Fall-arrest system

During the construction of the 21
storey Raiffeisen Tower in Vienna –
designed to set a world benchmark
in terms of
sustainability – the
main contractor turned
to safety at height
specialist brand
Combisafe.

The versatile
Combisafe Safety Net
Fan formed an effective
fall-arrest system for
the workforce and also
protected pedestrians
and cars at ground level from falling
objects and debris. With an energy
absorption of up to 4.4 Kj, the Safety
Net Fan is available in two standard
lengths 4.2m and 6m. It can be
installed using the Combisafe Loose
Slab Attachment which means
brickwork can be built
over the attachment
allowing for greater
flexibility of the fan
position.

It is tested to comply
with EN 1263 the
European standard for
safety netting and can
arrest falls of up to
100kg from a height of
up to 6m.
