1 Product Features
SAFESCREEN®isasuspended,self-climbingsystemthatoersaccessandfulledge
protection to a number of levels. It is designed to be used in line with the construction
of concrete slabs; however, it is independent of formwork and falsework equipment.
Theshutteringworkontallstructurescanbecarriedoutwithouttheneedofascaold
or crane and with reduced input of manpower and materials. The system provides a
safe working environment for the site personnel against adverse weather conditions
and falls from height and also provides protection to local services and public areas by
preventing loss of debris from site.
Typically, the system climbs vertically, following the newly constructed levels, and can
be used on inclined or irregular buildings.
The hydraulic climbing power pack ensures smooth climbing, irrespective of the
loading of the individual brackets.
SAFESCREEN® can be assembled on site or, where there are working area restrictions,
pre-assembled and delivered. Units are assembled together with re-usable bolted
modular components.
SAFESCREEN® units consist of two vertical frames and platforms for access, covered
with panels for protection. The unit is typically 1.0m wide and 4.6m long with folding
access platforms. The platforms provide access areas for comfortable concreting, rebar
installation,xingforcladding/balconybracketsandprotectionoffallingobjects.The
distance between Support Shoes and platform width depends mainly on the building’s
geometry and site conditions. The perforated panels and platforms can be then re-
adjusted without the need for disassembly. Additionally, units can be adjusted on the
structure to accommodate irregular structure shapes.
Principles:
• Wind protection;
• Edge fall protection;
• Prevention of dropping tools and materials;
• Simpliesedgesotdetails.
Sizes:
• Lengthupto5.0m;
• Heightupto15.0m;
• Non-standard,applicationspecic,alsoavailable.
Features:
• Adjustable cladding panels;
• Folding/extending platforms;
• Self-climbing;
• Simple to assemble and install;
• Adapted for standard transport;
• Used on reinforced concrete, post-tension and pre-cast slabs.

1.2 Method Statement Guidelines
HÜNNEBECK can provide further guidance and on-site assistance on any issues
contained in this document that are not clear.
Further information can be found in the product‘s data sheets. IF IN DOUBT, ASK.
• Design Risk Assessment
(refer to HÜNNEBECK Policy Statement for full details)
Specicdesignschemeswillbesitespecicandwillgenerallybetoarecognised
standard arrangement as indicated in HÜNNEBECK Technical Data Sheets, otherwise
calculations will verify.
The Design Risk Assessment is an integral part of HÜNNEBECK‘s design process.
The designer will assess the hazards and risks associated with the erection, use and
dismantling of the temporary work at an early stage in the design process. HÜNNEBECK
will communicate where risks to health and safety remain by including a “Residual Risk
Note“ on the drawing. The note will be clearly visible and marked by the familiar black
exclamation mark on a yellow triangle. The statement will be brief but clear to enable
reliable performance by a competent contractor.
HÜNNEBECK draws attentions to the following Health and Safety legislation:
• The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 (CHSW Regs);
• Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM Regs);
• Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER Regs);
• Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WaH Regs);
• Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHO Regs).

Work at height can be reduced / eliminated by considering the method of assembly and
use:
• Walkwaysthataredesignedtobere-usedreducetheamountoftimeandeort
dismantling and re-erecting;
• Walkways that can be pre-assembled on the ground and then raised by crane to a
vertical position will remove some work at height;
• Installing completed walkways when the walkway is on the ground, will remove work
at height associated with the constructing later on.
Preventing Falls - The use of guardrails and other collective measures
The use of PPE / Safety Harnesses
Lanyards MUST always be secured to a suitable part of the structure. Always consider
the attachment level and deployment (extension) of the lanyard when under load.

Thefunctionalinstructions(standardconguration)containedintheassembly
instructions are to be complied with as stated. Enhancements, derivations or changes
representariskandthereforerequireseparatevericationwiththehelpofarisk
assessment or a set of instructions which comply with the relevant laws, standards
and safety regulations. The same also applies in those cases where components are
provided by the Contractor.
• Availability of the Assembly Instructions
The Contractor has to ensure that the assembly instructions provided by the
manufacturer or formwork supplier are available at the place of use. Site personnel
are to be informed of this before assembly and use takes place and that they are
available at all times.
• Detailed Assembly
The method of erection / dismantling detailed is intended to be used as a general
guide to inform the user about the product’s details to enable safe use. It must
notbeusedasasubstituteforacontractor’sspecicriskassessmentandmethod
statement, and all relevant health and safety regulations must be adhered to. Due
tothevarietyofpossiblecongurationsoftemporaryworksystems,themethodof
