height restriction barriers for added safety in the workplace.
