FALL-ARREST SYSTEMS.

摘要

A personnel fall-arrest system is disclosed in which there is a flexible safety track (1) which is supported in spaced relation to a fixture (2) by brackets (5), and a coupling component (7) for connecting a worker's safety harness to said track via a safety line (8), the coupling component (7) being freely displaceable along said track. The system is characterized in that each of the brackets (5) is formed so that it becomes permanently deformed if subjected to heavy loading due to a fall, thereby signalling that the system requires to be checked and re-certified before further use.
