Formwork Edge Protection

Formwork edge protection systems help reduce the risk of falls and accidents around formwork decking areas during construction. They’re commonly used in projects such as high-rise buildings and substantial residential developments where formwork is essential for constructing concrete frames.

Temporary formwork edge protection creates a secure barrier around exposed deck edges as construction progresses. EWRG’s Rail Wall System fixes to formwork joists and bearers before steel fixing and concrete pours, helping maintain enclosed edge protection as the slab deck height is established.
