Fall Arrest Bag

HERMEQ’s fall arrest bags are a collective protection solution designed to prevent serious injuries in construction environments with temporary fall hazards. The system includes two variants: the main fall arrest bag for general site use and a lorry cushion bag for trailer-based operations. Both are built from tough polypropylene and filled with sealed-for-life air film material that absorbs fall energy on impact. Each fall arrest bag is engineered to protect workers operating at height. They’re especially suited to slab-level construction, timber-frame builds, or vehicle loading bays where edge or platform exposure poses risks. Once deployed, they create a soft landing zone that reduces injury severity if a fall occurs. Their clipped-top or dual-clip systems make setup fast and intuitive.

• Impact protection up to 3.1m - Certified under PAS59:2014 for falls from working height.
• Fast installation - Clipped fastening eliminates the need for tools or complex rigging.
• Reusable and lightweight - Standard bags weigh just 3kg for easy handling and stacking.
• Trailer-safe option - Lorry cushions secure to flatbeds for fall arrest during manual operations.
• Versatile deployment - Use in timber frame, brick builds, or infrastructure loading areas.

Fall arrest bags are commonly used across new build housing developments, industrial units and any site with unprotected slab edges or internal voids. Where temporary edge protection isn’t practical, this system fills the gap — especially in early-phase projects where scaffold access may not yet be complete. PAS59:2014 accreditation guarantees the system’s performance during real-world conditions. Once installed, the system reduces risks for joiners, fixers, roofers and plant personnel alike. With low weights and compact size, HERMEQ’s fall arrest bags can be deployed quickly across multiple locations. Whether protecting from falls onto concrete, ground beams or steel decks, this air film-based system is one of the most adaptable in temporary fall protection.
