Netting Solutions for High-Rise Building Safety
Introduction
At Crown Services, safety isn’t a slogan — it’s a fundamental commitment. In high-rise construction projects, where the stakes are high and the risks significant, the importance of robust safety systems cannot be overstated. Safety netting plays a crucial role in preventing accidents, protecting the public, and maintaining compliance with stringent industry standards.
As a company committed to excellence in construction safety, we provide comprehensive netting solutions that uphold the highest standards of quality and reliability.
What is High-Rise Safety Netting?
Safety netting in high-rise construction is a collective protection system designed to arrest falls and catch debris, ensuring the safety of workers and passers-by. Installed at various levels of a building, this netting provides a fail-safe solution to protect individuals operating at height, as well as pedestrians and property below.
Unlike personal protective equipment (PPE), which safeguards individual workers, safety netting offers collective coverage, meaning everyone within the vicinity benefits. It’s an essential layer of defence in modern construction where both fall protection and public safety are paramount.
Types of Safety Netting Used in High-Rise Construction
High-rise projects call for varied safety netting solutions depending on the nature of the work and environmental conditions. The three most commonly used types include:
1. Fall Arrest Netting
Fall arrest netting is made to catch a person if they fall from a high level. It’s usually placed horizontally under work areas, floors or steel frames. This netting slows the fall down by stretching when someone hits it. That way, it reduces the impact and helps stop serious injuries.
We use strong, knotless materials like high-tenacity polypropylene or nylon. These nets meet strict safety rules (BS EN 1263-1). They work well on open-frame buildings, roof jobs, and any site where workers are exposed to open edges. Because this netting protects everyone nearby, it’s a collective safety system, not just for those wearing harnesses.
2. Debris Netting
Debris netting stops loose items, like tools, bolts or small materials, from falling to the ground. It’s a thin, flexible mesh installed on scaffolding, floor edges, or along the outside of the building. While fall arrest nets protect people above, debris netting keeps people safe below the work zone. Our debris nets are lightweight but tough and made from UV-stable plastic. They come in different mesh sizes depending on the type of work. This netting is especially useful on busy streets or near public areas, where falling objects could cause serious harm or damage.
3. Vertical and Façade Netting
Vertical netting is placed on the outside of buildings. It helps catch small parts that might fall off during work — like bits of stone, render, or broken tiles. This kind of netting is used a lot during recladding, façade repair, or when old materials are being removed. Unlike fall arrest nets, façade netting doesn’t catch people. Instead, it acts as a barrier to stop building parts from falling and causing danger. We can also fit it around windows and vents so that it doesn’t block light or airflow. This type of netting works well on older or detailed buildings where loose parts can be a risk.
Materials and Specifications
We use premium materials tailored for durability and reliability. Most safety nets used on-site are made from knotless high-tenacity polypropylene, selected for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV degradation and harsh weather.
Specifications vary by application:
– Mesh size: Typically 45mm to 100mm
– Weight per square metre: From 200g/m² to 475g/m²
– Edge construction: Reinforced selvedge cords or Polysteel rope
– Custom features: Flame-retardant treatments, bespoke sizing, colour variations (red, blue, black, etc.)
These variations allow us to adapt netting to project-specific requirements, ensuring optimal safety and visual discretion.
Professional Safety Net Installation
At Crown Services, we understand that even the best netting is only effective when properly installed. Our technicians are trained under FASET (Fall Arrest Safety Equipment Training) and IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association), ensuring we meet the highest standards of competence and professionalism.
Our installation approaches include:
– Ground-level rigging using remote devices
– Rope Access installation for confined or hard-to-reach areas
– MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) for rapid and safe access to netting attachment points
– Bespoke rigging plans for unique architectural environments
Each installation is carried out following a comprehensive risk assessment and is signed off with a handover certificate to confirm compliance and operational readiness.
Inspection and Maintenance Protocols
Routine inspection and maintenance are non-negotiable for effective safety netting. At Crown Services, we provide structured maintenance plans to ensure every net performs flawlessly.
Key protocols include:
– Initial inspection post-installation, followed by a formal handover.
– Weekly inspections by competent personnel.
– UV degradation monitoring using embedded test patches (typically three per net).
– Immediate net replacement if a fall is arrested.
– Post-weather assessments after storms, high winds or snowfall.
By maintaining rigorous upkeep standards, we help our clients remain fully compliant with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and BS EN 1263-1 & 2 safety codes.
Industry Compliance and Certification
All our safety netting systems conform to BS EN 1263-1:2002 and BS EN 1263-2:2002 standards, which govern the manufacture, testing and installation of temporary safety equipment for working at height.
These standards stipulate requirements for:
– Energy absorption (Class A = 2.3kJ; Class B = 4.4kJ).
– Mesh and border rope strength.
– UV and flame resistance.
– Correct rigging techniques and deformation allowances.
We are proud to be FASET members, a mark of our commitment to safety best practices in the UK construction industry.
Applications in High-Rise Projects
Safety netting is used across construction sites for high-rise activities, including:
– New build tower developments.
– Recladding and envelope replacements.
– Façade refurbishment and restoration.
– Roofing installations and replacements.
– Steel frame assembly and maintenance.
In addition, our systems are deployed on railway infrastructure, commercial warehouses, and multi-storey industrial sites, ensuring consistent protection in dynamic environments.
Key Benefits of High-Rise Safety Netting
1. Worker Protection
Every construction site must account for the risk of falls, but in high-rise environments, the consequences are far greater. Safety netting provides a reliable way to reduce that risk by catching falls before they result in serious injury. This protection applies to the entire team, not just individuals using personal safety gear, creating a safer working environment across all levels of the build. By allowing workers to carry out tasks without being hindered by harnesses or fixed restraints, netting encourages more confident, natural movement, improving morale and reducing the chance of errors caused by restricted mobility.
2. Debris Containment
In a high-rise setting, dropped objects pose a constant threat to people and property below. Debris netting serves as a vital barrier that intercepts falling materials before they leave the structure. This containment function is particularly useful on façades and upper levels where routine work could otherwise send small but dangerous items into surrounding public areas.
This not only protects pedestrians and adjacent buildings but also maintains site cleanliness and reduces the need for additional ground-level safety barriers.
3. Legal Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Installing certified safety netting demonstrates that your business is taking proper steps to prevent avoidable harm. It supports full compliance with UK regulations and standards, including BS EN 1263 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. A compliant netting system reduces the likelihood of enforcement action, claims, or shutdowns, helping to shield your project from unexpected delays or reputational harm. Clients and principal contractors are increasingly expecting visible, certified safety infrastructure, making compliance a practical and commercial necessity.
4. Operational Flexibility
Unlike some fixed-edge systems that can get in the way or slow work down, safety netting is designed to integrate into the working environment without causing obstruction. Once installed, it typically requires minimal adjustment, meaning teams can carry on with their tasks uninterrupted. This flexibility allows for easier coordination between trades, fewer delays caused by repositioning fall protection systems, and smoother operation across multiple storeys. Whether you’re managing a steel frame build or a façade refurbishment, safety netting helps maintain progress without compromising safety.
5. Cost Effective
While initial installation involves planning and setup, the cost of safety netting is often outweighed by the savings it enables. Fewer injuries mean lower insurance premiums, fewer lost working days, and reduced risk of litigation. Avoiding even a single serious incident can justify the system many times over. Well-maintained nets can be redeployed across multiple sites, and our team ensures that every net is certified and safe before reuse, maximising the return on your investment and minimising waste.
Choosing the Right Netting System
Every building site is unique. That’s why our approach begins with a comprehensive site assessment. We consider:
– Building height and geometry.
– Environmental exposure (wind, sun, rain).
– Type of construction activity.
– Duration of works.
– Access limitations.
From there, we specify a solution that offers maximum protection with minimum disruption. Whether using horizontal fall arrest systems or façade-secured vertical nets, our bespoke designs are engineered for performance and peace of mind.

High-rise projects call for varied safety netting solutions depending on the nature of the work and environmental conditions. The three most commonly used types include:
1. Fall Arrest Netting
Fall arrest netting is made to catch a person if they fall from a high level. It’s usually placed horizontally under work areas, floors or steel frames. This netting slows the fall down by stretching when someone hits it. That way, it reduces the impact and helps stop serious injuries.
We use strong, knotless materials like high-tenacity polypropylene or nylon. These nets meet strict safety rules (BS EN 1263-1). They work well on open-frame buildings, roof jobs, and any site where workers are exposed to open edges. Because this netting protects everyone nearby, it’s a collective safety system, not just for those wearing harnesses.
2. Debris Netting
Debris netting stops loose items, like tools, bolts or small materials, from falling to the ground. It’s a thin, flexible mesh installed on scaffolding, floor edges, or along the outside of the building. While fall arrest nets protect people above, debris netting keeps people safe below the work zone. Our debris nets are lightweight but tough and made from UV-stable plastic. They come in different mesh sizes depending on the type of work. This netting is especially useful on busy streets or near public areas, where falling objects could cause serious harm or damage.
3. Vertical and Façade Netting
Vertical netting is placed on the outside of buildings. It helps catch small parts that might fall off during work — like bits of stone, render, or broken tiles. This kind of netting is used a lot during recladding, façade repair, or when old materials are being removed. Unlike fall arrest nets, façade netting doesn’t catch people. Instead, it acts as a barrier to stop building parts from falling and causing danger. We can also fit it around windows and vents so that it doesn’t block light or airflow. This type of netting works well on older or detailed buildings where loose parts can be a risk.

We are proud to be FASET members, a mark of our commitment to safety best practices in the UK construction industry.
Applications in High-Rise Projects
Safety netting is used across construction sites for high-rise activities, including:
– New build tower developments.
– Recladding and envelope replacements.
– Façade refurbishment and restoration.
– Roofing installations and replacements.
– Steel frame assembly and maintenance.
In addition, our systems are deployed on railway infrastructure, commercial warehouses, and multi-storey industrial sites, ensuring consistent protection in dynamic environments.
Key Benefits of High-Rise Safety Netting
1. Worker Protection
Every construction site must account for the risk of falls, but in high-rise environments, the consequences are far greater. Safety netting provides a reliable way to reduce that risk by catching falls before they result in serious injury. This protection applies to the entire team, not just individuals using personal safety gear, creating a safer working environment across all levels of the build. By allowing workers to carry out tasks without being hindered by harnesses or fixed restraints, netting encourages more confident, natural movement, improving morale and reducing the chance of errors caused by restricted mobility.
2. Debris Containment
In a high-rise setting, dropped objects pose a constant threat to people and property below. Debris netting serves as a vital barrier that intercepts falling materials before they leave the structure. This containment function is particularly useful on façades and upper levels where routine work could otherwise send small but dangerous items into surrounding public areas.
This not only protects pedestrians and adjacent buildings but also maintains site cleanliness and reduces the need for additional ground-level safety barriers.
3. Legal Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Installing certified safety netting demonstrates that your business is taking proper steps to prevent avoidable harm. It supports full compliance with UK regulations and standards, including BS EN 1263 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. A compliant netting system reduces the likelihood of enforcement action, claims, or shutdowns, helping to shield your project from unexpected delays or reputational harm. Clients and principal contractors are increasingly expecting visible, certified safety infrastructure, making compliance a practical and commercial necessity.
4. Operational Flexibility
Unlike some fixed-edge systems that can get in the way or slow work down, safety netting is designed to integrate into the working environment without causing obstruction. Once installed, it typically requires minimal adjustment, meaning teams can carry on with their tasks uninterrupted. This flexibility allows for easier coordination between trades, fewer delays caused by repositioning fall protection systems, and smoother operation across multiple storeys. Whether you’re managing a steel frame build or a façade refurbishment, safety netting helps maintain progress without compromising safety.
5. Cost Effective
While initial installation involves planning and setup, the cost of safety netting is often outweighed by the savings it enables. Fewer injuries mean lower insurance premiums, fewer lost working days, and reduced risk of litigation. Avoiding even a single serious incident can justify the system many times over. Well-maintained nets can be redeployed across multiple sites, and our team ensures that every net is certified and safe before reuse, maximising the return on your investment and minimising waste.
Choosing the Right Netting System
Every building site is unique. That’s why our approach begins with a comprehensive site assessment. We consider:
– Building height and geometry.
– Environmental exposure (wind, sun, rain).
– Type of construction activity.
– Duration of works.
– Access limitations.
From there, we specify a solution that offers maximum protection with minimum disruption. Whether using horizontal fall arrest systems or façade-secured vertical nets, our bespoke designs are engineered for performance and peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
What regulations govern safety netting in the UK?
Netting must comply with BS EN 1263-1 and BS EN 1263-2. Additionally, installations must follow the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Only FASET-certified installers are qualified to rig or de-rig nets.
Can safety nets be reused after a fall?
No. Once a net has absorbed the energy of a fall, it must be replaced. The integrity of the material cannot be guaranteed after deformation.
How often should safety nets be inspected?
At minimum, once per week — and additionally after extreme weather or any suspected damage. Pre-use checks are also critical at the start of each shift.
Is rope access safe for high-rise netting installation?
Yes — when performed by certified IRATA professionals. Rope access is among the safest, most efficient methods for working at height and is ideal for limited-access projects.

Fall arrest netting is made to catch a person if they fall from a high level. It’s usually placed horizontally under work areas, floors or steel frames. This netting slows the fall down by stretching when someone hits it. That way, it reduces the impact and helps stop serious injuries. We use strong, knotless materials like high-tenacity polypropylene or nylon. These nets meet strict safety rules (BS EN 1263-1). They work well on open-frame buildings, roof jobs, and any site where workers are exposed to open edges. Because this netting protects everyone nearby, it’s a collective safety system, not just for those wearing harnesses.
2. Debris Netting
Debris netting stops loose items, like tools, bolts or small materials, from falling to the ground. It’s a thin, flexible mesh installed on scaffolding, floor edges, or along the outside of the building. While fall arrest nets protect people above, debris netting keeps people safe below the work zone. Our debris nets are lightweight but tough and made from UV-stable plastic. They come in different mesh sizes depending on the type of work. This netting is especially useful on busy streets or near public areas, where falling objects could cause serious harm or damage.
3. Vertical and Façade Netting
Vertical netting is placed on the outside of buildings. It helps catch small parts that might fall off during work — like bits of stone, render, or broken tiles. This kind of netting is used a lot during recladding, façade repair, or when old materials are being removed. Unlike fall arrest nets, façade netting doesn’t catch people. Instead, it acts as a barrier to stop building parts from falling and causing danger. We can also fit it around windows and vents so that it doesn’t block light or airflow. This type of netting works well on older or detailed buildings where loose parts can be a risk.

Contact us today to find out how we can support your next high-rise project with fully compliant, expertly installed netting solutions. Let’s secure your site the right way — with safety you can trust and service you can count on.
We use premium materials tailored for durability and reliability. Most safety nets used on-site are made from knotless high-tenacity polypropylene, selected for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV degradation and harsh weather.
Specifications vary by application:
– Mesh size: Typically 45mm to 100mm
– Weight per square metre: From 200g/m² to 475g/m²
– Edge construction: Reinforced selvedge cords or Polysteel rope
– Custom features: Flame-retardant treatments, bespoke sizing, colour variations (red, blue, black, etc.)
These variations allow us to adapt netting to project-specific requirements, ensuring optimal safety and visual discretion.
Professional Safety Net Installation
At Crown Services, we understand that even the best netting is only effective when properly installed. Our technicians are trained under FASET (Fall Arrest Safety Equipment Training) and IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association), ensuring we meet the highest standards of competence and professionalism.
Our installation approaches include:
– Ground-level rigging using remote devices
– Rope Access installation for confined or hard-to-reach areas
– MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) for rapid and safe access to netting attachment points
– Bespoke rigging plans for unique architectural environments
Each installation is carried out following a comprehensive risk assessment and is signed off with a handover certificate to confirm compliance and operational readiness.
Inspection and Maintenance Protocols
Routine inspection and maintenance are non-negotiable for effective safety netting. At Crown Services, we provide structured maintenance plans to ensure every net performs flawlessly.
Key protocols include:
– Initial inspection post-installation, followed by a formal handover.
– Weekly inspections by competent personnel.
– UV degradation monitoring using embedded test patches (typically three per net).
– Immediate net replacement if a fall is arrested.
– Post-weather assessments after storms, high winds or snowfall.
By maintaining rigorous upkeep standards, we help our clients remain fully compliant with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and BS EN 1263-1 & 2 safety codes.
Industry Compliance and Certification
All our safety netting systems conform to BS EN 1263-1:2002 and BS EN 1263-2:2002 standards, which govern the manufacture, testing and installation of temporary safety equipment for working at height.
These standards stipulate requirements for:
– Energy absorption (Class A = 2.3kJ; Class B = 4.4kJ).
– Mesh and border rope strength.
– UV and flame resistance.
– Correct rigging techniques and deformation allowances.
We are proud to be FASET members, a mark of our commitment to safety best practices in the UK construction industry.
Applications in High-Rise Projects
Safety netting is used across construction sites for high-rise activities, including:
– New build tower developments.
– Recladding and envelope replacements.
– Façade refurbishment and restoration.
– Roofing installations and replacements.
– Steel frame assembly and maintenance.
In addition, our systems are deployed on railway infrastructure, commercial warehouses, and multi-storey industrial sites, ensuring consistent protection in dynamic environments.
Key Benefits of High-Rise Safety Netting
1. Worker Protection
Every construction site must account for the risk of falls, but in high-rise environments, the consequences are far greater. Safety netting provides a reliable way to reduce that risk by catching falls before they result in serious injury. This protection applies to the entire team, not just individuals using personal safety gear, creating a safer working environment across all levels of the build. By allowing workers to carry out tasks without being hindered by harnesses or fixed restraints, netting encourages more confident, natural movement, improving morale and reducing the chance of errors caused by restricted mobility.
2. Debris Containment
In a high-rise setting, dropped objects pose a constant threat to people and property below. Debris netting serves as a vital barrier that intercepts falling materials before they leave the structure. This containment function is particularly useful on façades and upper levels where routine work could otherwise send small but dangerous items into surrounding public areas.
This not only protects pedestrians and adjacent buildings but also maintains site cleanliness and reduces the need for additional ground-level safety barriers.
3. Legal Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Installing certified safety netting demonstrates that your business is taking proper steps to prevent avoidable harm. It supports full compliance with UK regulations and standards, including BS EN 1263 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. A compliant netting system reduces the likelihood of enforcement action, claims, or shutdowns, helping to shield your project from unexpected delays or reputational harm. Clients and principal contractors are increasingly expecting visible, certified safety infrastructure, making compliance a practical and commercial necessity.
4. Operational Flexibility
Unlike some fixed-edge systems that can get in the way or slow work down, safety netting is designed to integrate into the working environment without causing obstruction. Once installed, it typically requires minimal adjustment, meaning teams can carry on with their tasks uninterrupted. This flexibility allows for easier coordination between trades, fewer delays caused by repositioning fall protection systems, and smoother operation across multiple storeys. Whether you’re managing a steel frame build or a façade refurbishment, safety netting helps maintain progress without compromising safety.
5. Cost Effective
While initial installation involves planning and setup, the cost of safety netting is often outweighed by the savings it enables. Fewer injuries mean lower insurance premiums, fewer lost working days, and reduced risk of litigation. Avoiding even a single serious incident can justify the system many times over. Well-maintained nets can be redeployed across multiple sites, and our team ensures that every net is certified and safe before reuse, maximising the return on your investment and minimising waste.
Choosing the Right Netting System
Every building site is unique. That’s why our approach begins with a comprehensive site assessment. We consider:
– Building height and geometry.
– Environmental exposure (wind, sun, rain).
– Type of construction activity.
– Duration of works.
– Access limitations.
From there, we specify a solution that offers maximum protection with minimum disruption. Whether using horizontal fall arrest systems or façade-secured vertical nets, our bespoke designs are engineered for performance and peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
What regulations govern safety netting in the UK?
Netting must comply with BS EN 1263-1 and BS EN 1263-2. Additionally, installations must follow the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Only FASET-certified installers are qualified to rig or de-rig nets.
Can safety nets be reused after a fall?
No. Once a net has absorbed the energy of a fall, it must be replaced. The integrity of the material cannot be guaranteed after deformation.
How often should safety nets be inspected?
At minimum, once per week — and additionally after extreme weather or any suspected damage. Pre-use checks are also critical at the start of each shift.
Is rope access safe for high-rise netting installation?
Yes — when performed by certified IRATA professionals. Rope access is among the safest, most efficient methods for working at height and is ideal for limited-access projects.

Clients and principal contractors are increasingly expecting visible, certified safety infrastructure, making compliance a practical and commercial necessity.
4. Operational Flexibility
Unlike some fixed-edge systems that can get in the way or slow work down, safety netting is designed to integrate into the working environment without causing obstruction. Once installed, it typically requires minimal adjustment, meaning teams can carry on with their tasks uninterrupted. This flexibility allows for easier coordination between trades, fewer delays caused by repositioning fall protection systems, and smoother operation across multiple storeys. Whether you’re managing a steel frame build or a façade refurbishment, safety netting helps maintain progress without compromising safety.
5. Cost Effective
While initial installation involves planning and setup, the cost of safety netting is often outweighed by the savings it enables. Fewer injuries mean lower insurance premiums, fewer lost working days, and reduced risk of litigation. Avoiding even a single serious incident can justify the system many times over. Well-maintained nets can be redeployed across multiple sites, and our team ensures that every net is certified and safe before reuse, maximising the return on your investment and minimising waste.
Choosing the Right Netting System
Every building site is unique. That’s why our approach begins with a comprehensive site assessment. We consider:
– Building height and geometry.
– Environmental exposure (wind, sun, rain).
– Type of construction activity.
– Duration of works.
– Access limitations.
From there, we specify a solution that offers maximum protection with minimum disruption. Whether using horizontal fall arrest systems or façade-secured vertical nets, our bespoke designs are engineered for performance and peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
What regulations govern safety netting in the UK?
Netting must comply with BS EN 1263-1 and BS EN 1263-2. Additionally, installations must follow the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Only FASET-certified installers are qualified to rig or de-rig nets.
Can safety nets be reused after a fall?
No. Once a net has absorbed the energy of a fall, it must be replaced. The integrity of the material cannot be guaranteed after deformation.
How often should safety nets be inspected?
At minimum, once per week — and additionally after extreme weather or any suspected damage. Pre-use checks are also critical at the start of each shift.
Is rope access safe for high-rise netting installation?
Yes — when performed by certified IRATA professionals. Rope access is among the safest, most efficient methods for working at height and is ideal for limited-access projects.

Every construction site must account for the risk of falls, but in high-rise environments, the consequences are far greater. Safety netting provides a reliable way to reduce that risk by catching falls before they result in serious injury. This protection applies to the entire team, not just individuals using personal safety gear, creating a safer working environment across all levels of the build. By allowing workers to carry out tasks without being hindered by harnesses or fixed restraints, netting encourages more confident, natural movement, improving morale and reducing the chance of errors caused by restricted mobility.
2. Debris Containment
In a high-rise setting, dropped objects pose a constant threat to people and property below. Debris netting serves as a vital barrier that intercepts falling materials before they leave the structure. This containment function is particularly useful on façades and upper levels where routine work could otherwise send small but dangerous items into surrounding public areas.
This not only protects pedestrians and adjacent buildings but also maintains site cleanliness and reduces the need for additional ground-level safety barriers.
3. Legal Compliance and Risk Mitigation
Installing certified safety netting demonstrates that your business is taking proper steps to prevent avoidable harm. It supports full compliance with UK regulations and standards, including BS EN 1263 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005. A compliant netting system reduces the likelihood of enforcement action, claims, or shutdowns, helping to shield your project from unexpected delays or reputational harm.
