If you own a property and need work completed on the building or roof, or you have a construction project that you need to start, then it is important that you also factor in that you will need an appropriate safety net solution. Safety nets are used to ensure any construction work is carried out safely and to reduce risk to the construction workers, the general public and the building.
Costs of Not Using Safety Net Solutions
For anyone who is costing a project, finding ways to save money is part of the process. While there might be some areas where costs can be saved, safety netting is not one of them. Fall arrest netting is used to ensure if there is an accident, any person working at height will have their fall stopped by the netting.
Debris netting is put in place to ensure any debris that may fall during the construction work doesn’t damage people, traffic or other objects that are on the ground. Vertical netting is used to keep any masonry concrete, stone or pebbles that might fall from the building away from people or objects that it could damage.
If these nettings are not used, the cost could be catastrophic. Injury to workers or members of the public could potentially be life-threatening and any damage to objects, vehicles or other property could be financially very costly.
When weighing up the cost of safety netting versus the potential cost of serious injury and damage to property, it makes perfect sense to ensure a professional safety net solution is in place before any construction work starts.
Professional Safety Netting is a Must
Not only does safety netting make any construction, maintenance or repair project safer, but it also means the work will meet the necessary health and safety requirements. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require projects that include work completed at height to be safe. This includes ensuring that an appropriate safety net solution is in place.
Meeting these requirements involves having a professionally rigged safety net that complies with British and European standards.
