Can safety nets on construction sites be used to hang fall arresters

High rise construction operations on construction sites usually use safety nets as protection. Safety nets are protective nets set under or on the side of high-altitude construction equipment during installation to prevent accidents caused by falling people or objects. The safety net consists of a net body, edge ropes, tie ropes, and reinforcement ropes.

However, having only one layer of safety net for protection during high-altitude operations is far from enough. In general, it is also necessary to pair it with an anti fall device. Therefore, a netizen inquired about whether the safety net can be used as a connecting and fixing point for the anti fall device? In some cases, safety nets can be used to hang fall arresters, but it is definitely for high-altitude operations below the safety net, as fall arresters must be hung high and used low.

The protective height of a safety net is limited. If the height of the worker is too high, the safety net can hardly provide any protection, and the huge impact force can still cause serious harm to the human body, even falling to the ground with the net. And the anti fall device will not fall for a long distance, and can complete self-locking in a very short time. The impact force generated is extremely low, which means it will not affect the safety net. Therefore, in general, the safety net can be used to suspend the anti fall device.
