Some safety issues in construction of climbing formwork system in high - rise building construction in Vietnam

Abstract

The paper presents some safety issues in the construction of climbing formwork systems in high-rise building construction in Vietnam. High-rise buildings impose stringent safety requirements on the implementation of climbing formwork systems. A specific safety plan must be in place, including identifying and eliminating potential hazards, providing adequate personal protective equipment, and ensuring compliance with industry safety regulations and standards. Safety practices in Vietnam adhere to the national technical standard QCVN 18:2021/BXD on Safety in Construction and draw from international organizations such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States), CEN (European Committee for Standardization), and Japan's guidelines on construction safety regulations. These references provide specific guidance and international standards for the construction of climbing formwork systems.
