Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline System
System Design, Installation and Other Characteristics
Section 3.0
3.1
SYSTEM DESIGN
The System will be designed to suit your local conditions. The approved Capital Safety Installer will have verified all the necessary
parameters using a specially developed computer program. The information generated from this program is the result of extensive testing
and verification by an external laboratory and conforms with internationally recognised standards.
The System will be positioned to allow the user safe access to all areas required. If possible the System should be 'Restraint' rather than
'Fall Arrest'. For this reason it is necessary that persons only use the personal protective equipment supplied for use with the System.
If using Self-Retracting Fall Arrest Devices or a Controlled Rate Descent Device, the use of a pull down cord is recommended to enable
the user to attach to the system at ground level. DO NOT leave cable permanently extended from these devices.
The design of the system and choice of fall arrest device is determined by some of the following factors:
•
The requirement for access
•
Availability of structural anchors
•
Ground clearance
•
Obstacles beneath the work area
•
Number of users
For further information on the positioning of the System, please contact your Installer or Capital Safety.
3.2
INSTALLATION
The Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline is a facility to enable safe working at heights. Lives are at risk if the System is not installed
correctly. Capital Safety Approved Systems Integrators are highly trained in the design, installation, certification and maintenance of
the product. If you are at all concerned about the competence of the personnel installing your system, please contact Capital Safety.
3.3
FIXINGS
The Capital Safety Simulation Program calculates figures for the loads that would be generated in the event of a worst-case fall scenario.
It is imperative that the supporting structure and fixings used in the construction of the System are capable of withstanding at least twice
these loads.
Furthermore fixings and the interface of components with the structure must be such that they do not permit dissimilar materials to come
in to direct contact. Suitable isolation materials must be used.
All fasteners must be correctly torqued in accordance with Capital Safety's technical instructions.
If in doubt, please consult a structural engineer.
3.4
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
All PPE used in conjunction with the horizontal lifeline system should carry the CE mark or appropriate national certification, date of
manufacture and the standard that it has been manufactured to. Any harness to be used should be a full body harness and any lanyard
should have an energy/shock absorber. It is important that any PPE used must adhere to the specific design and specification for that
particular lifeline system. In particular the use of fall arrest blocks is limited to the specific models tested and approved for use by Capital
Safety and can only be used where the lifeline is directly above the user and at an angle of ≤20°. For these reasons it is necessary that
persons only use the PPE supplied for use with the system.
3.5
PACKAGING
All equipment leaving Capital Safety is sufficiently packaged to prevent damage and/or deterioration during transportation.
Any concerns or claims regarding the condition of the equipment should first be addressed to the installer.
