摘要:
A retracting lifeline system, includes: a housing, a first connector attached to the housing, a lifeline, and a hub to which the lifeline is attached at a first end of the lifeline and around which the lifeline is coiled within the housing. The housing includes an opening through which the lifeline exits the housing. The hub is tensioned to rotate in a first direction to cause retracting of the lifeline and coiling of the lifeline around the hub. The retracting lifeline system further includes a second connector attached to a second end of the lifeline. At least a section of the lifeline has an initial ultimate tensile load of at least 8000 pounds and is abrasion resistant (that is, satisfying the abrasion test requirement set forth in the ANSI/ASSE Z359.13-2009 standard) such that the section of the lifeline is available for tie-back anchoring using the second connector. The section of the lifeline is at least partially retractable within the housing.
摘要:
A stanchion system, includes a stanchion post and an attachment system for attachment to a flange which includes a first edge and a second edge. The attachment system includes a crossbar including an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange; a base including a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is movable and a seating for the stanchion post; and a connector including a first section and a second section. The second section of the connector is attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at one of a plurality of incremental positions. The first section of the connector is movable relative to the second section to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member of the crossbar. In several embodiments, the first section is movable relative to the second section to abut the base on a side of the base opposite the side upon which the flange is positioned to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member.

摘要:
An energy absorber including a strap including at least a first path of relatively reduced strength extending over at least a portion of the length of the strap. The energy absorber also includes at least a first transition region including a first initial point where tearing begins along the first transition region when a force above a threshold force is applied (to the energy absorber/strap) and a first end point. The first end point is in operative connection with a first point on the first path so that tearing continues along the first path after tearing along the first transition region. A gradual increase in load occurring as tearing occurs along the transition region.
