Abstract (EN): There is no in situ concrete without formwork. The penetration of in situ concrete in construction is highly significant. The formwork is the main stage of its implementation. However, this activity combines high risks of falling from heights and of crushing, in the processes of assembling, use and disassembling of the formworks. Formwork projects are often designed considering its structural stability, but without providing the necessary safety conditions for its implementation. This article intends to present and justify rules of good practice, associated with maximization of the prefabrication in the ground. Such procedures must be always on the basis of the design of formwork projects. Was conclude that the outcome of this exercise will make equipment become more ergonomic, more effective, and hence, more secure.
