Fall arrest safety netting

Consider other fall prevention measures first. The use of fall arrest safety netting must be justified by a risk assessment.

Safety net installation must be designed by a competent person in accordance with FASET and safety net rigging standards.

Net riggers must hold a Safety Net Riggers CSCS card, and inspectors must have a FASET net inspector qualification.

Safety nets must be inspected by a competent user before use, and every 7 days, after any impact or damage, or following adverse weather.

Rescue plans must be in place and practiced when safety nets are used.
