Fromwork Edge Protection

Edge Protection for formwork edges

Formwork edge protection is the installation of edge protection products on the primary or secondary beams of formwork, thus protecting workers or objects from falling from heights during the concreting slab process.

The primary and secondary beams may be either the H20 timber beam or the aluminum beam. APAC has developed fixing components for both two beams to totally meet your different edge protection demands for formwork tasks.

We can customize any type of edge protection for formwork edges based on your project with detailed requirements.

Formwork edge protection solutions for you

APAC offers you two main solutions for formwork edge protection systems. And we provide you with free design services, drawings, and calculations for the edge protection system and also offer advanced 3D drawings. You can work with us to help you keep your work zone safe and secure.

EDGE PROTECTION FOR WOOD STRUCTURE

Designed to meet the required load criteria imparted on formwork decking system arrangements. APAC has engineered its clamps to fit all sizes of timber beam sections.

EDGE PROTECTION FOR aluminum STRUCTURE

Designed specifically for aluminum beams, the best features of this edge protection system are that it is lightweight and can be adapted to most aluminum beam sizes.

Beam-Clamp Compatibility

Our clamp range is engineered to fit common formwork beam dimensions and extrusion profiles, with practical positioning rules to reduce installation errors and rework.

  • Timber beam clamp for H20 beams: fits 40 mm and 60 mm beam widths

  • Adjustable aluminium beam clamp: fits 60–150 mm aluminium beam widths and multiple decking systems

  • Installation guidance: inspect beam webs/ends; clamp center ≥150 mm from beam end

  • Clamp positioning: follow recommended horizontal spacing and fix only on beams at right angles to the grid barrier direction

Applications

APAC edge protection systems are designed for temporary fall prevention wherever there is an exposed edge during concrete and formwork operations. Typical applications include slab perimeters and leading edges, openings such as lift shafts and stairwells, stair edges and landings, and temporary exclusion zones during pour, strip, and cycle works. With fixing routes suitable for timber formwork and aluminum formwork interfaces, the system helps crews create a clear, repeatable safety boundary that can be moved and reused as the structure progresses floor by floor.

Trending FAQ

Edge Protection System | The Ultimate FAQ Guide

An edge protection system is a temporary collective fall-prevention barrier used to protect workers and materials at exposed edges. It’s commonly installed on slab perimeters, leading edges, stairwells, lift shafts, and openings during concrete and structural works.

Start with the substrate and fixing route—that’s what determines stability. Timber/aluminium formwork typically uses beam clamps, while concrete edges often use cast-in sockets, clamps, or bolt-on fixes, and steel may use beam clamps or specialized brackets. If you share your edge detail and formwork type, we can recommend the most suitable route.

At minimum: total protected edge length, working height, structure type (timber/aluminium/concrete/steel), application (slab edge/opening/stair), and preferred panel height. With these inputs, we can issue a system takeoff (BOM) that’s easier to compare and reorder.

Both are available. Mesh barriers are often preferred when debris control and a clear visual boundary matter, while rail-only setups may suit simpler edges. The best choice depends on site risk level and your method statement.

Yes. Edge protection systems are designed for repeated install/reset as the structure progresses. Standardizing one configuration across floors usually improves speed, reduces training time, and minimizes installation mistakes.

Compliance depends on the system configuration and project conditions (height, slope, loading, fixing method). Many projects reference EN 13374 for temporary edge protection, and scaffolding-related requirements may reference standards such as EN 12810/EN 12811 or AS/NZS 1576 depending on region and scope. We can support documentation and configuration recommendations for your approval process.
