Safety Harness

This consists of straps that have to be secured around the body in such a way that a fall is prevented and the impact of fall is distributed over the shoulders, chest, waist, pelvis and the thighs in a proper way. There are also means to attach this type of harness to various other personal fall-arrest system components.

Catenary Line / Static Line

A rope or cable is vertically and / or horizontally strung from one major object to other, and can let a worker travel between the objects smoothly while being able to prevent fall while moving.

Retractable Lifeline

This kind of fall arrester equipment lets workers travel freely with no slack rope. However, when a fall starts, it locks immediately. While employees can use retractable lifelines, horizontal motion needs to be restricted.

Anchor Point

This is a secure attachment point for deceleration devices, lanyards or lifelines. Often, an anchor point is a floor, column, girder or beam.
