Scaffold Netting protects both employees working on the construction project, along with people working around the project. And also, the scaffold netting protects the construction materials from falling to hurt passersby.

Extra Layer of Fall Protection

For the employees working on the construction project, scaffold netting protects the workers by adding an extra layer of fall protection. When normal scaffolding is set up, there are guardrails and toe rails that act as barriers to protect the employees from falling. However, using scaffold netting ensures full coverage rather than just protection where the rails are located.

Providing Shade

The scaffold netting can also protect the employees by providing shade. The amount of shade varies depending on the density of the scaffold netting. A density of approximately 60 g/m2 will provide a shading rate of approximately 25%, and when the density is increased to 215 g/m2, the shading rate can increase to approximately 60%.

This shade can protect workers when working in hot or sunny conditions.

From The Elements

Similar to the shading rate, the scaffold netting can also protect employees from the elements. In particular, the netting will reduce the wind. Shielding from the wind can significantly help workers who work outside in the colder months. This can not only protect the employees but will make it easier to perform their tasks.

Along with protecting the workers, it can also protect the people working or walking around the structure. The scaffold netting provides protection against any debris that may accidentally fall from the scaffolding. This could include tools or building materials.

Passersby

Scaffold netting can also protect passersby and the nearby surroundings during dust-intensive work, such as sandblasting. During sandblasting and other high dust-tasks, the sand is retained inside the netting and does not pollute the surrounding area.
