Formwork Edge Protection

Formwork edge protection systems prevent falls and accidents around formwork decking areas during construction. They’re commonly employed in large-scale projects such as high-rise buildings, bridges and substantial residential developments where formwork is essential for constructing concrete frames.

Formwork edge protection systems are anchored directly to the formwork decking using guardrails and barriers. These systems are engineered for convenient installation and removal, employing clamps and brackets that securely fasten the protective barriers to the formwork structure.
