Scissorsafe personal fall protection

Scissorsafe work restraint system

Scissorsafe personal fall protection

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.

VT Catch fan 6m

Our Catch fans provide reliable protection against falling objects during the construction period and catch workers who have accidents. Made up of just a few components, the Catch fan not only protects construction site personnel, but also the public, depending on the situation and application.

Due to the 3 m cantilever, the Catch fan in front of the building creates an appropriate protection zone against falling objects, such as materials, tools or construction debris. In addition, it is intended to cushion falls of injured construction site personnel and to enable rescue.

Due to its application possibilities, the Catch Fan can be adapted to a wide variety of construction situations. It can also be used in confined spaces without any problems, as the Catch Fan can
be folded up towards the façade and be secured, e.g. to allow material transport near the ceiling edge.

The safety net has a mesh size of 60×60 mm. The standard scope of delivery of the Catch Fan also includes a fine-mesh net with a mesh size of 20×20 mm. It is firmly connected to the safety net to protect against falling small objects. On customer request, the net structure can additionally be provided with a third layer of a 2×3 mm dust protection net.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Once a year, the Catch Fans in use must be inspected. The main focus here is on the material safety of the net structures. For this purpose, one of the test threads attached to the Catch Fan net must be sent to Vivatec or to an accredited testing institute. The regular safety checks on the construction site and the checks after load impacts remain unaffected by this requirement.

deadweight man anchor for personal fall protection during construction of buildings, houses, bridges etc

Deadweight man anchor

deadweight man anchor for personal fall protection during construction of buildings, houses, bridges etc

Site ready deadweight man anchor is a pre-assembled portable anchorage device for work restraint for locations where anchorage cannot be arranged using drilled or clamped anchor devices.

Deadweight man anchors are generally used on non-penetrative surfaces i.e., industrial roofs, but are also useful for installing temporary edge protection on bridges and infrastructure projects. They are equally effective when used as a single user anchor device or when used at each end of a temporary horizontal lifeline where two simultaneous users can operate in work restraint.

This deadweight man anchor is supplied with a rubber friction mat and lifting sling. It can be delivered pre-assembled, just lift into position and clip-on. Alternatively it can be delivered in component parts for site assembly.

• Tested and CE Approved to EN795:2012 Type E.
• Suitable for 2 users in fall restraint or 1 in fall arrest.
• Usable on areas of a maximum 5° pitch.

Adjustable clamp 550 for temporary edge protection on concrete wall at construction site UK

Precast concrete walls and beams

Adjustable clamp 550 for temporary edge protection on concrete wall at construction site UK

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.

SafetyRespect offer technical support and will provide detailed information to your specific criteria.

Exclusion zones with Compression posts

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.
