Safety netting
October 1st 2004 A new safety netting solution has been introduced by Combisafe International Europe to meet the requirements of different roof designs and sizes and in response to the publication of a European Performance Standard for temporary edge protection.
The European Standard sets specific technical performance criteria for all temporary edge protection systems, irrespective of height, span or the material from which they are made.
The new Net Barrier System is said to satisfy all such criteria. It is a flexible edge protection solution and, when combined with the internal safety netting, provides a standard-fulfiling cocoon within which the roofer can operate in safety.
It spans up to 10m between supports to accommodate the large bay sizes common in modern warehouse construction, and covers overhangs of more than 1.5m, combining the fall arrest needs of the overhang with the edge protection provision.
Roofers can no longer access the roof as they wish, but must use the access points built into the Net Barrier System for both men and materials.
The system is designed to accommodate the wind loading rquirements within the new standard EN 13374. More articles from Combisafe International Limited: |
