Installation of fall protection systems

From risk assessment to certified handover: your guarantee for safety at height. Working at height is often unavoidable, but the risk isn’t. A fall protection system only provides true security when it is perfectly designed, engineered, and installed for your specific situation.

More than installation: a complete safety solution

An incorrect installation creates a false sense of safety and poses a hidden liability risk. Mennens does not deliver standard installation, but a fully engineered safety solution. Our specialists design, install, and certify permanent fall protection systems that demonstrably comply with the strictest standards.

Why choose Mennens?

NEN-EN 795 certified

Mennens fall protection systems are designed and installed in accordance with the NEN-EN 795 standard. This standard sets strict requirements for anchor points and fastening systems for personal fall protection. By working with certified solutions, you are assured of demonstrable safety, reliability, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Custom engineering

Every working environment is different and requires a well-considered approach. That’s why Mennens provides custom engineering for fall protection systems, fully tailored to the environment, risks, and activities. From design to realization, our specialists ensure a solution that is technically sound, practical, and delivers maximum safety.

Complete handover including certification

After installation, Mennens provides full handover including certification. The system is inspected and documented in accordance with applicable standards. You receive clear documentation demonstrating that the fall protection system has been safely installed and meets all requirements.

Why professional installation is crucial

Choosing an expert installation partner goes beyond simply installing anchor points. It is a strategic decision for the safety and continuity of your operations.

  • Legal liability: As an employer, you have a duty of care under the Working Conditions Act. A system designed and certified by Mennens ensures compliance with this obligation and relevant NEN standards.
  • Prevent false safety: An incorrectly installed anchor point or poorly designed lifeline system can fail under load. Our expertise in engineering and structural design eliminates this risk.
  • Durability and TCO: A correctly installed system, tailored to the environment and usage, has a longer service life and requires less corrective maintenance, reducing the total cost of ownership.

In addition to installing fall protection systems, we also offer training for safe working at height and in confined spaces. Watch the video for more information.

Our expertise spans a wide range of environments, from new construction and industrial settings to complex infrastructures such as wind turbines, tower cranes, and offshore installations.

How we work: our installation process

Analysis & design (Risk Assessment & Evaluation)

Our specialists begin with an on-site Risk Assessment and Evaluation (RA&E). We analyze the working environment, the structure, and the required activities. Based on this, we engineer the most effective and safest solution. 

Professional installation

Our VCA-certified technicians install the system in accordance with the approved design and applicable installation guidelines. They have the expertise to work on concrete, steel, masonry, and other complex substrates. 

Handover & certification

After installation, the entire system is tested, validated, and certified in accordance with the NEN-EN 795 standard. You receive a complete handover dossier with all the necessary documentation for your records.

User instruction

A system is only safe when it is used correctly. We can provide instruction or training for end users, ensuring they use personal protective equipment (PPE) properly.

Management and insight with Certif

After certified installation, we can immediately register the new system in Mennens Certif. Here, you can manage the status, certificates, and scheduling of the mandatory annual inspection. This ensures you remain fully compliant at all times.

Our engineers and installers have expertise with a wide range of substrates, including concrete, steel structures, masonry, and various types of roofing. For each situation, the appropriate fixing method is calculated and applied.

A rail system is a rigid system that deflects less and often runs more smoothly, making it ideal for intensive use. A cable system is more flexible, can span longer distances, and is often a more economical choice for longer runs. The right choice depends on the application.
