Many of today’s multi-story buildings are built using “?ying forms” to construct the concrete ?oors of the structure. These forms typically consist of a series of trusses which support a forming deck. Once a ?oor is poured the truss supports are lowered from the pour, pulled from the building, and ?own, using a crane, to the top of the building to repeat the process for the next ?oor. While the workers are placing the forming deck they are exposed to falls of greater than 6 ft. (1.8m). It becomes very dif?cult to protect the workers using standard fall protection equipment as no structure exists above the workers to provide an anchorage for tie-off. The new Flying Form Netting System from Capital Safety acts as a passive fall protection system that can be attached to the form support trusses. Installed at the ?rst level, the netting stays in place and is ?own with the trusses for the duration of the project. Job site ef?ciency is improved because the system does not need to be reinstalled at each ?oor and workers can start placing forming deck immediately after the forms are positioned. Multiple Flying Form Netting Systems can be joined together with the included Snap Hooks to ensure maximum jobsite ?exibility.
