Reusable anchor connector
Post drilled reusable anchor connector certified according to EN795, used for fall arrest and work restraint systems as personal fall protection. Zinc plated reusable connection hanger to mount with Non-reusable expansion anchor (product code SSAN008). This anchor connector is used with a non-reusable expansion anchor as part of a two-component post-drilled anchor. It is designed for solid concrete slabs to provide an anchorage point for single-user lanyards or fall arrestors, or in pairs to form anchorage at the end of running-lines (temporary horizontal lifeline) when used for work restraint.
This anchor device is designed to be used on horizontal, vertical and sloping surfaces and is suitable as a replacement for a Scissorsafe anchorage device when a cast-in void former has been omitted or cast unsuccessfully. This anchor is designed for personal fall protection and should only be used with or as part of a work restraint or fall arrest system. We strongly recommend that you load-test any friction anchor before attaching a personal safety system to it. For more advice please refer to product code SCSHYD for load-testing advice.
Product code SSAN009
Non-reusable expansion anchor
Post drilled expansion thread anchor for fall arrest and work restraint systems. This is a non-reusable expansion anchor thread which is used to fix the post drilled reusable connector (product code SSAN009). The connector provide an anchorage point for single-user lanyards or fall arrestors, or in pairs to form end anchor points at the end of running-lines (temporary horizontal lifelines) when used for in a temporary work restraint system. This fixing is inserted into a 12 mm diameter drilled hole in a concrete slab and when secured holds the post-drilled reusable connector.

Precast concrete walls and beams
Pre-casting concrete elements allows for inclusion of cast-in components to support the temporary edge protection system needed to erect the structure. If edge protection is needed in wall or beam elements, cast-in anchors can be inserted into the formwork. If the attachment point is on the side of the sections, our Vertical bracket (product code 912118) can be installed. If it’s on top of the sections our Post foot (product code 912105) can be used instead as a bracket for posts and steel mesh barriers.
Socket with Rebar 400 mm is an expendable socket that is embedded into slabs or beams with a minimum depth of 500 mm. The Post socket sits flush with the top of the concrete and it is supplied with a protective plastic cap to prevent concrete ingress.
If anchoring is to be avoided, Adjustable clamp 300 or 550 can be installed on site before the units are lifted into position.

Omnia floor slabs
Our Precast socket is designed to be casted into precast concrete slabs right at the concrete factory. This provide an easier, faster and safer mounting of temporary edge protection at the construction site.
An Omnia flooring slab is a reinforced precast concrete slab which incorporates a triangular lattice girder that is attached to a lower layer of reinforcement. The lattice girder is manufactured using high strength steel wire which binds with in-situ concrete which is poured onto it.
By casting a Precast socket (product code 911108) into the lower slab means that temporary edge protection can be installed onto the slab before it is lifted into position allowing rebar installation and concrete placing onto the slabs within a collectively protected work area.
Precast sockets are fixed to rebar before the lower portion concrete is cast. A cut length of Protective sleeve (product code 911107) is inserted onto the Precast socket, which forms a 50 mm diameter hole around the Post and allows extraction when temporary edge protection is no longer required.
The Precast socket has an integrated post lock. Post 1,3 m and Barrier 2,6 are installed either before or after the prefabricated element is lifted in place. The Barriers can easily be lifted to the desired height when casting. No tools are needed.

Freestanding edge protection
When installing prefabricated concrete slabs a movable edge protection is required for safe blockage for other construction personnel. For this the Ground support plate is used together with Socket base, Post 1,3 m and Barrier 2,6. The Barriers then work as effective and safe blockage while the installation of prefabricated concrete slabs is carried out by workers with personal fall protection equipment.

Precast concrete floor slabs
Pre-casting concrete elements allows for inclusion of cast-in components to support the temporary edge protection system needed to erect the structure. If edge protection is needed on top of the slab, anchor sockets can be cast to support a Post foot (product code 912105). For side of slab positioning cast-in anchors will support Vertical brackets (product code 912118).
Omnia slabs can be delivered with Precast socket (product code 911108) projecting from the top of the bottom concrete layer.
Socket with Rebar 400 mm is an expendable socket that is embedded into slabs or beams with a minimum depth of 500 mm.
If anchoring is to be avoided, Adjustable clamps 300 or 550 can be installed on site before the units are lifted into position.
In the brackets our Post 1,3 m is installed and thereafter Barrier 2,6. The Barrier can be raised in one simple operation on the post up to a height of 310 mm above the floor structure, without decreased safety. This creates conditions for joint grouting, casting and other common work tasks without any need of uninstalling the edge protection.

Brackets attached to the stairs
The Socket base can be used as attachment of temporary edge protection on concrete stairs. Precast stairs are commonly installed inside cores, lowered by crane from above with only small spaces between the side of the stairflight and the inner core walls. This determines that the temporary edge protection should be installed on top of the stairs, with inadequate space for an adjustable clamp. A Socket base (product code 912110) is then anchored to the top of the steps to accept a Post 1,3 and Adjustable link bars.

Adjustable clamps on stairs
Adjustable Clamp 550 (product code 912220) is used when drilled anchors is to be avoided. The clamp can be swivelled and turned around, and be installed in one simple operation without damaging the concrete surface. It is fitted with an integrated post lock to retain a standard Post 1,3 to which twin Adjustable link bars are easily attached for full protection. Adjustable link bars are offered in four telescopic lengths. The same components are used to protect landing areas.

Catch fans on slab edges
Catch fan for slabs is a complement to our temporary edge protection system. The fan is a collective safety measure that catch and contain falling objects where access is required in the immediate vicinity of a high rise structure. The fan can be installed without any need of cranes and this version is designed to be installed on concrete floor slabs edges.
Catch fans are designed to fit directly vertically or horizontally onto building frames or scaffolding structures using a range of accessories. They are for and six meters wide with a three meter overhang, and fixed directly to the top of the slab using reusable anchor bolts. The fans are compact, lightweight and transportable between work areas without the use of a crane.
Catch fans are installed up to six meters below the working area and they will catch and absorb the energy of falling object or debris, ensuring that they don’t bounce out of the net. They can also protect the public in, for example, city environments. A fine mesh layer is fixed to the net to catch smaller objects. Fallen objects are retrieved by simply folding the net to gain access. They can easily be moved and adapted throughout the construction project. Easy to fold to a vertical position in order not to interfere with cranes.
