Safety Netting Systems
Magnetech Safety Net Systems UK is an established safety netting company providing professionally installed safety netting systems for projects across Bristol, Bath, and Taunton. Our work supports safe operations on construction sites, industrial premises, and commercial developments where working at height presents a significant risk.
A Complete Range of Safety Net Systems
Our safety net systems are designed to provide collective fall protection across a wide range of applications. Unlike individual PPE, safety netting protects multiple operatives at once and reduces the severity of injuries should a fall occur. We design and install safety netting to suit the structure, working height, and sequence of works, ensuring reliable protection throughout each phase of a project.
Magnetech supplies safety nets for commercial, industrial, and construction environments, adapting each installation to the structural layout and access requirements of the site. This approach allows us to deliver effective safety netting systems that integrate smoothly with modern construction methods.
All safety netting systems are installed by trained operatives working to BS EN 1263-1 standards, with the team holding recognised industry accreditations including FASET registration and NVQ qualifications. By installing correctly designed safety nets, we help create safer working environments that support productivity and compliance.
Types of Safety Netting Systems
Commercial Safety Netting
Commercial projects often involve large floor plates, open atriums, and live environments. Safety netting systems installed in offices, warehouses, schools, and public buildings help protect operatives during construction work. These safety nets provide unobtrusive protection below work areas without disrupting operations beneath.
Fall Arrest Safety Nets
Fall arrest applications form a core part of our work. Safety net systems installed beneath work areas are designed to absorb fall energy and limit injury risk if an operative falls. Fall arrest safety netting is widely used during steel frame erection and high-level installations where edge protection alone is insufficient.
New Build Safety Netting
For residential and commercial developments, safety netting systems are commonly installed early in the construction programme. New build safety nets protect operatives during floor installation and structural erection, creating safer conditions as the building takes shape.
Safety Netting for Metal Decking
Metal decking presents a high-risk phase of construction, particularly during installation before concrete is poured. Safety netting systems installed beneath metal decking provide essential protection against falls through open decks and between steel beams.
Our safety net systems are fitted prior to deck installation, allowing operatives to work confidently at height while maintaining open access for materials and plant. Once the decking and concrete are complete, the safety nets can be removed or adapted for subsequent phases, making them a practical solution for multi-stage builds across Bristol, Bath, and Taunton.
Responsible Reuse and Recycling of Safety Nets
Where safety netting reaches the end of its service life for construction use, Magnetech Safety Net Systems UK takes a responsible approach to reuse and recycling. We regularly rehome old safety nets to charities and organisations where they can continue to serve a purpose outside of fall protection.
This includes donating netting to donkey sanctuaries, zoos, animal welfare centres, and outdoor activity providers such as zip wire and adventure course operators, including companies similar to Go Ape. By repurposing safety netting, we reduce waste and support organisations that benefit from durable netting for containment, enrichment, or safety applications.
FAQs – Safety Netting Systems
Safety netting systems are not mandatory in all cases, but the Work at Height Regulations 2005 require employers to prevent falls where possible and reduce the consequences where risks remain. On sites involving steelwork or metal decking, safety nets are commonly used as part of a compliant fall protection strategy.
Safety nets should be positioned as close as practicable beneath the working area and extend beyond edges and openings. Correct placement reduces fall distance and impact forces, making installation planning critical to performance.
Safety nets should be visually checked before use, with regular recorded inspections and a detailed examination by a competent person at least once a year. Any net showing damage or deterioration must be removed from service immediately.
Safety net systems sit within the hierarchy of control and do not automatically replace edge protection or other collective measures. They are often used alongside additional systems following a site-specific risk assessment.
