What is the minimum height requirement for safety nets below the working environment?

The minimum height requirement for safety nets below the working environment is established to ensure the safety of workers who may fall from elevated surfaces. A height of 30 feet is specified because it provides adequate protection against falls, ensuring that the safety nets can capture falling individuals and minimize the risk of injury. At this height, safety nets are designed to absorb the shock and reduce the severity of injuries that workers might sustain during a fall. The choice of 30 feet aligns with regulatory guidelines that prioritize worker safety and are based on research and data reflecting the risks associated with falls from heights.
