Netting Safety and Regulations
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if space is an issue? Will the netting fit between racks?
We have different lengths of offset brackets to allow our system to fit in the tightest of spaces.
What if I need coverage above my existing rack frame?
We offer rack extensions that incorporate our offset bracket so that you can add height to your rack frames and protect your highest pallets.
Is there an advantage to netting over wire mesh?
Our netting is designed to catch any fallen product or pallet without any damage to your racking. Wire mesh is typically connected directly to your racks and doesn’t have flexibility. Over time, as equipment or products hit against the wire, it can get damaged and even put extra strain on your racking.
Is this something I could install on my own?
Yes, all of our systems include a user manual, custom drawing, and detailed installation instructions. If needed, we offer installation services.
What if I need protection on the side of my rack, or underneath the bays?
We offer complete rack netting systems to protect the back and sides of your rack, as well as horizontal netting to protect tunnel bays or pic modules.
When would I need netting on my racks?
Netting is used anytime a fall hazard may exist. It is used along walkways and isles to protect workers, but is often used in the flu space to protect the product itself from falling and being damaged.
What do I need to provide to get a quote?
Get in touch with our sales reps, and they can provide you with a Quote Request Form that is easy to fill out. The form asks for information such as the width of your bays, the height of your rack frames, and the weight of the pallets you are looking to protect.
Can the netting be customized to fit specific rack dimensions?
Yes, our netting systems are highly customizable to fit your specific rack dimensions and configurations. We offer tailored solutions to ensure optimal fit and protection.
What material is the netting made of, and is it durable?
Our netting is typically made of high-strength polyethylene or nylon material, ensuring durability and longevity. It’s designed to withstand impact and provide reliable fall protection.
Is the netting compliant with safety regulations and standards?
Yes, our netting systems are designed and tested to meet or exceed relevant safety regulations and standards, such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requirements.
How does the installation process work?
Our netting systems come with comprehensive installation instructions and support. We also offer installation services if needed, ensuring a hassle-free setup process.
What maintenance is required for the netting system?
Our netting systems require minimal maintenance. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the netting and its attachments.
