Introduction
Combisafe International Ltd has developed new containment solutions to enhance edge protection and containment levels in construction. The absence of a European Standard for containment has led to the creation of the Combisafe Containment Standard, which complements the EN 13374 standard for temporary edge protection.
Combisafe Containment Standard
This standard defines containment, specifying containment zones, areas, and densities. It does not apply to scaffold side protection but covers applications and performance criteria for construction containment systems.
Containment Solutions
  • SMB with Soft Net Solutions: Combines EN13374 compliant edge protection with soft netting for additional containment.
  • Safety Net Solution: Utilizes a safety net with a specific mesh size for required containment density, attached remotely to the soffit.
  • Multi Mesh Barrier (MMB) Solution: Uses MMB components for containment, with a larger mesh size of 250mm, allowing for overlay materials if increased density is needed.
  • Steel Mesh Barrier (SMB) Solution: Employs existing SMB components with extensions and adapters for tailored containment solutions.
Installation Procedure
  1. Standard edge protection setup using safety posts and SMB components.
  2. Insert Safety Load Indicator and Compression Thread Post.
  3. Adjust post height to soffit and secure with Tension Wrench.
  4. Ensure compression with Safety Load Indicator.
Special Features
  • Reach Hook: Adjustable tool for safe installation of SMBs and nets without working at height.
  • Soft Net Design: Quick installation with end plugs preventing net sliding.
  • Net Tube Holder and Coupler: Secure attachment of nets to soffit, eliminating work at height.
Standard Products and Benefits
  • Utilizes standard Combisafe components with specially-designed accessories.
  • Allows for edge protection erection before soffit construction.
  • Compression solution eliminates need for pre-cast or drilling in soffit.
  • Safety Load Indicator ensures correct compression and easy inspection.
  • Ergonomically-designed tools for safer installation.
Wind Loads and Testing
Containment systems are tested for various configurations, including static and dynamic wind loads. Specific design loads are provided for different net and fencing configurations.
Conclusion
Combisafe Containment Solutions offer versatile and customizable options for construction safety, addressing the growing need for effective containment as building heights increase.

The Solutions – Registered Design and Patent Pending Containment Solutions The Steel Mesh Barrier (SMB) Containment Solution As building heights grow and construction programmes shorten, the risk of equipment, people, and materials falling, or being blown out of a partially complete building, increases. This has led to a rising demand for floor to soffit ‘containment‘ as part of the edge protection solution. Uses existing SMB components to cover the containment area. Post extensions, adapters, and specially sized SMB Holders are combined with existing products to provide a certain containment...

Standard Products COMBISAFE Containment Solutions are based on standard components within the Combisafe product range, together with specially-designed accessories. This makes it possible to combine edge protection solutions with Containment Solutions. The edge protection can be erected on the floor before the soffit is built. When a Containment Solution is needed, it can easily be added. More information about the existing range of Combisafe products and systems is available in the Combisafe Handbook. Net Tube Holder Soffit Grip, art.no 11027 This product is used with the Soft Net Solution....

If a system has a 2.4m c/c post spacing and height of 3.5m from floor to soffit, the windload for each post will be: For a completely covered system, Cp=0, the design load (including load factor) will be 15 kN (1500 kg) Wind loads For a net or fencing that is 50x50 with a 5mm cord, Cp=50, the design load (including load factor) will be 2.9 kN (290 kg) Testing The systems have been tested in many different configurations. Examples left above show static wind loads in nets, static wind loads on the Post, and dynamic tests. Containment Standard explains and emphasises all different variables within...
