Scissorsafe fall arrest anchor

Scissorsafe is an anchorage system designed specifically to prevent falls from height during the construction of concrete structures. This personal fall protection anchor is unique because it deploys into concrete voids that are cast using Scissorsafe void formers (product code SSAN002).

A Cast-in anchor system incorporated into the design of the structure offers safety and economical benefits by removing the need to drill for anchor points or load-test friction reliant anchors before a safety system can be connected to them. Anchor points are a vital part of a personal fall protection system. they are the critical component that connect Lifelines, Lanyards, Fall Arrestors and Rescue Kits to the permanent structure.

Scissorsafe anchorage points are created by nailing a two part plastic mould insert onto the horizontal formwork which when removed reveals overhead anchorage points. Scissorsafe anchor tools have a unique mechanical action that opens within the concrete void and is locked by the karabiner on the connecting device.

Scissorsafe anchorage devices are economical as they are reusable throughout the project. Concrete drilling is eliminated reducing working at height, dust, noise and time. The system is certified to BS EN795 class B- portable anchorages, independently assessed under strict conditions to comply with the requirements of European Conformity.

Scissorsafe is a cast in system with reusable anchors, designed to prevent construction workers from falling from perimeters and edges. Plastic void formers are cast into the concrete simply by nailing them to the formwork. When the concrete has hardened and the formwork is removed, the anchorage points are exposed in the soffits.

Once installed, anyone working on the unprotected leading edge can use these anchorage points by inserting a Scissorsafe anchorage tool into them. Our product has an unique design that opens within the concrete void and is locked by the connecting device. They do not rely on friction and they are reusable wherever an anchor point has been cast.

The Scissorsafe system is used for fall restraint and fall arrest systems providing overhead anchorage for temporary horizontal lifelines (running-lines). Work positioning and fall arrest systems are widely used for installing curtain-walling, unitised facades and balcony installation.
