Design Criteria for Safety Nets in Building Construction
Among common human productive activities, the building industry has been and continues to be one of those generating most serious accidents. Within the industry, the nature of the construction processes of certain public works and buildings lead to the appearance of the risk of falls from considerable height for those working on them at certain stages. In too many cases this has led to the death or serious injury. As a result, certain countries have developed protection systems aimed at preventing falls (edge protection systems: railings) or intercepting them by limiting the scope of the fall and the consequences of serious or fatal impact (safety nets). The latter, in turn, can be sub-divided as follows: (1) horizontal safety nets (approximately), protecting gaps and directly attached either to the structure or by other means (cables, ropes, metal supports, etc.), and (2) vertical safety nets, either directly attached to the structure or by ropes and metal supports. The European vertical safety net system (gallow type) used on building facades is defined in the general European standard on safety nets EN 1263-1, EN 1263-2, which combines previous standards implanted by different member states.
