Flexible Protection for Every Project
For many projects, hiring safety netting is the most cost-effective way to provide collective fall protection - you get fully compliant, FASET-accredited fall arrest netting installed and inspected for the duration of the work, without the capital outlay of buying a system outright. Red Safety Netting offers short and long-term safety netting hire to BS EN 1263-1 for principal contractors and trades nationwide.
Our hire service is not just the net - it is the complete package. We supply compliant System S fall arrest nets, rig them with qualified Safety Net Riggers, inspect and hand them over, carry out the ongoing seven-day inspections, and de-rig at the end. You get a safe, signed-over system for exactly as long as the project needs it.
Hiring from an audited FASET member gives a principal contractor the same compliance evidence as any other competent appointment under CDM 2015 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005: qualified riggers, correct installation, valid test tags, and full inspection records throughout the hire. If a hired net arrests a fall it is taken out of service and inspected before further use, and replaced if necessary.
