Vertical Life Line – Safe Gear Solutions

Vertical Lifeline Systems / Ladder Fall Protection Systems

Vertical lifeline systems provide convenient, safe, and reliable personal fall protection for workers who perform vertical climbing tasks. Many ladder-related accidents are preventable with the use of a vertical lifeline and a fall protection rope grab system. A vertical lifeline enables mobility up and down the entire height of the line, eliminating the need to disconnect and find a new tie-off point along the way.

\An anchor point travels with you so that you have the mobility to climb while maintaining an anchor point above your D-ring. These systems usually consist of a rope, a cable, or a track to which a worker is attached via a full-body harness and lanyard. A variety of system designs are available to best fit specific tasks and job sites. These include flexible cable ladder safety systems and synthetic rope with safety rope grab systems.

Safety for Ladders and Towers with Vertical Lifelines and Ladder Supports

The two most common solutions for ladder fall arrest systems are cable based vertical lifelines and ladder davits with self-retracting lifelines. These systems are easily installed on new or existing ladders.

One of the challenges with ladder fall arresting systems is determining if the ladder is capable of supporting the loads of a personal fall arrest system. Many ladders were never designed with the intention of being able to take the loads and forces that occur during a fall. This is why having an experienced fall protection engineer on your team is especially important.

A Complete Solution for Fall Safety

It is also important to ensure that your vertical fall arrest system does not create any additional hazards to your workers. Your FLS fall protection specialist will not only evaluate the dimensional aspects of your ladder but also the means of entry and exit from the system to provide a solution that protects your workers not only during the climb but also during access.
