I must admit I too am interested in a methodology solution from a curiosity stand point, is it possible the above response information might be shared on the forum?

On first opinion it would seem reasonable to assume that if there were room to lay out air bags or support frameworking for netting etc. then there would be adequate room to erect edge protection around the fridges??.

It should also be consider that the work at height regulations require fall prevention systems as a first priority rather than limiting the consequences of a fall.

Thinking about this situation I would assume that the work would involve electrical connections (or possibly works by refrigeration engineer connecting gas supply pipes etc).

In such a situation I would consider a safe sysstem of work to involve connections to supplies overhead to be made first (whilst proved dead or if refrigerant gases employed the supply isolated and made safe for the additional pipes to be made and laid to supply point) and the connects made at height whilst working from a suitable platform or mobile scaffold tower (pasma training may also be required). Once this was done the plant could be moved into position and connected up, supplies tested whilst dead (installation certification - e.g. electrical, or pressure tested for gas pipes etc) and then brought into service.

I would have thought that there would little room for netting, almost nothing to support it which would mean providing an additional structure to place netting on, and the aisle in the vicinity are unlikely to be available for placing of airbags, which if the works are properly planned and executed I do not think would be necessary.

Hope this is of use
