Abstract
A fastener assembly for mounting a panel to a framework includes an elongate flexible tie having a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a clamping block. The clamping block has a tie-receiving channel extending between an inner and an opposing outer side, and a gripper in or adjacent the tie-receiving channel for gripping the tie. The proximal end is fixable to the clamping block and, in use, the inner side of the clamping block abuts the panel and the gripper grips the tie such that tension in the tie presses the inner side of the clamping block against the panel. A mesh panel made of polymeric material and having a honeycomb shaped mesh, together with the fastener assembly, forms a barrier system for erecting a drop-protection barrier on a safety railing, scaffolding, or like framework.
