Pit Netting (oil pit)
Fall hazards are a major concern when an opening in the floor is not properly protected. According to North American fall protection regulations, such openings must be guarded or covered when not in use. Netting systems are a safe and effective solution that meet or exceed fall protection requirements.
Oil Pit Netting Systems are specifically designed in order to suit your existing service bays and provide a reliable solution with minimal impact on day-to-day operations. Our unique design allows for easy movement of the netting and requires minimal modifications to the existing automotive service pits (some welding of lugs is required to install the cables).
Don’t risk expensive fines for compliance violations. Our affordable and reliable system is the solution you need to keep employees and customers safe from potential falls.
Falls from heights and same-level falls can happen anywhere, anytime.
Every year, falls result in a significant number of worker injuries and deaths, particularly in construction. Slips, trips and falls are also one of the leading causes of injuries that result in workers missing time at work. Preventing these injuries is a critical goal of every safe and healthy workplace.

Open pit netting
Open pits require fall protection under both provincial and federal working at heights legislation. These areas can be protected by guardrails or netting systems like the LFP pit netting system. These netting systems are used for floor openings such as orchestra pits or other frequently used areas where guardrails are impractical.

Most jurisdictions require the use of specific fall protection measures before, or in addition to, personal protective equipment (PPE). These measures generally include the use of some of the following:
- fixed barriers (e.g., handrails, guardrails) surface opening protection (e.g., covers, guardrails, etc.)
- warning barriers/control zones fall or travel restraint systems (i.e., a system to prevent a worker from falling from a work position, or from travelling to an unguarded edge from which the worker could fall)
- fall containment system (e.g., safety nets) fall arrest systems (i.e., a system that will stop a worker’s fall before the worker hits the surface below)
