FASET is the trade association for the safety net rigging and temporary safety systems industry. This document was originally published by the FASET Health and Safety Committee with assistance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and gives general guidance on the various access methods available for rigging safety net fall arrest systems. The aim is to outline the principal methods available in order of priority and to give advice and guidance to rigging contractors and clients alike on the safe systems of work recommended by FASET.

The CDM regulations place duties on principal contractors to plan, manage and monitor construction, prepare and make available the relevant sections of the health and safety plan and check that the work is executed by competent contractors. The regulations also place duties on all contractors to co-operate with the principal contractor in planning and managing work, and reporting problems and hazards on site.
