In some embodiments, a lifeline comprises an anchor arranged to support a cable and a shuttle arranged to move along a length of the cable. The anchor comprises a body portion and a cable engaging portion. The body portion comprises a thickness. The shuttle comprises a first end and a second end. A cavity extends from the first end to the second end and a slot extends from the first end to the second end. The cable extends through the cavity. A width of the slot is greater than the thickness of the body portion. The width of the slot is less than a cross-sectional size of the cable.

A horizontal lifeline shuttle apparatus is provided. The horizontal lifeline shuttle apparatus includes an attachment portion, a body portion, and a cable channel. The body portion is configured to at least partially surround a portion of a cable so as to retain the portion of the cable within a cable channel The attachment portion is configured to move relative to the body portion based at least in part on the motion of the moveable pin fixedly secured thereto. At least a portion of the moveable pin is disposed within each of a plurality of moveable pin guide grooves positioned within the body portion such that a range of motion of the moveable pin is defined at least in part by the plurality of moveable pin grooves. At least one of the plurality of moveable pin grooves comprises a vertical portion.

There is provided fall protection equipment, such as a self-retracting lifeline (SRL), including features that enable the SRL to determine a worker's location and a map of a surface on which the worker is working. There is also provided an SRL having a lifeline with a distal end for connection to a user, at least one sensor adapted to determine the tension in the lifeline, and a computing device comprising a processor and a memory.

A safety anchor for construction having a mounting plate for mounting to a vertical portion of a structure; a vertical support member coupled to the mounting plate and extending upwardly therefrom; and, a tethering component at a top end of the vertical support member. In one method of use, a first safety anchor is mounted to a first side of a structure, a second safety anchor is mounted to a second side of a structure, and a cable is interposed between the first and second safety anchors.

A brake assembly comprises a brake plate including a plurality of radially-extending brake tabs, and an extension member extending at least partially through the brake plate. The extension member is movable relative to the brake plate such that the extension member is configured to successively engage the brake tabs. The brake assembly enables one or more forces to be managed or controlled throughout a braking event, such as a fall arrest event.

An apparatus including a lifeline having a first end and an opposing second end; a support structure, wherein the first end and the second end of the lifeline are supported by the support structure such that there is a distance between the first end and the opposing second end; and a structure for holding one or more persons above a ground surface; wherein the support structure is configured to be moved without causing the structure for holding one or more persons to be moved; and the structure for holding one or more persons be configured to be moved without causing the support structure to be moved. The support structure may include first and second posts; wherein each of the first and second posts be configured to be adjusted in height above a ground surface to cause a height of the lifeline above the ground surface to be adjusted.

In some embodiments, a lifeline comprises an anchor arranged to support a cable and a shuttle arranged to move along a length of the cable. The anchor comprises a body portion and a cable engaging portion. The body portion comprises a thickness. The shuttle comprises a first end and a second end. A cavity extends from the first end to the second end and a slot extends from the first end to the second end. The cable extends through the cavity. A width of the slot is greater than the thickness of the body portion. The width of the slot is less than a cross-sectional size of the cable.

A horizontal lifeline shuttle apparatus is provided. The horizontal lifeline shuttle apparatus includes an attachment portion, a body portion, and a cable channel. The body portion is configured to at least partially surround a portion of a cable so as to retain the portion of the cable within a cable channel The attachment portion is configured to move relative to the body portion based at least in part on the motion of the moveable pin fixedly secured thereto. At least a portion of the moveable pin is disposed within each of a plurality of moveable pin guide grooves positioned within the body portion such that a range of motion of the moveable pin is defined at least in part by the plurality of moveable pin grooves. At least one of the plurality of moveable pin grooves comprises a vertical portion.

A fall arrest system for use with a platform includes a harness configured to be worn by an operator, a first bracket and a second bracket configured to be coupled to the platform, a horizontal support including a first end portion coupled to the first bracket and a second end portion coupled to the second bracket, and a harness adapter coupled to the harness, the harness adapter defining an aperture that receives the horizontal support. The harness adapter is repositionable along a length of the horizontal support.

A garment having an inner surface and an outer surface for use with a safety strap, the garment comprising a collar configured to at least partially encircle an upper portion of the garment, a garment port arranged on or adjacent to the collar forming a channel between the inner surface and the outer surface of the garment, the garment port having at least three sides, one of the sides being open to form the channel, a flap coupled to the collar and configured to move between a closed configuration covering the port and allowing passage of the safety strap through the channel between the inner surface and the outer surface of the garment and an open configuration allowing removal of the safety strap through the open side of the port, and a closure device arranged with the flap and configured to maintain the flap in the closed configuration.
