The Boris Nets Training Centre - Multiple Courses - Multiple Sectors

At Boris Nets, we have over 65 years of experience designing and manufacturing specialist netting solutions. Drawing on our deep industry knowledge, we have created a series of practical, in-depth courses to help professionals select, install, and maintain netting systems and beyond.

These educational resources cover key topics including advanced materials, mesh design, construction techniques, strengthening methods, maintenance best practices, and the latest innovations in the field. These are some of our courses, designed to provide clear, actionable insights for anyone working with protective netting solutions.

FASET Safety Nets for Managers is a one-day classroom course for site managers, principal contractors, and temporary works coordinators. It covers legislation, net systems, installation planning, inspection, fault identification, paperwork, and management responsibilities. Delegates receive a 3-year Certificate of Attendance.

FASET Safety Net Riggers Course provides foundation training for new or trainee riggers over one full day (max 6 delegates). It teaches safe MEWP operation, net positioning, joining, tensioning, and handover to BS EN 1263-2 standards.
