Pit Netting (oil pit)

Unprotected floor openings pose a significant risk to worker safety, but netting can offer a simple solution to meet North American fall protection regulations while safeguarding your employees and customers. Open pits require fall protection under both provincial and federal regulations and while guardrails offer one solution, pit netting provides an effective alternative, ideal for areas like orchestra pits or other frequently accessed spaces where traditional guardrails are impractical.

Our Pit Netting Systems provide a safe and effective barrier that integrates with your existing service bays and floor openings, offering a reliable solution with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Our systems are easy-to-move when your pits are in use and straightforward to install with only minimal modifications (requiring some welding of lugs for cable installation). Why risk costly fines for compliance violations? Our affordable and dependable system is your answer to maintaining a secure environment and protecting against potential falls.

Netting Safety and Regulations in Canada

Our netting panels are treated to meet NFPA 701 standards for fire-retardancy and have been tested and rated in accordance with ANSI A10.11 and OSHA safety standards. This includes the complete system with all of the hardware installed onto a racking system and tests made to simulate a real-case product falls.

To ensure compliance with regulations, we advise following safety net installation standards. This includes obtaining certification from qualified installers or engineers, conducting testing procedures, maintaining thorough records, and providing worker training.

A comprehensive fall protection plan must consider work nature, site or facility conditions, load capacity, and manufacturer specifications. Proper installation, maintenance, and regular inspection are critical for compliance and effectiveness.

Accumulated debris can compromise the functionality of safety nets and create hazards. Work operations should pause promptly to remove debris or any fallen objects to maintain optimal net performance.
