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.

Collective edge protection for exclusion zones

Temporary edge protection systems have to be removed to install unitised facade systems to the external elevations of high-rise buildings. An important control measure on projects where external facade installation is to be undertaken from inside the building is the use of exclusion zones which allow only those permitted to be inside these exposed unprotected areas. It’s important that exclusion zones can be erected quickly using minimum components with relative portability for carrying through stair cores or on hoists. Using SafetyRespect steel mesh barrier’s as the visible and impassable zone boundary we offer two post types for support.

Compression post (product 919030) locks between floor and ceiling slabs removing the need for a separate base plate.

Freestanding base (product 912320) sits on the concrete floor supporting Post 1,3 m, at 2,4 metre maximum spacings.

This offers the benefit of less components, lightweight equipment and fast install, removal and re-installation which can materialise large time savings over long periods of re-cycling between floors.
