A fall protection device for a user working on horizontal surfaces in construction sites, which can adopt two end positions: an operating protection position and a non-operating storage position. The device has a mast releasably couplable at the lower end to a fixed element of the construction with the possibility of pivoting on its own vertical shaft; an arm at a first end of an articulated joint articulated with the end of the upper portion of the mast, the second end thereof being free and the arm configured to receive in an area of the second end the coupling of fastening and attachment for the user; a strut with a first end articulately joined to the arm and with a second end to be fastened on a point of the upper portion of the mast under the end of the upper portion where the mast is articulated with the arm.

A protective device to prevent persons from falling has a base and an anchor mast system in connection with the base. On a free upper end of the anchor mast system, personal protective equipment (PPE) is fastened at an anchor point. To increase stability, the anchor mast system is provided with a lower standing section and a cantilever section. The standing section and the cantilever section are pivoted by a pivot drive relative to each other and relative to the base such that the anchor point in connection with the PPE is displaced downwards and away from the tilting edge of the base. This reduces the total height of the protective device, and increases the stability in the event of load in the region of the anchor point, while the weight of the protective device, particular also of the base, is reduced.

A safety climb attenuation apparatus provides a more robust and visually inspectable apparatus for climbing safety. In an upper bracket, a pivot arm is attached to a base that is disposed upon a structure. The upper bracket includes an attenuation member such as an elastic bushing, mounted on the pivot arm or the base, that resists pivoting of the pivot arm relative to the base when a safety cable attached to the pivot arm causes the pivot arm to pivot. In a lower bracket, a similar attenuation member is attached to a base disposed on the structure, with an anchor bolt connecting the cable to the attenuation member so that the attenuation member resists upward movement of the cable.

An anti-fall safeguard for persons includes a supporting base with which the anti-fall safeguard can be set up on an underlying surface formed of individual concrete slabs. The concrete slabs are provided with upwardly projecting iron reinforcing elements and with an anchor mast system which is connected to the supporting base. Personal protective equipment is fastened to the free, upper end of the anchor mast system. In order to securely fasten the anti-fall safeguard on an underlying surface, two or more cable safeguards are provided, which can be brought into connection with the iron reinforcing elements of the concrete slabs. The cable safeguards can be tensioned and the supporting base is immovably secured on the underlying surface by the tensioning of the cable safeguards.

A force damper arranged to progressively arrest a first force imparted by an object moving in a first direction is disclosed. The force damper includes a housing enclosure having a first housing end and a second housing end. The first housing end includes a first connection point, and the second housing end includes an opening. A driving member is disposed within the housing enclosure and includes a first shaft end, a second shaft end, and a shaft therebetween. The first shaft end includes a stop and the second shaft end includes a second connection point. A compressible member is disposed within the housing enclosure between the stop and the opening. The compressible member is formed from a material that at least partially undergoes plastic deformation when the first force is arrested and imparts a second force on the stop toward first housing end.

A fall arrest system includes a ladder configured to provide access to an elevated structure and a fall arrest device configured to be secured to the elevated structure, the fall arrest device including an upper anchor, the upper anchor including a first end configured to be secured to the elevated structure and a second end distal from the first end.

A ladder dock system can include a ladder dock including a mounting panel and a connecting panel connected to the mounting panel, the ladder dock defining a ladder notch. The ladder dock system can further include a ladder configured to provide access to an elevated structure and sized to rest against the ladder dock, the ladder notch sized to receive and fix a position of the ladder relative to the ladder dock.

A roof truss anchor clamp for use with a worker's safety harness, a safety system incorporating the anchor clamp and a method of using the same. The anchor clamp includes a middle wall positionable adjacent an upper surface of a section of a roof truss rafter; a first side wall extending outwardly from one end of the middle wall; a second side wall extending outwardly from an opposite end of the middle wall; wherein a space is defined between the first and second side walls and the section of the rafter is receivable in the space. A fastener assembly is provided on the anchor clamp for securing the clamp to the rafter. A connector is also engaged with the anchor clamp for securing a worker's safety harness thereto.

A device comprising an angular body including a horizontal arm and a vertical arm configured for being positioned perpendicularly to one another and having an overlapping portion, the horizontal arm comprising a horizontal engagement platform; the vertical arm comprising a vertical engagement platform; the angular body further comprising an aperture adapted to accommodate a suspension cable; and, a width adjusting member.

In some embodiments, the horizontal engagement platform extending along the horizontal arm from an end opposing the overlapping portion to a point spaced from the vertical arm. Additionally or alternatively, the vertical engagement platform extending along the vertical arm from an end opposing the overlapping portion to a point spaced from the horizontal arm.

An anchorage assembly including first and second plates that are slidably movable relative to each other, each plate comprising an upper head with an outwardly-extending flange, and the first plate including at least one spreader ramp positioned in an upper portion of the first plate.
