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 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.
Meet All Of Your Formwork Edge Protection Needs
APAC formwork edge protection proprietary beam clamps are available that lock onto the upper or lower surfaces of aluminium or proprietary timber formwork beams to provide a socket or other means of clamping a vertical handrail post.
These formwork edge protection clamps can be pre-fixed onto the formwork beams during the initial formwork erection procedure and can remain in place during formwork or table movement thus providing a handrail facility at all stages of the formwork use.
APAC Edge Protection Systems Catalog APAC’s formwork edge protection strictly conform to EN 13374 , we can give you the best results based on our quality. More systems can be discovered in our latest catalog.

The formwork edge protection clamps must be fitted in accordance with the APAC’s instructions at centers that are adequate to sustain the forces exerted onto the posts, via mesh barriers or handrails, due to wind and handrail loading.
APAC will provide pdf documents, installation video or online guidance.
We are a factory direct edge protection systems manufacturer and supplier in china. We have automatic production line and we have a quality control team to make sure that the production process meets standards and the product meets quality.

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.
Edge Protection System | The Ultimate FAQ Guide
1. What Is An Edge Protection System Used For?
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.
2. How Do I Choose The Right Edge Protection For My Structure (Timber, Aluminium, Concrete, Steel)?
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.
3. What Information Do You Need To Quote And Produce A BOM?
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.
4. Do You Supply Mesh Barriers Or Guardrail-Only Systems?
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.
5. Can The System Be Reused Across Floor Cycles?
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.
6. What Standards Can Edge Protection Systems Comply With?
Depending on market and configuration, systems can be designed and tested around recognized temporary edge protection requirements such as EN 13374, with project-specific documentation available for review.
