Finnish term or phrase: aukkosuoja
Hello all,

Does anyone know what the correct US English translation of aukkosouja is.

Context:
Work Safety Plan, translation, Fi-EN-US

On construction sites, the risk of falling is lessened by putting up safety barriers with aukkosoujat (protected sliding gates ??)

A manhole cover


Explanation:
Unfortunately I could not open up the link but I have a strong opinion we could be referring to manhole covers in this instance.
A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole, to prevent anyone from falling in and to keep unauthorized persons out.
