No one should ever work without a safety net

Our expertise is borne of safety, innovation & disruption

  • A single incident that resulted in a fall from an office chair raised questions and highlighted an Occupational Health Safety category previously not considered

  • We asked the questions: why, how, who’s fault, and how many times has this happened before

  • It became inherently clear that there was a design fault in traditional chair castors and that we could address the issue immediately, cost effectively and the potential market is substantial

  • The castor-net was developed
