Product Value & Applications
The Safety Net Catch Fan solves a major challenge in modern construction—ensuring robust fall protection in fast-moving, high-density environments. Unlike traditional netting, this catch fan provides built-in flexibility and coverage without relying on heavy equipment. It uses integrated safety nets with fine mesh overlays to contain falling debris, offering a practical edge protection solution for contractors and site managers alike.
Designed for scaffolding and slab perimeter use, this fan system directly reduces accident risk in overhead work zones. Its two size options—6000 x 3000 mm and 4000 x 3000 mm—allow adaptation across floor levels and structure types. By eliminating crane dependency, installation is faster, safer, and more economical. Built to meet EN 1263 compliance, it delivers assured performance on UK construction sites where regulatory alignment is essential.
The fold-up mechanism enhances usability by clearing crane access when needed without full dismantling. Whether mounted to walls, beams, or edge fixings, the HERMEQ Safety Net Catch Fan is purpose-built to meet the demands of refurbishment sites, high-rise builds, and any location where risk of falling tools or debris must be controlled.
HERMEQ stocks a wide range of equipment for Working at Height, including Edge Protection Systems, Fall Arrest Systems, and Harnesses & Lanyards conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

The HERMEQ Safety Net Catch Fan has been developed to address complex safety needs across dense or high-rise UK construction sites. Built with dual-mesh nets and durable structural framing, it provides a higher standard of catch performance than typical single-layer netting systems.
The structure is lightweight and modular, meaning it can be installed by hand with minimal disruption to nearby activity. Its capacity to mount to multiple surfaces including concrete slab edges, scaffolding ledgers, and steel structures enables integration across diverse site layouts.
Ideal for areas with high pedestrian traffic or where ground-level safety zones are limited, this catch fan ensures consistent safety net coverage. With the ability to fold upwards for crane path clearance or secure storage, operational downtime is kept to a minimum between phases.
The catch fan also serves as a secondary fall prevention measure. In conjunction with harnesses, lanyards, and primary arrest systems, it can offer vital redundancy at active edge locations. Its corrosion-resistant finish ensures long-term site performance, even under harsh outdoor exposure.
Professionals prioritising HSE compliance and worker safety will find this fan system fits seamlessly into both new-build and refurbishment projects, particularly where traditional edge protection or netting proves inadequate or inflexible.
What size options are available for this safety catch fan?
We offer two standard sizes: 6000 x 3000 mm and 4000 x 3000 mm.
Can it be used on different structures?
Yes, it can be fixed to slabs, scaffolding, soffits, steel beams or walls using appropriate brackets.
Is it compliant with UK safety regulations?
Yes. The system is EN 1263 compliant and built to meet UK construction standards.
How do I access items that have fallen into the net?
The fan folds vertically, allowing safe retrieval of debris without dismantling the system.
Is the net suitable for small object containment?
Yes. It uses a fine 20×20 mm mesh overlay that prevents bounce-outs and captures smaller debris.
