Fall Safety Nets
Fall safety nets resemble the guardrail nets fastened to scaffolding. The difference lies in their function. Whereas guardrail nets directly protect people and materials from falling, in accordance with the German Employers’ Liability Insurance Association rules for working on scaffolding, fall safety nets or guard nets come into operation to protect someone when a fall from a height could not be prevented by any other means. The person falling is thus protected from a more serious fall and from injury.
The use of safety nets to protect people from falling from heights is mandatory in overhead line or hall construction, though the nets can of course also be used for other purposes – e.g. as a pond nets.

The Fall Safety Net – a Secure Protection Against Falling From a Height
The rules of the German Employers’ Liability Insurance Association for the Building Trade (Bau-BG) also specify the properties of the material. A fall safety net must have a certain energy absorption capacity to be able to safely catch people in an emergency. For this reason, the German Institute for Standardisation European Standards (DIN EN) 1263-1 specifying precise technical safety regulations and 1263-2 specifying instructions for installation must be observed in the case of the exceptionally tear proof fall safety net.
The fall safety nets that we offer fulfil these provisions and, when new, even exceed the required minimum energy absorption capacity. Thanks to this safety margin, our fall safety nets offer the greatest possible safety.
Fall Safety Nets Made to Measure
At our Safetynet365 shop, you can find a large selection of fall safety nets in different standard sizes. If you can’t find just the right net, we’ll produce a fall safety net that’s precisely made to measure. In the case of hard-wearing polypropylene fabric, you can choose from mesh sizes 45, 60 and 100 mm. The individually made catch nets thus provide optimal fall protection.

FAQ ‐ Frequently Asked Questions
- How Is A Fall Safety Net Mounted?
- Who Is Allowed To Install Safety Nets?
- What Standards Apply To Safety Nets?
Safety nets are mounted using suspension ropes, safety snap hooks, shackles or net thimble loops. If the net is suspended with a suspension rope, the breaking strength of the rope must be at least 30 kN for single-strand suspension and at least 15 kN for double-strand suspension. For other types of attachment than suspension ropes, a safety factor of 2 must be taken into account.
The correct installation of the fall safety net is the basis for the safety. In addition to the correct attachment, the safety net must provide a specific energy absorption. Particular importance must be attached here to the degree of deformation from various fall heights and the energy effects. We therefore recommend that you hire a specialist for the installation of the personnel safety net.
You can find more information on the applicable guidelines and standards on our info page Fall Safety Net Guidelines.
The installation of safety nets on the construction site must be managed by a professionally suitable supervisor and supervised by a competent person. The person in charge must ensure that the work is carried out in accordance with the regulations. A person who has successfully participated a training in accordance with DGUV Regulation 301-004 is considered a competent person.
The required material properties of safety nets are specified in the standards EN 1263-1 and the DGUV regulation 101-011. The safety nets offered by Safetynet365 meet the regulations, they even exceed them. The decisive factor is a sufficient energy absorption potential. Our safety nets exceed the legally required minimum energy absorption, so that you know yourself well shielded with a "safety cushion". According to the standards, the safety nets may have a maximum mesh size of 100 millimeters. At Safetynet365 you will find nets with a mesh size of 45, 60 and 100 millimeters, which have a high UV and weather resistance. Thus, the protective nets are protected from sunlight and rotting for years.
