Safety netting replacement on a client site
Safety & Standards

Proven on Site: A Group Client Switches to ICHOU Safety Netting

In an 83 kg sandbag drop test the incumbent net tore and the bag hit the ground; the ICHOU net held undamaged, and was adopted across the site.

Proven where it counts

On work at height and temporary sites, the fall-arrest performance of a safety net protects both people and equipment — and reflects a company’s commitment to safety. After a full review of its safety equipment, the client decided to replace the netting it had been using and adopt ICHOU high-tenacity fall-arrest netting.

As part of that review, the client tested the incumbent netting on site. In a simulated falling-object test it failed to absorb the impact and tore open — a serious safety concern. Under the same test conditions, the ICHOU net stayed intact and structurally sound, demonstrating its tensile and impact performance.

Our safety netting is made from high-tenacity HDPE fibre and repeatedly verified by in-house tensile and drop testing, so that it meets — and often exceeds — the relevant CNS standards. Safety equipment is not about whether it can be installed; it is about whether it holds when it matters. This replacement is another reminder that quality is what earns trust.

With decades of focus on netting, ICHOU builds protection our partners can rely on.
