FASET Safety Net Repair Course
This one day course provides knowledge on how to repair knotless safety nets in line with FASET guidance. For many years this has been the domain of manufacturers where similar, yet different techniques made it difficult for net owners to identify one approved method to repair their own nets. Manufacturers training has focussed on the method of repair and not dealt with wider issues such as net examination, types and causes of damage, fleet management and record keeping. The FASET course addresses these topics. FASET have agreed with all manufacturers operating in the UK on one standard repair and this is what 3 Education teach.
