Description
CableSafe Sharp Edges Corner Protection covers and marks sharp metal edges and protruding objects on steel structures, equipment, and machinery. The bright yellow signal colour makes the hazard visible from a distance, and the integrated 65 kg pull magnet keeps the protector firmly in place on any steel surface — no glue, no screws, no preparation.
Contact with sharp edges is one of the most common causes of cuts, lacerations, and crush injuries in engineering and industrial work. This corner protector eliminates the hazard at the source: it covers the edge, signals the risk, and stays in place during handling, cleaning, and operation.
Benefits
Corner guards for construction site bring several benefits:
- High safety level — covers and marks the hazard at the source
- Clear hazard marking — bright yellow signal colour visible from a distance
- Sustainable and reusable — move it to a new edge when the work zone changes
- Works on steel and wood — magnetic attachment to steel, screw fixing to wood
- Space-saving storage — stackable when not in use
Accidents With Sharp Edges
The Sharp Edges Corner Protection is ideal for marking and protecting sharp and protruding objects. Contact with sharp edges is routine in many engineering jobs.
Accidents happen especially without corner guards for construction site:
- where people are involved in handling sheet or strip metal;
- during work at presses, where small pieces of metal with sharp edges are handled frequently;
- following accidental contact with scrap metal, banding or swarf, principally during cleaning and disposal;
- by contact with machinery blades, cutters or tools (for example when fitting, removing, cleaning or storing).

FAQ
How strong is the magnet?
The integrated magnet has a 65 kg pull strength on flat steel.
Does the magnet damage the steel underneath?
No. The magnet sits on a soft contact pad, so it does not scratch coated, painted, or galvanised surfaces.
Can I use it on non-magnetic surfaces?
Yes. The protector includes mounting holes so it can be screwed into wood or other non-steel surfaces.
Is it reusable?
Yes. The protector is designed to be moved between work zones throughout its service life.
