Rope Access Safety Netting

What is Safety Netting?

Safety netting is a fall protection system used to catch workers or debris during work at height. Installed below or around a work area, it provides a collective safety measure that prevents accidents and reduces the risk of serious injury.

The purpose is simple: if someone or something falls, the net is there to stop it. This makes netting a vital part of safe access and compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, which prioritise collective protection methods over individual fall arrest equipment.

Benefits of Safety Netting

Safety netting is one of the most effective ways to protect people and projects during work at height. It provides reassurance for everyone on site while helping keep programmes compliant and on schedule.

The main benefits are:

Peace of mind

Both contractors and duty holders know that safety has been prioritised throughout the project.

Fall protection

Nets act as a safeguard for operatives, significantly reducing the risk of injury if a fall occurs.

Protection from falling objects

Debris netting prevents tools, materials, or waste from striking people below.

Compliance with regulations

All installations are delivered and maintained to BS EN 1263-1 and BS EN 1263-2 standards, demonstrating clear duty of care.

Minimal disruption

Nets are quick to install, flexible in use, and allow work to continue safely overhead.

By combining these benefits, safety netting helps projects run smoothly while protecting both operatives and the public.

Types of Safety Netting

ADSS offers a range of safety netting solutions to meet different site conditions and requirements:

Fall arrest netting

Designed to catch workers safely, commonly used in construction and steel erection.

Debris netting

Prevents materials, tools, or waste from causing injury or damage below.

Edge protection netting

Installed along open edges or perimeters to secure work areas.

Every installation is planned around the environment and project scope, ensuring the right type of netting is in place for safe, efficient, and compliant operations.
