Safety posts are intended to be mounted to horizontal wales of wall formworks by using purposefully designed brackets. Brackets were designed and tested for each suported formwork type (depending on manufacturer).
When instalalled, formwork post can be used as anchor point by itself (to use with e.g. SRLs), or as a post for different type of horizontal lifeline. It provides continuity of support during work or moving along formwork walls.
Neck in a body of safety post provides energy absortion when fall occurs. Deformation of these necks dissipate force to prevent formwork damage.
During development we perfomed tests on formworks with load cells to ensure that using safety posts won’t cause any problems with formwork structure including deformations of any of their elements.
As a result of low weight of safety posts it is possible to mount them before forming a standing structure from formwork segments. It eliminates need of working at height just to install safety posts.
