3 Types of Fall Protection Lifeline Systems

Horizontal Lifelines Fall Protection

Horizontal lifelines are versatile systems that can be used for fall restraint or fall arrest. Check out fall restraint vs fall arrest.
This system is securely fixed to reinforced concrete, steel structures, or metal deck roofs and is highly adaptable to various site layouts.
TopScope has installed this system in diverse locations, including oil rigs, glass and ETFE canopies, roof walkways with metal deck standing seam and KlipLok profiles, high-rise buildings, and industrial facilities.
In Malaysia, TopScope has installed horizontal lifelines at Menara Mitraland, MRT Sg. Buloh Station, and other locations.

Vertical Lifelines Fall Protection

Vertical lifelines are primarily installed on ladders, electrical, and telecommunication towers.
This system is set up to provide continuous protection for workers climbing or descending ladders.
TopScope also custom fabricates ladders to meet specific building access requirements.

Overhead Lifelines Fall Protection

Overhead lifelines are utilized in environments such as warehouses and factories.
This system is set up to allow workers to move horizontally while being safeguarded from falls.

5 Common Safety Lifeline Equipments

Safety lifeline equipment includes several key components that ensure the effectiveness of the system:

Anchor Points

These are fixed to a solid structure and serve as the attachment point for lifelines.

Shock Absorbers

These devices reduce the impact force during a fall, minimizing the risk of injury.

Connectors

These link the harness to the lifeline, allowing for flexibility and movement.

Lanyards

Flexible lines that connect the harness to the anchor, often incorporating shock absorbers to minimize fall forces.

Harnesses

Worn by workers, harnesses distribute the forces of a fall across the body to prevent injury.
