polypropylene rope, vertical lifeline attached, vertical lifeline with rope grab extends from top of column to base, 1 worker using lifeline at a time.

q Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL)

Anchor to approved roof anchor, 1 worker using SRL at a time, must be moved periodically, lifeline locks up in quick movement, automatically retracts when tension removed, minimizing fall distance.

q Guardrail, Scaffolding, etc.

Removes fall potential by providing a physical barrier, must meet minimum horizontal and vertical forces, must have top rail, midrail and toe board, scaffolding must be built accordingly.
