Safety netting for holes
It is crucial to provide special protection in areas where there is a risk of falling, such as window openings, doorways, stairways, or passageways, whether in buildings or public transport vehicles. To address these safety concerns, PROTEKT offers a comprehensive range of protection netting designed to meet the needs of various work environments.
Protection Netting for Stairs and More
The risk of falling is particularly high on construction sites or in renovated buildings, where it is essential to temporarily secure openings, such as stairways. Additionally, protection netting finds applications in vehicles such as buses, streetcars, subway cars, and trains, helping to prevent accidents during transit.
PROTEKT, as a manufacturer of safety equipment and systems, provides fall arrest safety netting in various sizes and densities, so that everyone can find a product tailored to their specific needs.
Features of Protection Netting by PROTEKT
Fall arrest safety netting for stairs and other openings must be both strong and durable. Therefore, the protection netting offered by PROTEKT is constructed from robust polyester, so that it can withstand the demands of high-risk environments. The brackets for mounting are made of plastic or ABS, providing reliable support and easy installation.
Additionally, our fall arrest safety netting is available in bright colours, which enhance visibility and effectively warn of potential dangers. This feature is particularly important in bustling environments where awareness is key to preventing accidents.
Protection Netting Installation, Testing, and Repair
To guarantee optimal safety, protection netting systems must be installed, maintained, modified, and removed by trained and competent personnel. Fall arrest safety netting should be positioned as close to the working level as possible to minimise the height of a fall, thereby increasing their effectiveness.
After installation, protection netting must be inspected by a competent person, and a handover certificate should be prepared to confirm their safety.
Regular testing and repair of fall arrest safety netting are crucial to guarantee they remain effective over time, allowing for swift identification of any wear or damage.
Choosing the Right Protection Netting
When selecting a protection netting, consider the specific requirements of your construction site, including the type of work being performed and the height of the work area.
It is vital to choose a fall arrest safety netting that meets relevant safety standards, such as BS EN 1263-1:2014. Assess the positioning limits of the protection netting, including the maximum permissible fall height and the distance of the fall, to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Always check that the installation, testing, and repair of the fall arrest safety netting are conducted by trained professionals.
Benefits of Implementing Fall Arrest Safety Netting
Implementing protection netting offers numerous benefits, including providing a collective form of fall arrest that significantly reduces the risk of injury or fatality resulting from falls.
Fall arrest safety netting can be used in conjunction with other fall protection measures, such as edge protection systems, creating a comprehensive safety net framework.
Moreover, using protection netting helps organisations meet safety requirements and regulations, such as the Work at Height Regulations 2005, which mandate proper fall protection systems for any work conducted at heights.
By effectively reducing the distance of a fall, fall arrest safety netting minimises the severity of injuries, making it an essential component of workplace safety strategies.
By choosing PROTEKT’s protection netting solutions, you are taking a crucial step toward creating a safer work environment for all involved. Our commitment to quality and compliance ensures that you receive products that enhance safety while meeting regulatory standards.
