Man-Safe Netting (FASET-Compliant)

 

At Rope & Rig, we supply and install FASET-compliant man-safe safety netting systems to provide collective fall protection during work at height. Safety netting is a vital component of fall arrest strategy in construction, refurbishment, and maintenance projects—offering immediate, passive protection to workers operating above ground level.

 

Our qualified netting operatives are trained to FASET standards, ensuring all installations meet BS EN 1263-1 and 1263-2 requirements. We carry out thorough risk assessments and install systems that are tensioned, anchored, and maintained for maximum safety and durability.

 

Key Benefits:

 

Collective protection covering large work areas

 

Rapid installation and removal for project flexibility

 

Reduced fall distances to limit injury risk

 

Full compliance with UK health & safety legislation and FASET guidance

 

 

Whether for steel frame erection, roofing works, or internal void protection, Rope & Rig delivers professional safety netting solutions backed by industry-leading training and standards.

Rescue & Standby Services

We provide standby rescue services for confined space and high-risk activities where the safety of other contractors is paramount.

Services include:

 

  • On-site technical rescue team deployment

  • Confined space rescue for tank, vessel, and culvert entries

  • Rescue planning and simulations

  • Rescue from height and fall arrest scenarios

 

Our teams work alongside contractors to ensure that emergency responses are swift, controlled, and compliant with legislation.

Structural Inspections

Our rope access teams perform both general and detailed inspections of infrastructure, including:

 

  • Bridges: Steel, concrete, or suspension bridge inspections for cracks, corrosion, or fatigue.

  • High-rise buildings: Cladding, façade panels, anchor points, and curtain walls.

  • Industrial assets: Chimneys/stacks, silos, tanks, offshore platforms, wind turbine blades

 

Using high-resolution imaging and hands-on access, we provide comprehensive reports with photographic evidence and recommendations.
