Safety netting and mansafe lines from Absolute Netting

Absolute Netting is our in house safety netting division, offering a nationwide safety netting installation service for roofing and construction work. Nets are manufactured to BS EN 1263-1, tested and repaired to the manufacturer guidelines, and installed by our own FASET trained riggers. We also design and install mansafe fall arrest lines to the current regulations.

What is included

Every safety netting installation, specified and guaranteed

Safety netting installation

Nets are rigged to the underside of the roof area and stay in place for the duration of the roofing works, giving collective fall protection to everyone on the roof. We use a range of fixing techniques and purpose designed clamps to suit the structure.

FASET trained riggers

Every net is installed by riggers trained and accredited by FASET, the Fall Arrest Safety Equipment Training body. Nets are inspected, tested and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer guidelines and tagged accordingly.

Mansafe fall arrest lines

Permanent horizontal lifeline systems anchored to the roof structure, giving safe access for maintenance for the life of the building. We design the layout to the roof shape and your access requirements and provide the drawings and the certification.

Nationwide, for our own work and yours

Absolute Netting works on our own roofing projects and directly for other contractors and clients, from either office, anywhere in the UK.

Questions

Asked and answered

Do you provide safety netting for other contractors?

Yes. Absolute Netting installs safety netting for roofing, cladding and steelwork contractors as well as for our own projects, nationwide.

What standard are the nets made and installed to?

Nets are manufactured to BS EN 1263-1 and installed to BS EN 1263-2 by FASET trained riggers. Each net carries a test tag and is inspected before use.

Do you design mansafe systems?

Yes. We provide a full design of the line layout, which varies with the roof shape and how the roof needs to be accessed, and we liaise with you throughout. Installation is certified and the system is handed over with drawings and inspection records.

How often does a mansafe line need inspecting?

Annually, by a competent person, and the inspection is required to keep the system in service. We provide the inspection and recertification service on the systems we install.

Can you net a fragile roof for a gutter or rooflight job?

Yes. That is one of the most common uses: nets under a fragile asbestos cement or single skin roof so that gutter lining, rooflight replacement or overcladding can be carried out safely from above.
