Safety Netting

Falls from height are the main hazard associated with the industry today. Operatives are exposed to leading edges, fragile roof sheets, skylights and partly fixed sheets from which they can fall.

Safety netting provides additional safety when working at heights and is the preferred solution by the HSE over the use of safety harnesses and running lines.

Safety netting is rigged below the steel work and offers workers increased freedom of movement whilst offering total protection within the netted area. It also provides freedom for other trades working below.

Safety Netting can be erected to Pre Cast / Metal Decking using specially designed clamps, thus allowing the beams to sit directly onto the steel work and not trapping any tie cords. The safety netting is rigged close to the underside of the roof attached to the structural steelwork.

Benefits of safety netting

  • Provides unhindered movement for workers
  • Better safety than traditional harness and line systems
  • Safety nets with debris overlay attached, also protect workers below from debris and falling materials
  • Safety netting can be fixed in almost all roofing and flooring situations
  • Our safety netting is installed by trained CSCS Safety Net Riggers
  • All nets are manufactured with EN 1263-1 and are safety checked before every project and also annually

Installing Safety Netting

Safety Netting installed by our trained CSCS Safety Net Riggers will allow unhindered movement for those working above whilst offering you peace of mind that they are working within a protected zone.

Safety nets, complete with debris overlay attached, will not only protect those working above from falls but will also protect those below from falling materials or equipment. This will also allow greater program flexibility for the main contractor.

Safety netting can be installed in almost all roofing & flooring situations to prevent injuries due to falls.

The nets can be suspended from the around the steelwork, underneath the steelwork using specially design clamps or over wallplates, utilising tested ‘wall hangers’ to protect the persons working above from falls.

Our safety netting is manufactured in accordance with EN 1263-1.Each net is subjected to a vigorous inspection by our trained warehouse staff prior to being allocated to a specific project & tested annually to ensure it meets the required standard.

All of our safety net erectors are trained to the CSCS Safety Net Riggers administrated scheme ‘FASET’ (Fall Arrest Safety Equipment Training) & hold ‘IPAF’ (International Powered Access Federation) licenses to operate mobile elevating work platforms.
