Safety netting is crucial in preventing objects from falling or rolling out of control. It helps reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and damage while promoting a culture of safety and responsibility within an organization. Safety netting has practical applications in storage, maintenance, and conveyance throughout a facility. When considering safety netting for storage applications, there are different options to choose from. For example, sliding rack safety nets prevent large or loose items from falling into flue spaces, protecting work areas and facilitating easy pick-and-pack operations. Pallet rack safety nets, on the other hand, have a burst strength of 2,400 lbs. and can be easily mounted and removed from existing racking without retrofitting.
When choosing safety netting for a conveyor system, it’s important to consider the type and load of the conveyor, its location and elevation, the size and weight of the items being conveyed, the desired mesh size and configuration, and whether the netting complies with OSHA regulations. Conveyor Guard Netting, like other types of netting, is designed to protect employees and products from falling items on overhead or suspended conveyors. The nets flex to stop falling items and meet OSHA standards. You can also opt for a custom-built netting system, available for belt, roller, and overhead conveyor applications. Materials used include high-tenacity polypropylene (HTPP) knotless netting and nylon netting. Installation methods include below-rack, accessible netting, and offset brackets. Quick Loops provide secure installation while allowing easy access to retrieve fallen products and maintain equipment. It’s essential to consult with a reputable supplier or manufacturer to determine the best safety netting solution for your specific application.
It is important to follow manufacturer instructions for proper installation and anchoring of safety nets to ensure they are properly secure. Provide employees with training on the use and maintenance of safety nets to ensure they understand their importance and proper usage. Once installed, it is crucial for continued safety to conduct regular inspections of your safety nets to ensure they remain intact and are free of damage.
