| Abstract |
Basic requirements of fall protection systems are outlined and the horizontal life line system is described. The system provides a continuous attachment for a safety harness in an operator's place of work. Design considerations discussed include: maximum arrest force; ergonomic factors; provision of anchorages to attach the system to the structure where it is needed; stretching cables and energy dissipation; and system testing. |
