Scissorsafe is a Fall Protection System for Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures which allows workers to safely access leading edges and perimeters by providing anchor points for Work Restraint (running-lines) and fall arrest systems for installing curtain-walling, unitised facades and balcony installation.
Scissorsafe Anchor points are cast into concrete slabs to avoid drilling using plastic Void Formers which are simply nailed to decking formwork, usually to a plan layout prepared by SafetyRespect.
When the formwork is removed, the anchorage points are exposed in the soffits.
A Scissorsafe Void Former is an expendable plastic cast-in component used to form anchorage points in concrete that allow the insertion of a Scissorsafe re-usable anchor device to connect personal fall protection systems to for Work Restraint or Fall Arrest .
Void former’s consist of two parts.
Nailing Disk. This is fixed to formwork decking usually nailed but can be screwed.
Tee -Mould, this forms Anchor shape into the concrete thats poured around it and is fixed by simply pushing it down onto the Nailing-disk.
Scissorsafe Anchors are unique because they mechanically open in concrete voids that are cast using Scissorsafe Void Formers acting as a simply supported anchor as opposed to an Anchor that relies on friction.
When inserted into a Void Former and opened they are locked by inserting an Oval Karabiner.
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 Lanyard. Fall Arrestor or Lifeline can be connected to them.
