About NFA Safety Group
Never Fall Again. Not a slogan — the standard.
NFA Safety Group from 't Harde brings together five companies that do one thing: make roofs meet level 1 of the statutory hierarchy — permanent, collective, demonstrable.
Mission
Falling from height is not fate, it is organisational failure. We address the decision-maker: the building owner, the commissioning party, the designer. Not with a product, but with the question that should always have been asked first: is a guardrail technically possible here?
Where the answer is yes — and it almost always is — we manufacture, engineer, advise and install it. With the project dossier that proves it is right: wind load calculation, declaration of performance and the statutory basis per country.
Where the answer is demonstrably no, we supply anchor points. Deliberately as the last step, never the first.
The four forces
European law
Framework Directive 89/391/EEC and Directive 2001/45/EC: collective before individual, in every member state.
Cost
Over 60 years, permanent guardrail is 3.5× cheaper than lifelines in our cost model.
Safety
76% of 371 serious roof-fall accidents were directly linked to missing edge protection.
The human being
Safe work at height is a human right (UDHR art. 23, ILO 155 and 187).
People
One group, short lines. The directors of the companies are directly reachable.
