Pit Netting (oil pit)

Fall hazards are a major concern when an opening in the floor is not properly protected. According to OSHA fall protection regulations, such openings must be guarded or covered when not in use. Netting systems are a safe and effective solution that meet or exceed fall protection requirements.

Oil Pit Netting Systems are specifically designed in order to suit your existing service bays and provide a reliable solution with minimal impact on day-to-day operations. Our unique design allows for easy movement of the netting and requires minimal modifications to the existing automotive service pits (some welding of lugs is required to install the cables).
Don’t risk expensive fines for compliance violations. Our affordable and reliable system is the solution you need to keep employees and customers safe from potential falls.

Netting Safety and Regulations

Our netting panels are treated to meet NFPA 701 standards for fire-retardancy and have been tested and rated in accordance with ANSI A10.11 and OSHA safety standards. This includes the complete system with all of the hardware installed onto a racking system and tests made to simulate a real-case product falls.

To ensure compliance with regulations, we advise following safety net installation standards. This includes obtaining certification from qualified installers or engineers, conducting testing procedures, maintaining thorough records, and providing worker training.

A comprehensive fall protection plan must consider work nature, site or facility conditions, load capacity, and manufacturer specifications. Proper installation, maintenance, and regular inspection are critical for compliance and effectiveness.

Accumulated debris can compromise the functionality of safety nets and create hazards. Work operations should pause promptly to remove debris or any fallen objects to maintain optimal net performance.
