The Secure Platform for Your Workforce

Safety decking provides a stable, fully boarded working platform with built-in fall protection - a continuous safe surface to work from, and a barrier that limits the fall distance for anyone working above it. Red Safety Netting supplies and installs modular safety decking nationwide for principal contractors and main contractors.

What safety decking does

Safety decking is a modular system of lightweight platforms assembled to create a continuous, load-bearing working surface, typically at first-floor or mid-level during new build and refurbishment. It serves two purposes at once: a safe, level platform for trades to work from, and short fall-distance protection that catches a person or materials before they reach the floor below. It is widely used in residential new build for tasks such as setting roof trusses, joisting and internal works at height.

Why choose Red Safety Netting

• Stable, continuous working platform. Our modular decking creates a fully boarded surface that reduces the risk of trips, slips and falls during work at height.
• Short fall distance. Installed close beneath the work area, decking limits how far a person or material can fall - a key advantage in low-headroom residential work.
• Fast and adaptable. The modular system installs and strikes quickly, adapts to varied layouts and openings, and keeps the programme moving with minimal downtime.
• Installed by competent operatives. Our teams install decking correctly and safely, coordinated with the build programme and the other trades on site.

Our safety decking service

• Site assessment - we survey the layout and design the decking arrangement around openings, stairs and the build programme.
• Supply and installation - modular decking installed by competent operatives to a stable, continuous level.
• Adaptation - decking adjusted as the build progresses and access needs change.
• Strike and removal - efficient removal once the work at height is complete.

Applications

• Residential new build - truss setting, joisting and internal work at height
• Refurbishment and conversion projects
• Internal works requiring a safe mid-level platform
• Low-headroom situations where a short fall distance matters
• Projects needing a fast, adaptable working platform

Decking, netting or both?

Safety decking and fall arrest netting solve overlapping but different problems. Decking gives a continuous working platform with a short fall distance and is ideal for internal residential work; fall arrest netting is the collective solution for catching falls over larger open areas such as roofs and steel frames. As a specialist across the full range of fall protection, we will recommend decking, netting, or a combination, based on the work and the structure.
