Fall Arrest System
A fall arrest system 10 for a building 11 under construction having frame members and an internal space within the building defined below the frame members, the fall arrest system comprising: a barrier comprising nettings, the barrier spanning the frame members; and anchoring elements for fixing the barrier in position, wherein the anchoring elements each comprise a body presenting a broad face for location against the barrier, the face being configured for gripping engagement with the barrier. The fall arrest system provides a safety barrier which can arrest the fall of a person or piece of equipment from a roof space within the building construction. In this way, the safety barrier prevents or at least retards the fall prior to the falling person or equipment hitting the floor below or any personnel working within the building construction. The building 11 comprises perimeter walls 13 and internal walls 15. The building construction 11 further includes ceiling joists 23. The fall arrest system 10 comprises a fall arrest barrier 30 positioned on the upper side of the ceiling joists 23 and resting on the ceiling joists. The barrier 30 is defined by barrier material configured as mesh netting. co co co Coi Co) m CCo CoY Nf
