This British Standard provides recommendations on the safe use, installation and effective maintenance of safety nets on construction sites and other works where there is a risk of fall. It is intended for use by designers, engineers, safety net installers, end users and authorities having jurisdiction, for example the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
It is applicable to safety nets that conform to BSEN1263‑1:2014 and that are installed within the positioning limits given in BSEN1263‑2:2014. However, as these standards give specific minimum size limits, this British Standard also gives guidance on how to assess the reliability of safety nets outside these limits.
NOTE Advice is given in Annex A.
This British Standard covers safety net systems “S”, “T” and “U” as given in BSEN1263‑2:2014, Clause5,Clause6 and Clause 7 respectively. It does not cover system “V” (Clause 8).
This British Standard does not cover tensioned access platform nets, which are intended for persons to stand on either for access, egress or work.
