FASET is the trade association and
training body for the safety net rigging and fall arrest industry. A
member of the National Specialist Contractors Council (NSCC), it
represents all the leading manufacturers and suppliers in this specialist
sector – companies with proven knowledge and expertise.
A collective protection system, safety nets are
increasingly used to save lives and reduce injury on site by absorbing
energy from a falling body. As such they are subject to stringent
inspection and maintenance routines.
With a firm focus on safety and best practice, FASET’s
national network of approved and audited training centres provides the
only recognised training route for anyone wishing to install, inspect and
maintain safety nets, or obtain a FASET CSCS Safety Net Rigger Card – the
definitive proof of competence.
The FASET website provides a wealth of information and
guidance including access to the latest standards produced by the
association’s health, safety and technical committee. These include
industry standards for testing safety nets for UV degradation and for
repairing knotless nets following damage.
