Construction sites are unavoidably dangerous places to work — but a large share of that danger is preventable with the right fall-arrest and debris-containment systems. In India, the relevant safety net standard is IS 11057, which specifies material strength, mesh size, and rated load capacity for safety netting used on building sites.
What IS 11057 Actually Covers
- Minimum breaking strength of the netting material
- Maximum permissible mesh aperture size
- Border rope and fixing point specifications
- Test methods for verifying net performance before deployment
A net that isn’t rated to this standard may look similar but can fail under real-world load — which defeats the entire purpose of installing one.
Two Jobs, One Net
Construction safety nets typically serve two functions simultaneously: catching falling debris (protecting workers and pedestrians below) and acting as a fall-arrest system for workers at height. Both uses demand certified materials and correct rigging — this is not a place to cut corners.
Why In-House Installation Crews Matter
Sub-contracted, inexperienced installation is one of the most common reasons safety nets under-perform on Indian sites. Our technicians are height-safety trained and handle every rigging job directly — no outsourcing — so the installation matches the same standard the material itself is rated for.
Planning A Project?
If you’re a builder, contractor, or site engineer in Visakhapatnam planning netting for a new project, we’ll assess your site, the number of floors, and your timeline, then provide a compliant, fixed-price quotation — usually within the same day as the site visit.
