Void Protection
Temporary fall protection for internal voids and floor openings during construction — commonly used for stairwell voids and other openings where workers could be exposed to a fall to the level below.
What is Void Protection?
Void protection is temporary fall protection for internal voids and floor openings during construction. It is commonly used for stairwell voids and other floor openings where workers could otherwise be exposed to a fall to the level below. The system provides a physical barrier around the opening, allowing construction work to continue in the surrounding area while the void remains protected.
- Provides a physical barrier around internal voids and floor openings
- Commonly used for stairwell voids during construction
- Allows construction work to continue in the surrounding area
- Suitable for residential, townhouse, and commercial builds
- Installed and removed to suit your construction program
- Addresses fall risk to the level below at open floor penetrations
Our Approach
Opening Identification
We identify all voids and floor openings on site that require protection and plan the most practical barrier layout for each.
Barrier Installation
A physical barrier is installed around each opening, providing fall protection for workers in the surrounding area.
Stairwell Void Coverage
Stairwell voids are a common application — we install protection around the stairwell opening so workers can operate in the area without exposure to the fall risk below.
Other Floor Openings
We can also protect other floor penetrations and openings that present a fall risk during the construction phase.
Adjustments as Required
If the opening configuration changes during construction, we can adjust the protection system accordingly.
Removal on Completion
Once permanent structures such as stair balustrades or floor coverings are in place, we return to remove the temporary protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of openings does void protection cover?
Void protection is most commonly used for stairwell voids, but it can also be applied to other floor openings and penetrations where workers could be exposed to a fall to the level below.
When should void protection be installed?
Void protection should be installed as soon as a floor opening is created and workers begin operating in the surrounding area. It should remain in place until permanent protection such as stair balustrades or floor coverings is installed.
Can you install void protection alongside other systems?
Yes. Void protection is often installed alongside perimeter edge protection and other fall protection systems on the same site. We can coordinate all systems to suit your construction program.
