Jump-form and slip-form systems deliver continuous concrete cores for high-rise buildings using hydraulically climbing or continuously rising formwork. This work triggers High Risk Construction Work under WHS Regulation 2011 r291 due to falls exceeding 2m, structural temporary works, and powered climbing mechanisms requiring a documented SWMS before commencement.

Hazards identified

3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.

Fall from climbing platform or working deckHIGH

Fatal fall from significant height

Structural failure of climbing brackets or anchorsHIGH

Collapse causing multiple fatalities

Hydraulic system failure during jump cycleHIGH

Uncontrolled platform movement, crush injuries

Control measures

Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination β†’ substitution β†’ isolation β†’ engineering β†’ administrative β†’ PPE.

  1. 1Engineer-certified climbing brackets, anchor cones and shotbolts inspected before each jump cycle by competent person.
  2. 2Perimeter edge protection, fully decked platforms and personal fall arrest systems compliant with AS/NZS 1891.
  3. 3Licensed hydraulic technician supervises jumps; exclusion zones enforced; load tests documented before each climb.

Applicable Codes of Practice

Code of Practice: Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplacesβš– Legally binding Β· 1 Jul 2026

Mandatory fall controls for elevated formwork platforms

AS 3610 Formwork for Concrete

Design, erection and stripping of formwork systems

High-Risk Construction Work triggered

1
Risk of a person falling more than 2 metres

Climbing platforms operate at heights well exceeding 2m on high-rise cores.

6
Work on or near pressurised gas distribution mains or piping

Hydraulic climbing rams operate under high pressure during jump cycles.

Legal consequence

SWMS mandatory before work starts; PCBU penalties up to $36,000.
