Fall Arrest Netting in Bath
Magnetech Safety Net Systems UK is a specialist safety netting company providing high-quality fall arrest netting across Bristol, Bath, Taunton, and the wider South West. Our expert team supplies and installs compliant fall protection netting designed to reduce risk and protect workers in high-risk environments.
Safety Netting for Fall Prevention
Fall arrest netting is essential for construction and maintenance projects where work at height presents a significant safety challenge. Our systems are engineered to provide protection in a variety of applications, from residential roofing to large-scale commercial developments.
Steel Frame Construction & Erection
Steel frame buildings present unique challenges for fall safety, especially during erection and assembly. Magnetech provides bespoke fall arrest solutions tailored for steel frame construction projects in Bristol, Bath, and Taunton.
Our team installs fall arrest nets beneath roof lines, mezzanines, and elevated platforms to protect workers from accidental falls during steel placement and structural assembly. We collaborate closely with site managers to position netting to support safe workflows, including crane operations, steel welding, and high-level assembly.
All installations adhere to BS EN 1263-1 standards, and our riggers follow FASET guidance to ensure the nets function as intended. By using fall protection netting, steel frame projects can proceed confidently with safety integrated into every stage.
Roof Installation Safety
Fall arrest netting is vital for roofing works, including roof truss installation, routine maintenance, and repair activities. At Magnetech, we supply and install BS EN 1263-1 compliant fall arrest nets for domestic, commercial, and industrial roof projects across Bristol, Bath, and Taunton.
Our netting solutions safeguard roofers and maintenance crews from falls when installing timber trusses, laying roof coverings, or accessing fragile areas. For existing roofs, we provide temporary fall protection netting to allow safe maintenance without halting operations or exposing workers to unnecessary risk.
The nets are designed to absorb energy and minimise injury should a fall occur, and all installations are completed by NVQ Level 2 qualified, FASET- and CHAS-accredited riggers. This combination of compliance and expertise ensures roofing teams can work efficiently and safely.
General Construction & Structural Applications
Fall arrest netting plays a vital role in protecting workers across a wide range of construction environments. Magnetech Safety Net Systems UK provides tailored fall protection solutions for structural and general construction projects throughout Bristol, Bath, and Taunton.
Our fall arrest nets can be installed beneath elevated work areas and temporary openings to create a secure safety barrier against accidental falls. We adapt each installation to the unique dimensions and risks present on site. Typical applications include:
- Stairwell and mezzanine installations
- Floor slab replacements and temporary openings
- Roof repairs and partial roof replacements
- Internal structural works
- Multi-storey building construction
- Projects involving fragile or incomplete flooring systems
By integrating fall protection netting early in the construction process, contractors can protect workers, minimise project delays, and maintain compliance with health and safety legislation.
FAQs – Fall Arrest Netting
Safety nets are designed to catch falls safely when installed correctly. In the UK, nets are generally positioned so the lowest point is no more than six metres below the working surface, though special nets may be required for greater heights. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and risk assessments.
Nets should be visually checked daily for damage, inspected more thoroughly weekly or monthly, and undergo a full inspection by a competent person at least annually. Any net showing wear or damage must be removed from use immediately.
Nets should be positioned directly beneath the work area, extending beyond the edges to allow for swing or bounce. Anchor points must be secure, level, and free from sharp edges to ensure safe operation.
Anchor points should typically be no more than 2.5 to 3 metres apart horizontally, with spacing adjusted according to net type and manufacturer instructions to ensure proper tension and load distribution.
