Increasing the Level of Construction Safety by Using the Protective and Catching Systems

Abstract

Increasing the level of production safety is one of the most important tasks in construction. One of the most common dangerous production factors is the drop of objects from the building, as well as the fall of workers from the installation horizon. An effective way to solve this problem is to use protective-catching systems that prevent falling objects from the installation horizon to the construction site. However, these systems have certain limitations in the field of application, incl. restrictions on the weight of the falling elements, and also an effective application zone. Another drawback is the technological features of the application of the system, incl. the need for periodic re-installation of systems following the installation horizon, as well as the laboriousness of work on the installation of systems. The study of technological and organizational features of the systems will increase the effectiveness of their application.
