Telescopic edge protection post

A telescopic edge protection post arrangeable between a floor and a ceiling, the telescopic edge protection post comprising

• an outer tube comprising a bottom end and a top end;
• an inner tube comprising a bottom end and a top end, the inner tube extending into the outer tube and being movable with respect thereto between an extended position and a collapsed position;
• a locking mechanism arranged to lock the inner tube with respect to the outer tube in an extended position;
• and
• a tensioning unit arranged at the top end of the inner tube, the tensioning unit comprising a tensioning element having a primary tensioning portion and a secondary tensioning portion,
• wherein tensioning of the secondary tensioning portion requires a lower force than tensioning of the primary tensioning portion, allowing tensioning of the secondary tensioning portion by means of extending the telescopic edge protection post by hand into engagement with the floor and the ceiling, wherein the tensioning element is configured to be further tensioned by tensioning the primary tensioning portion, and
• wherein the primary and secondary tensioning portions each comprises a compression spring.
