Fall Safety Nets, Individually Made to Measure (by the m²)

Personnel safety nets act as indispensable lifesavers, especially on construction sites. However, they are not only used for scaffolding, but also as roof safety nets when erecting halls or as fall protection when working on overhead lines.

They are effectively used only when the fall of a person could not be prevented by preventive measures. In this sense, personal safety nets can also be called safety nets. The goal is clear: the person falling must be caught in such a way that he remains uninjured and without touching the ground.

A fall safety net, also known as a safety net, safety net or construction site netting, is a horizontally mounted net with an edge rope drawn into the edge meshes. These nets are used to catch people when working under hall roofs and in bridge construction, among others, when preventing them from falling is unavoidable. In contrast to rope anchors, the freedom of movement is fully maintained when using fall safety nets. They provide collective protection for all work and transport operations in the secured area. If persons fall into a safety net, they are caught more softly than in the case of other security systems like rope devices.

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.

A person is also considered competent if he or she has basic knowledge of legal regulations and occupational health and safety regulations of the accident insurance institutions, has sufficient practical work experience in the installation of safety nets, has knowledge of safety nets and their interaction with the supporting structure, has knowledge of possible hazards and their elimination (e.g. falling objects, lifting, carrying and transporting loads, hazardous working materials) and has knowledge of the plan for assembly, dismantling, use and erection.(e.g. falling, falling objects, lifting, carrying and transporting loads, hazardous substances) and has knowledge of the plan for assembly, modification and dismantling as well as the plan for use and the instructions for assembly and use for the respective safety net.

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 schutznetze24.de 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.
