(Construction Site Coordinator)
The Safety and Health Protection Coor-
dinator*
is appointed by the client,
must identify potential hazards dur-
ing the planning phase,
determines measures that provide
protection against risks,
creates a safety and health plan,
coordinates the protective measures
for the contractor and site personnel
so that they do not endanger each
other,
monitors compliance with the pro-
tective measures.
Competent person qualified to car-
ry out inspections
Due to the specialist knowledge gained
from professional training, work experi-
ence and recent professional activity,
the competent person qualified to car-
ry out inspections has a reliable under-
standing of safety-related issues and
can correctly carry out inspections. De-
pending on the complexity of the in-
spection to be undertaken, e.g. scope
of testing, type of testing or the use of
certain measuring devices, a range of
specialist knowledge is necessary.
Qualified personnel

Features
The RCS Climbing Protection Panel is a
standard application of the RCS Rail
Climbing System.
The Climbing Protection Panel RCS P is
a bracket-type framework construction
and has been designed as protection
scaffold according to DIN 4420. Wind
load assumptions are accepted in ac-
cordance with DIN 1055.
The Climbing Protection Panel basically
consists of 2 bracket structures which
are connected to each other by means
of working platforms and the enclo-
sure.
Two Climbing Rails RCS connected
with walers and struts form the bracket
structure. The platforms are realised
using planking and platform beams.
The enclosure is attached to the Climb-
ing Rails and consists of timbers and
cladding comprising wooden multi-lay-
er panels or trapezoidal metal sheets.
Alternatively, other components can be
used for the enclosure providing static
proof has been obtained.

Introduction
Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
In order to maintain the value and oper-
ational readiness over the long term,
clean the surface areas after every use.
The following points should help to
keep cleaning and maintenance costs
as low as possible.
For cleaning and maintenance of the
hydraulic system, observe the Instruc-
tions for Use for the RCS Climbing De-
vice and hydraulics.
Remove concrete residue with water
immediately after concreting; this
avoids any time-consuming and costly
cleaning operations.
Never clean powder-coated compo-
nents, e.g. elements and accessories,
with a steel brush or hard metal scrap-
er; this ensures that the powder-coat-
ing remains intact.
Mechanical components, e.g. spindles
or gear mechanisms, must be cleaned
of dirt or concrete residue before and
after use, and then greased with a suit-
able lubricant.
Provide suitable support for the com-
ponents during cleaning so that no un-
intentional change in their position is
possible.
Do not clean components suspended
on crane lifting gear.
Do not spray working platforms or ac-
cess ways with a concrete release
agent - slipping hazard!
Any repairs to PERI products are to be
carried out by qualified PERI personnel
only.

Safety Instructions
Cross-System
General
The contractor must ensure that the In-
structions for Assembly and Use sup-
plied by PERI are available at all times
and understood by the site personnel.
These Instructions for Assembly and
Use can be used as the basis for creat-
ing a risk assessment. The risk assess-
ment is compiled by the contractor.
However, these Instructions for As-
sembly and Use do not replace the risk
assessment!
Always take into consideration and
comply with the safety instructions and
permissible loads.
For the application and inspection of
PERI products, the current safety regu-
lations and guidelines valid in the re-
spective countries must be observed.
Materials and working areas are to be
inspected on a regular basis, especially
before each use and assembly, for:
signs of damage,
stability and
functionality.
Damaged components must be ex-
changed immediately on site and may
no longer be used.
Safety components are to be removed
only when they are no longer required.
Before and after exceptional occurrenc-
es that may have an adverse effect on
the safety of the formwork system, the
contractor must immediately
create another risk assessment, with
appropriate measures being carried
out based on the results to ensure
the stability of the formwork system,
arrange for an extraordinary inspec-
tion to be carried out by a competent
person qualified to do so. The aim of
this inspection is to identify and rec-
tify any damage in good time, in or-
der to guarantee the safe use of the
formwork system.
Exceptional occurrences can include:
accidents,
longer periods of non-use,
natural events, e.g. heavy rainfall,
icing, heavy snowfall, storms or
earthquakes.
Components provided by the contrac-
tor must conform to the characteristics
required in these Instructions for As-
sembly and Use, as well as all valid
construction guidelines and standards.
Unless otherwise indicated, this ap-
plies in particular to:
timber components: Strength Class
C24 for Solid Wood according to
EN338.
scaffold tubes: galvanised steel
tubes with minimum dimensions of
Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm according to EN
12811-1:2003 4.2.1.2.
scaffold tube couplings according to
EN 74.
Deviations from the standard configu-
ration are only permitted after a further
risk assessment has been carried out
by the contractor.
Appropriate measures for working and
operational safety, as well as stability,
are defined on the basis of this risk as-
sessment.
Corresponding proof of stability can be
provided by PERI on request if the risk
assessment and resulting measures to
be implemented are made available.

Safety Instructions
Assembly, modification and dis-
mantling work
Assembly, modification or dismantling
of climbing enclosures may only be
carried out by qualified persons under
the supervision of a competent person.
The qualified persons must have re-
ceived appropriate training for the work
to be carried out with regard to specific
risks and dangers.
On the basis of the risk assessment
and Instructions for Assembly and Use,
the contractor must create installation
instructions, in order to ensure safe as-
sembly, modification and dismantling
of the climbing enclosure.
The contractor must ensure that the
personal protective equipment required
for the assembly, modification or dis-
mantling of the climbing enclosure, e.g.
safety helmet,
safety shoes,
safety gloves,
safety glasses,
is available and used as intended.
If personal protective equipment
against falling (PPE) is required or spec-
ified in local regulations, the contractor
must determine appropriate attach-
ment points on the basis of the risk as-
sessment.
The contractor stipulates the PPE to be
used to prevent falling.
The contractor must
provide safe working areas for site
personnel which are to be reached
through the provision of safe access
ways. Areas of risk must be cor-
doned off and clearly marked.
ensure stability during all stages of
construction, in particular during as-
sembly, modification and dismantling
operations.
ensure and prove that all loads can
be safely transferred.
Utilisation
Every contractor who uses or allows
the climbing enclosure to be used, is
responsible for ensuring that the equip-
ment is in good condition.
If the climbing enclosure is used suc-
cessively or at the same time by sever-
al contractors, the health and safety co-
ordinator must point out any possible
mutual hazards, and all work must be
then coordinated.

Safety Instructions
If the maximum permissible wind
speed has been exceeded, tempera-
tures are outside the scope of applica-
tion or after any extraordinary event
has taken place such as a fire or earth-
quake, the functionality and load-bear-
ing capacity of all safety components
as well as the supporting structure are
to be checked.
Safety components:
Visual checks are to be carried out
by authorised personnel at regular
intervals.
Before any climbing or assembly, a
functionality check is carried out by
qualified personnel.
If parts need to be replaced, only
PERI original components may be
used.
Repairs are only allowed to be car-
ried out by PERI qualified personnel.
In the case of overloading or recur-
rent damage, stop work operations
on and under the platforms, deter-
mine the cause and rectify.
Supporting structure:
A visual inspection is to be carried
out by authorised personnel before
initial use.
Only PERI original components are
to be used for repairs or replace-
ment.
In the case of overloading or recur-
rent damage, stop work operations
on and under the platforms, deter-
mine the cause and rectify.
Other components:
Repairs are carried out by authorised
personnel and the contractor/site
management is to be informed.
Determine the cause of any damage
that occurs on a recurring basis and
rectify.
Persons are not allowed to remain un-
der suspended loads. If work under
suspended loads cannot be avoided,
determine and apply all appropriate
measures. Avoid entering the area be-
tween suspended loads and the build-
ing.
Site personnel are forbidden to remain
in areas below where assembly work is
being carried out unless the area of risk
has been provided with sufficient pro-
tection against falling, overturning, slid-
ing or rolling objects and masses. The
area of risk is to be cordoned off.
Maintenance and repairs
The system components are to be in-
spected before each use to ensure that
they are in perfect condition and func-
tion correctly. Only materials in perfect
condition are to be used.
The units are to be inspected for signs
of damage at regular intervals by au-
thorised personnel. Dirt which affects
the functionality is to be removed im-
mediately. Damaged components are
to be inspected, removed and re-
placed.
System-Specific
Assembly work
The contractor must ensure that the
user has the appropriate and sufficient
number of tools, lifting equipment and
slings, suitable and sufficient space for
assembly and storage, as well as ade-
quate crane capacity at his disposal.
There is always the possibility of un-
foreseen risks arising during assembly
work. The level of risk is to be estimat-
ed according to each individual case
and, if necessary, measures are to be
taken to avoid or at least to minimise
the risk.
If anti-fall protection cannot be used or
has to be removed due to operational
reasons, safety equipment must be in-
stalled in its place in order to prevent or
arrest falls from any height. If the use
of fall arrest equipment is deemed to
be inappropriate, personal protection
equipment (PPE) can be used if suita-
ble fixing points are available.
Use a guide rope to ensure that assem-
bly units suspended from the crane are
fully under control when being moved.

Safety Instructions
Access means
Safe access to all working areas must
be guaranteed at all times.
Preferred options are walkways, stairs,
stair towers or site lifts. Ladders are
only suitable for use as access means
in exceptional cases.
In the case of an emergency situation,
the working areas must have escape
routes in place or suitable rescue
equipment is available. It must also be
ensured that at least one emergency
escape route or piece of rescue equip-
ment can still be used if the power
supply fails.
The access areas on the construction
site must be free of obstacles and trip-
ping hazards, as well as being slip-re-
sistant.
Protection against falling objects
Avoid installing working areas and ac-
cess points in areas of risk. If this is not
possible due to work procedures, suita-
ble protection equipment must be
available. This also applies to work
requiring only a short period of time.
Tools and materials are to be secured
to prevent them from falling to the
ground. Concrete excess and other
forms of dirt are to be removed at reg-
ular intervals. The platforms are to be
kept clean at all times.
During operating conditions, working
areas at great heights are always to be
secured against falling objects through
the use of suitable construction meas-
ures.

Store and transport components ensur-
ing that no unintentional change in their
position is possible. Detach lifting ac-
cessories and slings from the lowered
components only if they are in a stable
position and no unintentional change is
possible.
Do not drop the components.
Use PERI lifting accessories and slings
and only those load-bearing points pro-
vided on the component.
During the moving procedure
ensure that components are picked
up and set down so that unintention-
al falling over, falling apart, sliding,
falling down or rolling is avoided.
no persons are allowed to remain
under the suspended load.
The access areas on the construction
site must be free of obstacles and
tripping hazards, as well as being
slip-resistant.
For transportation, the surface used
must have sufficient load-bearing
capacity.
Use original PERI storage and transport
systems, e.g. crate pallets, pallets or
stacking devices.
Storage and Transportation
Climbing procedure
The climbing enclosure cannot be
mounted for the next concreting step
until the required concrete strength has
been achieved.
As a result of the moving procedure,
unprotected leading edges are formed.
Such affected areas are to be cordoned
off and additional equipment must be
in place to secure those persons work-
ing at the falling edge, e.g. personal
protective equipment against falling
from a height (PPE)!
Site personnel, construction materials
or tools may not be transported with
the crane during moving operations.
Exceptions to this can be determined
through the operational working and
assembly instructions on the basis of a
corresponding risk assessment.
The climbing procedure must be
monitored by a competent and
qualified person.
During the climbing procedure, clamp-
ing and crushing hazards are present
that result from moving components.
Those persons carrying out the climb-
ing procedure must be fully informed
about all possible hazards.
All persons who are not required to
carry out the climbing procedure must
leave the area of risk.
When climbing with the hydraulic
climbing device, specifications regard-
ing the arrangement of the hydraulic
hoses are to be observed. If the stand-
ard arrangement is not possible, an au-
thorised person must determine a safe
and secure alternative.
In case of a malfunction, lower the
platform to the next possible position,
leave the climbing unit in a safe and
secure manner and notify an author-
ised person immediately!

A1 System Overview
Climbing enclosure
The climbing enclosure can be assem-
bled in 4 basic versions.
Version 1:
Minimum width with a narrow working
platform for one storey in advance.
Storey height (hB) = 2.80 - 4.50 m.
Version 2:
Several wide working platforms for one
storey in advance.
hB= 2.80 – 4.50 m.
Version 3:
Several wide working platforms for
two storeys in advance.
hB= 2.80 – 4.00 m.
Version 4:
Without working platforms, with
straight protection screen.
hB= 2.80 – 4.50 m.
In all versions, the Climbing Rails (2)
are supported by Slab Shoes (45)
which are mounted on pre-completed
floor slabs.
The enclosures, e.g. multi-layer
plywood sheets (18) or trapezoidal
metal sheeting (19), are mounted on
the Climbing Rails (2) using timbers
(14) and Timber Fixations (13).
Spacings between floor slabs and the
climbing enclosure are closed with
foldable covers (41).
During the climbing procedure, these
are folded up and secured in position.
Assembly of the climbing enclosure
varies depending on the storey height,
projection of the slab formwork and
type of anti-fall protection used.

Climbing Device and Hydraulics
This section provides basic information
about the Climbing Device and Hydraulic
Pump. Further information is provided
in the following sections, as well as in
the separate Instructions for Use for
the RCS Climbing Device and hydraulics.
Climbing Device RCS 50
The Climbing Device RCS 50 is used to
gradually climb the climbing enclosure.
After the climbing procedure is com-
pleted, the climbing enclosure must be
placed on the climbing pawls of the
Climbing Shoes ensuring that the load
is fully supported. The Climbing Device
must be load-free.
(Fig. A2.01 + A2.02)

To prevent the quick couplers from col-
liding with the platforms or other parts
of the climbing protection panel when
climbing, it is possible to arrange the
couplings vertically using angle pieces.
