摘要:
A mobile fall protection unit can be maneuvered by hand and brought to a flatbed with readily deployable, temporary fences for worker fall protection. The mobile fall protection unit can include a chassis, which carries a frame, which in turn carries a ladder as well as selectively deployable fall protection devices for worker fall protection. The frame carries a pair of retractable fall barriers separated from each other by about the width of the back of the flatbed.

A height safety anchor for fitment to a building support structure, the height safety anchor comprising: first attachment means for fitment to the building support structure; second attachment means remote from the first attachment means for attaching safety equipment; and shock absorbing means having a deformable region extending between the first and second attachment means in a first length when not subject to a deformation force corresponding to a critical sudden load, the shock absorbing means lying substantially in a single plane and comprising a substantially rigid structure that, when subject to the critical sudden load, deforms, elongating to a greater length than the first length.

Embodiments of the invention provide a fall protection system having first and second truss members, at a first distance from each other; first and second slotted housings at a second distance from each other, each housing defining a first track therein; a first plurality of connecting members connecting the first truss member to the first housing; a second plurality of connecting members connecting the second truss member to the second housing; and a first plurality of cross members connecting the first housing to the second housing. Some fall protection systems include at least two spaced apart support members and may have a length ranging from about 10 feet to about 2,000 feet in length.

A fall protection apparatus includes a single longitudinally extending rigid rail onto which two laterally spaced apart moveable lanyard anchorages are mounted. The rail has a generally H-shaped cross-section with opposing vertically oriented first and second tracks laterally spaced apart by a connecting member extending between the tracks and substantially continuously along the length of the tracks The apparatus is attached to a structure by a support member, such as an overhead or lower support member, with the support member being attached to an upper or lower surface of the connecting member respectively. Each anchorage is adapted to be independently moveable along the length of one of the tracks, with the tracks being sufficiently spaced apart to permit the anchorages to freely pass by each other and the attachment point.

For the purpose of avoiding accidents during use, a self-belay set with two carabiners (K1 and K2) which can be hung at belay points (2) and which are each attached to a connection piece (6) attached to the self-belaying person, is characterized in that the blocking devices (15, 17) of the two carabiners (K1, K2) are coupled by a coupling means (7, 7), and characterized by a belay means (5) provided for the carabiners (K1, K2) which by means of the blocking device (15, 17) prohibits the carabiners from opening during the hanging of a carabiner (K1, K2) at the belay point (2) and during operation of the belay means (5). The blocking devices (17, 25) of the second carabiner (K1, K2) are operated via the coupling means (7, 7) in such a way that the second carabiner (K1, K2) is released for opening such that at all times only one of the carabiners (K1, K2) can be opened.

The intermediate holder (10) for a safety rope (38) of an overhead safety rope system comprises a base (12) and a yoke (14) which bears a guide tube (16), in which the safety rope (38) can be secured, and which is articulated at its upper end on the base (12) at an articulation point. At its lower end, the yoke (14) supports the guide tube (16) from below at an angle of 0 to 90° to the connection line between the articulation point of the yoke (14) on the base (12) and the guide tube (16). The yoke (14) is cut out in the form of a C such that it can grip laterally around a runner (40) guided on the safety rope (38). In an arrangement consisting of the intermediate holder and a runner (40) cooperating therewith, the runner (40) has two side parts (42, 44) between which at least one running roller (46) is mounted, wherein one of the two side parts (42) grips around the running roller (46) on the underside at a distance (56) which is slightly larger than the diameter of the guide tube (16), and wherein a gap (60) for the passage of the lower end (36) of the yoke (14) remains free between the lower ends of the side parts (42, 44). Preferably, two running rollers (46, 48) are mounted between the side parts (42, 44).
摘要:
A gusset plate for securing roof truss members together and aiding in anchoring a security line. The plate is planar and metallic having front and rear surfaces and an outer perimeter. Teeth project outwardly from the rear surface. The perimeter includes a flat or V-shaped first edge and a U-shaped second edge. The V-shape and U-shape open in the same direction. The plate includes first and second wings defined between the first and second edges and extending for a distance along the front surfaces of the truss members. A shackle on the security line is secured to the roof truss proximate where the roof truss is reinforced by the gusset plate. The plate secures the truss members together and can provide a strong, rigid surface for the shackle to engage thereby reducing the likelihood of damage to the truss when force is applied to the security line.

A pair of flat plates are joined by a hinge and fastened at the peak of a roof so that an eye bolt attached to one of the plates is positioned outward of the roof. A safety cable is engaged with the eye bolt and may be fastened to a worker harness. A second pair of flat plates, also having eye bolts are fastened on either side of the hinged pair and spaced apart. A walker cable is fastened between the second pair of flat plates. The safety cable may be fastened to the walking cable instead of the worker harness, and in this case, a personnel cable may be slidingly engaged with the walking cable and to the worker harness so as to provide safety to a worker while permitting the worker to move about while working on a scaffold.

A safety rail system (1) which can be installed on a sloping roof (42) and provides a continuous rail to which a safety rail traveller (62) and associated safety line may be attached comprises one or more longitudinal base units (10) of substantially uniform cross section adapted to be fixed to the surface of a building, and one or more longitudinal rail units (30) of substantially uniform cross section adapted to allow the attachment of a safety rail traveller (62). The base units (10) and rail units (30) are provided with corresponding male and female continuous key portions (12, 36) to permit a base unit and a rail unit to interlockingly engage by longitudinal sliding action.

A safety apparatus (10) for enhancing worker safety includes a support arrangement. The arrangement is locatable proximate a hazardous working area (18). A connecting arrangement defines at least one pair of opposed connecting points (64). The connecting points (64) are positioned on opposite sides of the hazardous area (18) so that a line (72) connecting the points (64) spans the hazardous area (18). The invention extends to an anchor member (12) for the safety apparatus, to a kit for the safety apparatus and to a structural assembly.
