Safety Nets - Frequently Asked Questions. 
 

1) What is a safety net? 

A safety net is a system designed to protect people from falling and injuring themselves while working at height. Safety nets are installed above head height to allow clear work space underneath.

2) Can I walk on the top plate without any fall protection? 

NO. At no time is any person to stand on or work from an external wall top plate without suitable fall protection.

3) Can ceiling battens be used as a method of fall protection?

NO. Ceiling battens do not provide any safe fall protection. Ceiling battens do not sustain the loads imposed by a person falling.

4) Can I walk/jump on the safety net? 

Absolutely Not! Safety nets are NOT to be used as access. Walking in the nets will result in the nets sagging. Sagging nets may result in a STOP WORK notice.

5) Who installs them? 

The nets are installed by our professional team.

6) How are the nets attached? 

They are attached to the structure by metal anchor points.

7) Should other trades/builders modify or remove or tamper with the safety nets? 

Absolutely Not! Our installers will remove/modify when required.
