ohutusvõrk

Ohutusvõrk, also known as a safety net, is a protective device designed to prevent falls from significant heights or to catch falling objects. These nets are commonly used in construction sites, theatrical performances, industrial settings, and recreational activities like climbing walls and trampoline parks. The primary function of an ohutusvõrk is to absorb the impact energy of a fall, thereby reducing the risk of serious injury or fatality.

The construction of an ohutusvõrk typically involves strong, durable materials such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene, woven into a mesh pattern. The size of the mesh openings is critical, as it needs to be small enough to prevent individuals from falling through, yet large enough to allow for some flexibility and energy absorption. The nets are usually attached to a sturdy frame or structural elements using strong ropes or cables, ensuring they can withstand considerable force. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to guarantee the integrity and effectiveness of the safety net. Different types of safety nets exist, tailored to specific applications and the potential weights and forces they might encounter. For instance, nets used in construction for falling debris might have different specifications than those used to catch acrobats. Proper installation and understanding of the net's load-bearing capacity are paramount for its safe and effective use.
