A unique passive guardrail system took the top construction award at the 27th annual INPEX, America’s largest invention trade show, held June 13-15, at the new Monroeville Convention Center, minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In the Construction Category, the Gold Medal went to Tom Murphy and Perimeter Protection Products' (PPP) EZ Post System. Perimeter president Tom Murphy invented the EZ Post passive fall restraint guardrail system as the culmination of 37 years in the commercial roofing industry. 

EZ Post System components meet and often exceed OSHA safety standards when used as a passive fall restraint guardrail system or when used as a personal fall arrestor anchor point. All posts exceed OSHA's 200-pound side-load requirement. All anchor points exceed OSHA's 5,000-pound tie-off load requirement.

The basic EZ Post System fundamentally consists of steel base plates that are welded to I-Beams either at the fabrication shop or in the field. The base plates receive posts that simply screw in. Cable guides are built onto every post.

The PPP EZ Post passive guardrail system was recently used on a project at the University of Arizona in Tucson. New epoxy version requires no drilling or welding

Since the initial development of the base plate used in steel construction, a variety of subsequent base plates have been developed for use in various concrete and wood applications. PPP's newest base plate is applied using a two-part epoxy, eliminating any need for drilling or welding.

All base plates take the same standard post, and/or a variety of other posts for specific applications. PPP offers a wide assortment of add-on accessories to meet a variety of needs. At the end of the project, cables can be removed and the posts simply screw out for reuse on the next job.
