It's a well known fact that the construction industry is one of the most dangerous sectors to work in and the creation of safe working environments for site operatives is a priority for many. The use of edge protection systems has undoubtedly created safer conditions for those working at height but this is only part of the picture. Injuries to persons on the ground from falling debris are alarmingly high and in some cases these injuries relate to the public.
Whilst there are protection solutions that can be incorporated onto construction sites, such as temporary tunnels, they are often costly or restrictive. However leading provider of safety at height solutions Combisafe International has the answer - Safety Net Fans.
Safety Net Fans perform several functions during the building process, not only forming an effective fall-arrest system for the workforce, but also protecting pedestrians and workers from falling objects and debris.
Following the signing of the landmark Bilbao Declaration in 2004, leading representatives in Europe's €900 billion construction industry made a commitment to implementing specific measures to improve the sector's health and safety standards. In line with this legislation, Combisafe has long been committed to creating a safer workplace and the Safety Net Fan is an industry driven solution that has set a high benchmark within the global construction industry.
