SAFETY LIFELINE SYSTEM

This image illustrates a complete horizontal safety lifeline system used for protecting workers during maintenance or installation work on rooftops, particularly in solar power projects. This system is a permanent fall protection solution, enabling users to move freely along the length of the lifeline while remaining continuously attached to an anchor point.

Made from high-grade stainless steel and galvanized components, this system is robust, weather-resistant, and designed to withstand rooftop environmental conditions. It includes 15 critical components that work together to ensure safety and compliance with international standards.

List and Description of All 15 Components:

1. End Post
   • Mounted at both ends of the lifeline.
   • Serves as the primary anchor point and supports tension forces in the cable.
2. Intermediate Post
   • Installed between the end posts to support the cable.
   • Prevents sagging and helps distribute tension.
3. Intermediate Bracket
   • Holds the cable at intermediate points and ensures it remains aligned.
   • Allows cable flexibility while maintaining structural integrity.
4. Corner Post
   • Used at directional changes in the lifeline route.
   • Designed to handle angular forces safely.
5. Corner Bracket
   • Facilitates smooth cable redirection around corners.
   • Prevents kinking or sharp bends in the wire rope.
6. Energy Absorber
   • Absorbs and dissipates kinetic energy during a fall.
   • Reduces impact force on both the user and the anchor points.
7. Line Tensioner
   • Used to adjust the tension of the horizontal wire rope.
   • Ensures optimal cable tautness for safe operation.
8. Wire Rope
   • The main safety line made from stainless steel.
   • Workers are connected to this using a harness and runner.
9. Rivets (Set of 12)
   • Fasteners used to securely fix the components to the metal roof.
   • Designed for strong and weather-resistant installation.
10. Cable Extremity

• Termination point for the wire rope.
• Ensures neat and secure ends without fraying.

1. Intermediate Runner

• Moves along the wire rope and passes smoothly over intermediate supports.
• Keeps the worker continuously tied off while walking.

1. Lanyard with Double Scaffold Hook

• Connects the runner to the user’s harness.
• Hooks provide strong, secure attachment points.

1. Full Body Harness

• Worn by the user, providing body support in case of a fall.
• Distributes arrest forces across thighs, chest, and shoulders.

1. Work Restraint Lanyard

• Limits the user’s movement to prevent access to fall-risk zones.
• Used where fall prevention (not just arrest) is needed.

1. Karabiner (Carabiner)

• A locking metal connector used to link the harness, lanyard, and runner.
• Offers secure and quick connection.

Advantages of the Horizontal Safety Lifeline System:

1. Continuous Fall Protection
   Users remain connected from start to finish, reducing the risk of falls.
2. Safe Movement Across Rooftops
   Enables lateral movement without needing to disconnect and reconnect at different anchor points.
3. High Durability
   Stainless steel components ensure long-term performance even in coastal or harsh weather conditions.
4. Energy Absorption Technology
   Minimizes impact forces in fall arrest situations, protecting both users and rooftop structure.
5. Adaptable Design
   Can be customized for complex roof layouts with curves and corners.
6. Regulatory Compliance
   Meets global fall protection standards such as EN 795, and ANSI.
7. User-Friendly Operation
   Lightweight runner and lanyard system allows free and ergonomic movement.
8. Minimal Roof Penetration
   Uses engineered posts and rivets designed to maintain structural integrity and waterproofing.
9. Cost-Effective Safety
   Reduces risks of injury, liability, and operational downtime.
10. Ideal for Solar Projects
    Allows safe access to solar panel installations and maintenance areas.
