Designed to protect the safety of the personnel who will work high, the system that will save the life of the personnel in case of any fall is the Horizontal Life ropes system. This system must be manufactured in accordance with en 795:2012 and CEN TS 16415:2013 standards.
Design and application of Horizontal Life ropes
The main connecting bracket (ABB), made of ss316 grade stainless steel, is designed to include intermediate support bracket points, rope gripper, tensioning decks, carriage shock absorber and a stainless steel rope. It cannot perform its functions if it is not designed correctly. Its design must be complete and meet all expectations. When installing Horizontal Life ropes, the rope made of stainless steel is tensioned by means of tensioning rope. It is combined with support brackets so that there is a distance of 10 – 12 meters. Carriage; connects personnel with Horizontal Life ropes. Rewind drop blocker or lanyard with seat belt is used when connecting. Personnel who will work at altitude wear a parachute-type seat belt. Because it contains a moving gripper, the hands and feet of the staff work freely. The most important point to consider when installing Horizontal Life ropes is the type of roof that will be installed. Different anchor connection systems are selected for types such as membrane roof, trapezoidal roof, concrete roof, steel roof, sandwich panel roof. Horizontal Life ropes fixed to the roof prevent damage to personnel with shock absorbers inside in case of a possible fall.
