The main components of Fall stop systems ensure life safety for people working high. Persons working in places higher than 3 meters must use occupational safety equipment. Fall-stopping systems include:
- Anchors
- Seat Belts
- Connectors
- Life Ropes
- Accessories
Anchors are stabilizing systems. According to the weight of the person using the work safety equipment, an anchor must be selected to resist. There are two types of anchor models: fixed and movable.
Seat belts cover the entire body of the person working high from the shoulders to the legs and provide full protection. Parachute type seat belts are the most suitable models for high-rise workers. They are tailor-made and prevent falling.
Drop Stop System
An important part of the main components of deceleration systems, which are necessary for use for high-rise workers, are connectors. Equipment such as carabiner, lanyard, rewind life rope fall into this group.
Lanyard is an equipment that connects the seat belt you use to the anchor. It is used in conjunction with the shock absorber and acts as an energy absorber if it falls. The rewired life rope allows the employee who is in motion at a height to move comfortably.
At the moment of danger, it can return the employee to the starting point up to 10 meters. The carabiner is the equipment that provides the connection between the life rope and the lanyard.Dec. They are made of hard metals such as steel or aluminum. The important thing for all equipment is that they are standard to carry the weight of the person who will use them.
Fall Stopper
Life ropes are one of the important work safety equipment that provides safety for people working high. There are two types: vertical and horizontal. A horizontal Lifeline is used if working in a horizontal zone is required.
When occupational safety equipment is used as a whole, they ensure complete safety. If lanyard is used without shock absorber, equipment is missing. In order to ensure the safety of the person's life, maintenance and control of the equipment should be carried out before each use.
If one of the safety equipment has rust or wear on it, it should never be used and replaced immediately.
