Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Solutions

Yes, however it may result in a tighter fitting clamshell and splice.

The frequency will depend upon the environment, location and usage but should be at least every 12 months.

+/- 3 degrees – to allow for installation variance, but generally intended to be horizontal.

The front section of the IFU and O&M outline the requirements for PPE that is attaching to the system.

6 ft.

Four. This depends on building structure and purlin spacing.

A self-retracting lifeline is a type of lanyard that allows a user to move around freely within an area without requiring them to manually retract the cable. The lanyard extends and retracts based on the user’s movement.

Depends on the application, task, clearance, and feasibility of installation. Rigid Rail offers superior fall distances while Horizontal Lifelines can be installed places Rigid Rail may not be feasible.

You cannot hoist or suspend materials from Rigid Rail Fall Protection Systems. An independent rail may be added for material handling purposes if the work tasks require it.

Yes, provided new location can sustain loads and sufficient clearance exists. Inspection and certification is required to verify condition of components before relocation occurs.

Certified installers that are also Competent Persons and under the direct supervision of a QP. Additional trainings and certifications in areas such as lift operation, rigging, and steel erection are often required.

Many factors determine fall clearance requirements when using fall protection systems.  The lowest clearance requirements can be as little as 2’ up to over 20’ depending on equipment used, system deflection and other safety factors .

With splicing, rails can be engineered to any required length.  Typical maximum length to fit on a truck is about 40’.

Rigid Rail can be curved to a radius as small as 24”.

Yes.

One of the most common fall arrest solutions, Rigid Rail is an overhead track and trolley fall arrest system, paired with a self-retracting lifeline for workers at height and provide fall arrest solutions in environments that require very short arrest distances.
