A study by OSHA indicates that more than 100,000 workers are injured at construction sites. Lack of safety at these sites is the leading cause of worker fatalities in the construction industry.

A safe and healthy workplace not only protects workers from injury and illness but can also lower injury/illness costs, reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, and raise employee morale. In other words, safety is good for business which in turn brings us to the need for safety netting systems.

Netting systems are mainly used for construction projects as they allow the maintenance teams to walk on the nets or catch falling debris from high-rise construction projects. With a netting system in place, one is assured of the safety of their workers working at the sites.
These netting systems can be used in under-decks of bridges, offshore, derricks, cranes, helidecks and many other locations.

While choosing Netting Systems, it is important to weigh the various benefits that companies have to offer. At WEB Systems™ International, primarily, the transportation and storage costs are lower. ...
... These nets are cost-effective, easier to transport and require a minimum storage space on-site. Furthermore, the load weight is lower, which allows them to be installed on structures that do not have a high load capacity. The installation and dismantling of these nets are easy and safe as they are installed by rope access experts as rope access is statistically safer for working at greater heights. Lastly, these are engineered for customization. At the end of the day the better the efficiency of the installation, the lower the labour cost would be.

A netting system is one of the safest ways to ensure the safety of both the workers and equipment. Different types of work positioning solutions are available to the contractors to ensure which of the netting systems would be more suitable for their sites.

Web Net™ is a tensioned walk-on netting system that allows the workers to carry out work safely from heights.
