Self-Retracting Device
Leading Edge Fall Protection

This new self-retracting lifeline, called Leading Edge SRL, is designed specifically to protect personnel when working at or near leading edges during construction activities such as decking and precast concrete work. The fall protection device features 55 ft of oversized ⁷/₃₂-in. dia cable that is 35% stronger than cable lifelines on standard SRL’s, according to the manufacturer. It also contains a built-in external energy absorber to help reduce arresting forces on the worker and minimize damage to the cable from edge wear and abrasion.

Formwork
A Complete Unit

Dokaset wall formwork is a complete framed formwork system that comes with access ladders and pouring platforms and safety railings even across the front of the formwork. The system is delivered to the site as a complete, collapsed unit and can be readied for operation in a few steps, the manufacturer says. Due to the novel railing system, Dokaset ensures safety in every phase of constructing an insitu concrete wall, positioning the first half of the formwork or closing the formwork. Because the system uses long-life Xlife sheet and only needs one through-tie, less finishing work needs to be done. doka Die Schalungstechniker; +43 0 7472 605-2505; www.doka.com
