Fall Protection Safety Net

Description

Perhaps you are wondering what fall safety nets are and we understand that better than anyone. Personnel safety netting is designed to deflect and absorb the energy of a fall, to prevent injuries. To make sure you can take the maximum out of fall protection solutions, there are fall protection safety net specifications. A construction safety net has to be as close under the surface on which employees are working, but never more than 30 feet below the surface. 

When employees are exposed to fall hazards while performing their job and no protection such as guard rails or nets is provided, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) enforces employers to setup a personal fall arrest system like a fall protection net for fall protection. NEN-EN 1263-1 applies to safety nets for use in construction and assembly work to protect from deeper fall and to ensure protection to workers against workplace hazards.

The installation of safety net systems is part of personnel safety in fall situations, such as debris containment nets, in order to high work areas to protect employees, nearby structures and pedestrians below. For personnel or containment of construction materials, or to arrest flying objects, safety net protection systems are reliable products for limiting the distance a person, piece of equipment or chunk of concrete falls or projects outward. This is one of the reasons why you should use a fall protection safety net for construction.

Examples of safety mesh netting uses are on scaffolding in a commercial work, on an industrial construction site, especially during new construction where the netting can cocoon, or guard- body of some sort, around perimeter of a building, on or under a bridge where risk of falling rocks exists, or around rooftops where protection against falling does not otherwise present. Such a system can also serve as a barrier for injury or damage to people and to just beyond the netting that are near the workplace. Do you use fall arrest safety nets on bridges? In this case the potential fall area must be unobstructed to work in a safe environment.
