Lifelines are a critical component of fall protection systems used in various industries to protect workers from falls. A lifeline is a rope or cable system that attaches to a worker's harness and anchors to a stable structure, allowing the worker to move safely and securely while performing their job duties at height. Lifelines come in different lengths and materials, including wire rope, synthetic rope, and webbing, and can be used in conjunction with other fall protection devices such as shock-absorbing lanyards or self-retracting lifelines. They are essential for workers who operate at heights, such as construction workers, roofers, and tower climbers, as they provide an additional level of safety in the event of a fall. Proper selection, installation, and use of lifelines are critical to ensuring worker safety and preventing accidents.
