Fall Arrest & Fall Protection Safety

Decreased Fall Distance FOR GREATER FALL SAFETY

Rigid Lifelines fall protection systems are rigid and don’t deflect downward during a fall event like wire rope or cable systems. Because our rigid systems do not deflect, fall forces are lessened, fall distance is dramatically decreased and fall safety is increased. Decreased fall distance means lesser chance of injury due to impacts during the free fall or sudden deceleration. Low deflection not only minimizes or eliminates injury, but it also enables self-rescue as long as the worker is in a position to step up to safety.

Prevention of Downtime

Rigid Lifelines fall protection safety systems prevent workplace downtime by allowing workers to return to their job after a fall. Traditional wire rope or cable systems require parts replacement, recertification, and tagging out after a fall. A serious injury sustained on a sub-standard system could mean days or months off of work, and workers compensation claims. Because Rigid Lifelines fall protection safety systems minimize injury, missed work and injury claims can be avoided.

Ease of Use

When attached to a Rigid Lifelines fall protection safety system, you experience effortless movement. Our rolling trolley moves when you move, and the trolley always center over your head. Fall protection solutions, like single point anchorages, allow for no linear motion, while wire rope or cable systems drag or completely hang up at anchor points. Fall protection systems that use steel I-Beams in their design have bulky, heavy trolleys that do not roll with the freedom of our rolling trolleys on our enclosed track systems. A system that is problematic to use makes workers less efficient and presents a situation where a worker might unhook themselves out of frustration, or worse, never hook up at all.

Enclosed Track Design

Rigid Lifelines fall safety systems utilize our enclosed track design. The “V” shaped profile of our track prevents the accumulation of dust and debris inside of the track. Snow and ice, as well as dirt, dust, and animal droppings can present a major problem for wire rope or rigid I-Beam systems. Rigid Lifelines enclosed track provides maintenance free superior performance both indoors and outdoors.

Fall Safety Track Options

Rigid Lifelines fall protection safety systems come with multiple track styles and finishes. Systems can be configured with one or multiple tracks depending on the application and the needs of the workers. Track designs that incorporate more than one track allow for two or more workers to pass each other without the need for them to unhook when passing each other. Rigid Lifelines enclosed track can be fabricated with steel or aluminum. Track is also available in various finishes like powder coated, galvanized, or stainless steel.
