worker from injury due to falling hazard. In addition, the users should seek the opinions of the safety net manufacturers, so that the best net which suits the type of work to be conducted under the prevailing conditions can be chosen. Although BS or EN is quoted in

this guidance notes, equivalent national or international standards can also be used.
