Fall Arrest Bags
We offer 2 Bag systems for fall protection as an alternative where safety
nets are not viable: the Air Bag or Inflated Crash Deck system; and the
Bean Bag System. These systems are of use where secure fixings to brick
or concrete are unavailable this method offers a flexible and quick solution
which, whilst inhibiting work in an area, is a means of collective fall
arrest from heights.
The Air Bag or Inflated Crash Deck system consists of a series of interlinked air mattresses located under the work area. The mattresses are connected by secure couplings and then inflated on site by a pump fan either electric, petrol or butane powered. The individual mattresses fill with low pressure air to expand and form a continuous protective surface.The mattresses are manufactured in various sizes which allows for use in any configuration. The system has been tested in conjunction with the BRE. We offer to supply and install or to supply with a brief training session o that you can then move the system around for use throughout a site over a duration.
The Bean Bag is a free flowing cushioned material bag made from expanded polystyrene with high compressive creep and recovery properties. It is constructed from1650/1800 Denier tear-resistant, man-made fabric being low of weight (0.1Kgm-2), and of low tensile strength (1.7 MNm-3). The Bean Bags will be clipped together to form one complete unit. As each Bag is installed it will be pushed hard into the previous fall bag to ensure that a continuous mat is assembled. Where the floor area to be covered is smaller than the length or width of the bag, it will simply curve up the perimeter wall (this should direct a falling body onto the "Fall Protection System").
