Benefits of Safety System

What are the benefits or advantages in using Safety Nets as fall arrest system when working at heights?

Importantly, safety nets utilise energy absorption as the fundamental principle governing their design and performance. In the majority of situations, safety nets have distinct advantages over other forms of fall arrest. As the Australian Standards and WHS - Act 2011 acknowledges and approves of the British standards, the standards regard nets as their "preferred method of fall arrest when working at height"

When one of the Tallest Residential Tower in the World (Q-1 Gold Coast, QLD) wanted to Build their Skypoint Climb they turn to Roof Industrial Safe ( www.rissafety.com) and Safety Nets Australia for Safety Nets Supplies.

Fall hazards inside a building

There are also fall hazards on the inside of the building during construction work.

Measures must be taken for:

• Potential falls between roof trusses;
• Construction of high strutting formwork;
• Large voids and penetrations;
• Between roof purlins, steel construction and bondeck formwork.
• Through brittle roofs, skylights and any roof floor openings.

Safety nets can fill these gaps.
