Redes Dropsafe

Dropsafe Nets are the premier choice for dropped object prevention because they are a fully engineered secondary retention system designed for a precision fit. Unlike generic nets, which can fit poorly and increase the risk of failure under shock loads, Dropsafe Nets come in over 100 sizes to securely enclose specific fixtures without impeding their function. In addition, Dropsafe Nets include fixture-specific features such as nets with flange plates that ensure CCTV camera lenses are not blocked after installation. 

Dropsafe nets are also independently tested and certified to withstand more than 5 times the Safe Working Load (SWL). By eliminating the need for unreliable on-site modifications or tools, this rigorous engineering ensures your dropped object prevention strategy is both compliant and effective, protecting your people and equipment from the severe consequences of dropped objects. 

A precise fit is critical for successful dropped object prevention. Dropsafe Nets are available in over 100 standard sizes to cover any fixtures ranging from floodlights and speakers to CCTV cameras and junction boxes. Each net features built-in installation toggles that allow the nets to be a snug fit around fixtures. We also provide custom designs at no additional cost to ensure there are no gaps in your dropped object prevention strategy.

The Trisafe™ Carabiner is a significant advancement in dropped object prevention technology. Traditional screw-lock carabiners rely on the operator to manually lock the gate, introducing a risk of human error if the lock is improperly engaged. Our patented Trisafe™ design features a triple-action mechanism that automatically locks upon closing and prevents accidental opening. This innovation allows for easy, single-handed operation, even while wearing gloves and guarantees that the net is always securely fastened, significantly increasing the reliability of your dropped object prevention strategy.

To support modern asset management within your dropped object prevention strategy, every Dropsafe Net comes equipped with a Choke Plate featuring a built-in RFID chip. This feature provides a distinct advantage by digitizing your safety inspections. This level of traceability makes it hassle-free to meet compliance standards for your dropped object prevention program, keeping your facility safety records audit-ready at all times, and ensures your facility maintains a robust, audit-ready safety record.

Reliability in harsh environments is non-negotiable. We construct our nets and components from 100% high-quality SUS/AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel. This material offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 500°C (-40°F to 932°F). This premium material ensures that Dropsafe Nets perform flawlessly in your dropped object prevention strategy, even in the most demanding offshore conditions without degrading over time.

Dropsafe Nets are designed to make dropped object prevention both safe and operationally efficient. The intuitive design of the Trisafe™ Carabiner allows personnel to install the system quickly without needing hot works or specialized tools. This efficiency reduces operational downtime and limits the exposure of site crew to dropped object risks, delivering both safety and productivity benefits. Thanks to the high-quality stainless steel used, the Nets also require no maintenance throughout the duration of their service life, further reducing maintenance costs.

While cutting nets from bulk rolls may seem like a cheaper alternative, it introduces significant safety risks and operational hidden costs compared to purpose-built dropped object prevention solutions like Dropsafe Nets. 

Why DIY nets are not best practice for dropped object prevention: 

• No SWL Rating or Certification: DIY nets cut on-site cannot be tested or certified for a Safe Working Load (SWL). There is no guarantee that the net will hold the specific weight of the fixture. Dropsafe Nets are independently tested and certified to 5x their SWL.  
• Safety Hazards During Installation: Cutting wire rolls on-site leaves sharp, exposed ends that can snag clothing or cause laceration injuries to installation crews. It also requires the use of cutting tools at height, introducing new dropped object risks.  
• Time and Labour Costs: Sizing, cutting, and shaping a net on-site is slow and labour-intensive. This increases installation time and downtime for your facility, often negating the initial material cost savings.  
• Risk of Human Error: DIY installations rely entirely on the individual installer's judgment for sizing and securing. Dropsafe Nets are pre-engineered to fit the specific fixture perfectly, removing guesswork and ensuring reliable and consistent dropped object prevention.  

For reliable safety, always use a tested, certified, and fixture-specific solution.
