A post anchor is provided for securing a post within a poured concrete slab. The post anchor comprises a socket having a first cavity sized to receive the post therein. A jacket member is adapted to mount over at least a portion of the socket. At least one tensile member is mounted to, and extending from, the jacket member. The jacket and tensile members function to reinforce the socket and to distribute any forces exerted upon the post anchor further into the surrounding concrete. The socket may be provided in a variety of heights, to allow the post anchor to be easily adapted to a variety of slab depths.

A load indicator includes a first connector, a second connector arranged such that pulling the first connector and the second connector in opposite directions applies tension across the load indicator, a fastener structured to attach the first connector to the second connector, a first spring structured to apply bias to the fastener to pull the first and second connectors together, and a moveable member disposed between the first and second connectors and around the fastener. When the tension across the load indicator is at or above a predetermined tension level, the first spring compresses allowing the moveable member to spin freely about the fastener. When the tension across the load indicator is below the predetermined tension level, the first spring pulls the first and second connectors together such that the moveable member cannot spin freely about the fastener.

A cover for an energy absorber for use in a horizontal lifeline system includes four cover pieces structured to interlock together to form the cover. Each cover piece includes an interlocking section structured to slide into the interlocking section of another one of the cover pieces, a number of tabs, and a number of tab receivers. The number of tabs are structured to snap together with the tab receivers of another one of the cover pieces and the number of tab receivers are structured to snap together with the tabs of another one of the cover pieces.

The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.

A horizontal lifeline system includes a first termination arrangement structured to attach to a first anchor point, a second termination arrangement structured to attach to a second anchor point, a horizontal lifeline cable coupled to the first termination arrangement, a rope length adjuster attached to the horizontal lifeline cable and having a housing through which the horizontal lifeline cable can be pulled to adjust the length of the horizontal lifeline system and apply tension to the horizontal lifeline cable, and a tension limiting ratchet coupled between the second termination arrangement and the rope length adjuster and being structured to be ratcheted to increase tension applied to the horizontal lifeline cable and to provide an indication and deter further ratcheting when the tension applied to the horizontal lifeline cable reaches a predetermined tension limit.

A climbing apparatus for safely climbing on a roof of a trailer, the climbing apparatus comprising a ladder portion, a upper pivot portion for pivoting an upper portion of the ladder portion, the upper pivot portion being secured to the trailer to allow movements of the ladder portion between a work configuration and a stored configuration next to a wall of the trailer and a movable support adapted to maintain the ladder portion in the work configuration by providing increased angle between the ladder portion and the wall of the trailer.

A traveller for safety line for a fall arrest system has a slot extending to the exterior of the traveller and a safety line locating shuttle provided on-board the traveller wherein the safety line locating shuttle is movable relative to the slot along a predetermined path in a direction across the slot. This aids in accurate positioning of the safety line with respect to the traveller. The slot can be defined between opposed slot edges which are movable relative to one another to reconfigure the slot.

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 telescopic ladder system includes a lower base configured to be connected to a ladder-supporting portion of a vehicle, and a ladder including a base section and a fly section operatively connected to the base section and slidable relative thereto. A security railing is connected to a distal end of the fly section. At least one safety line is attached to the ladder. A first actuator selectively sets an inclination angle of the ladder relative to the lower base. A second actuator selectively extends the ladder by sliding the fly section relative to the base section. A safety system and a method for securing an operator atop a vehicle or van are also disclosed.

The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.
