Fall Protection System
A fall protection system having two telescoping supports positioned at either end of a job location and having a crossbar extending there between that allow a user to work in an elevated position while also providing a tethering point to protect against falls. The supports may be coupled to a pair of conventional ladders that support a walk board, or the supports may directly support a walk board extending between the two supports. The two supports retain and securely attach to a horizontal support beam that is the anchoring location for a fall protection harness. A user may then use the walk board to perform installations or repairs above the minimum height necessary for fall protection and be secured against a fall by attaching via a harness and strap to the cross-bar.

Ladder dock
A ladder dock includes a planar mounting panel defining an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the mounting panel configured to contact and be secured to a surface of an elevated structure; and a planar connecting panel defining an upper surface and a lower surface, the connecting panel extending from the mounting panel and angled upward with respect to the mounting panel by a bend angle, the connecting panel defining a first notch and a second notch, a portion of the connecting panel positioned between the first notch and the second notch, each of the first notch and the second notch extending in a direction away from the mounting panel, the first notch and the second notch sized to receive and fix a position of a ladder relative to the ladder dock.
Fall protection system
A fall protection system having a top bracket assembly that is mountable to a top portion of the ladder, a spaced bottom bracket assembly that is mountable to a bottom portion of the ladder, and a cable extending therebetween portions of the top bracket assembly and the bottom bracket assembly substantially parallel to a plane bisecting the vertical ladder at a desired distance from the plane.

Fall arrest system
A fall arrest system is disclosed. In one aspect, a structure may include a collar on the roof portion of the structure. A U or V-shaped anchor point has leaves or legs of the U or V-shape attached to spaced-apart locations on the collar. A cable may be attached to the anchor point and extended off the roof and down a side of the structure proximate to a ladder. A distal end of the cable may be tensioned by a cable tensioner. A rope grab may be attached to the cable. A pulley or similar structure may be used at the edge of the roof and side to protect the cable from rubbing against the edge. In use, a person attaches to the rope grab and climbs the ladder to the top of the structure.
