Horizontal Lifeline Systems

The Benefits of Horizontal Lifelines

Horizontal track systems provide personal fall protection where collective measures such as barriers are not suitable. Recommended to be designed in restraint, this is an affordable, suitable solution, should working at height be unavoidable and guarding not achievable.

The systems can be designed for multiple users and requires training on working at height and PPE. Fall arrest systems are used where it is not possible to design a system in restraint and help to minimise the consequences of falls from height. Before use, they do require suitable rescue plans and rescue training for users to be in place.

Horizontal rail systems should be considered for small, wall fixed fall arrest systems installations as the loadings on the structure ‘in the event of a fall’ are low due to fixing specifications. This makes our horizontal rail fall protection solution very effective, especially when compared with other solutions such as cable.

There is no need to disconnect from this solution as the product consists of one continuous track with no intermediate brackets to pass. This is good for safety, but it is also a robust and aesthetically pleasing option to consider.

It is required by law that this system is inspected and certified every 12 months at a minimum, along with any associated PPE equipment. Altus Safety also provide horizontal safety lines that use a cable system, rather than a track.
