Falling from heights remains one of the leading causes of injury at construction sites worldwide. Safety Net Systems (ZUS) are an effective engineering solution to minimize risks and save construction workers' lives.
Why ZUS Systems are Necessary?
Unlike personal protective equipment (safety harnesses), which only protect one worker, ZUS systems provide collective safety. They catch both people and construction debris, tools, or materials that may fall from the ceiling edge.
Modern ZUS systems consist of high-strength knotless polyamide netting, metal brackets, and ropes. NetFish knotless nets have higher absorption energy. In knotted nets, the main load during a fall falls on the knots, which can tear. The knotless net distributes the load evenly over the entire area.
