Lyta Mesh
Site Inspections
Regular Site Inspections
After erection on site, regular site inspections must be made to ensure that Lyta Mesh :
- anchor points are still intact;
- there are no distortions in the line or the appearance of Lyta Mesh;
- that the Lyta Mesh has not been used to arrest a fall or loaded in any way (this will usually show as a localised deformation in the mesh);
- that the mesh is clear of debris and if any debris has damaged the mesh in anyway;
- that no cuts have been made to the grid, which could compromise the strength integrity of the mesh. Where this is the case, the mesh should be immediately withdrawn from service until repaired or discarded.
While In Use
The following conditions may also affect the integrity of Lyta Mesh while in use:
- sparks from welding, grinding and burning operations, hot gases from blow lamps, hot ash from chimneys/furnaces etc.;
- chemical contamination by caustic or harmful substances;
- adverse wind conditions;
- significant loading or impact;
- handling misuse.
Important Mechanical Damages
The following mechanical damage may also affect the integrity of Lyta Mesh:
- dragging over rough surfaces;
- contact with sharp objects;
- accumulation of debris in the netting;
- persons jumping or throwing objects into the net;
- being struck by a moving load;
Special care and precautions should be taken to protect the net when exposed to any of the above conditions.
