A scaffolding assembly is disclosed. The system includes scaffolding poles joints (or fittings) for releasably securing the poles at cross-over points. Each scaffolding joints has an inner body member and two movable outer clamping members to clamp the poles to the body member at the cross-over points. The body member also has as a mounting for a safety connection member which projects laterally the scaffolding poles towards an operative. The safety connection member can be connected to a safety tension member from the operative such that a safety connection point is available at each of the scaffolding joints.

A top bracket for supporting a safety cable of a vertical climbing fall protection system, the bracket including a base plate and a pivotally deflectable plate that is integrally and pivotally connected to the base plate by a neck. The top bracket may also include an abutment plate with a forward abutment surface that is separated from a rearward abutment surface of the pivotally deflectable plate by an elongate gap.

A system and method for restraining movement using a first adapter and a second adapter. The first adapter includes a first body, a first engagement component connected to the first body, and a first fastening component configured to fasten to a first attachment point of an aircraft. The second adapter includes a second body, a second engagement component connected to the second body, and a second fastening component configured to fasten to a second attachment point of the aircraft. The second attachment point is different from the first attachment point. The first and second engagement components are each configured to connect with a harness, and the first fastening component has a physical structure different from a physical structure of the second fastening component.

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.

An anchoring assembly comprises a stud with an external elongate surface carrying a screw thread, and a through tunnel fabricated on the stud intersecting and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the stud; a construct comprising an eyelet enclosing an opening and a pair of holder members extending out from the eyelet; a nut having a sidewall defining an internally threaded passage, the nut carrying a pair of axially aligned and radially extending through holes on the sidewall, the through holes being adjustable to align with the through tunnel forming a continuous passage thereof; and a pivot pin fillable into the passage across the through holes and the through tunnel to lock the nut to the stud. The eyelet is configured to be rotatable around the longitudinal axis of the stud and the locked nut impedes the construct to move along longitudinal axis of the stud.

A portable anchoring apparatus that includes a first connecting arm having a connecting hole, a second connecting arm, a first anchoring arm and a second anchoring arm. The first connecting arm and the second connecting arm are connected in overlap and parallel one to the other by a ratchet mechanism that includes an opening ratchet button. The first connecting arm and the first anchoring arm are connected to each other by an axial connector that has an opening button. The second connecting arm and the second anchoring arm are connected to each other by an axial connector that has an opening button.

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.

A safety anchor apparatus is adapted for use in installation of a perimeter cable fall protection system at a construction site, e.g., involving concrete or masonry wall construction. The safety anchor apparatus may be mounted during construction of the masonry or cement block wall with relative ease and is capable of securing holding the support cable (e.g., steel cable) in a tensioned condition to meet all safety standards with regard to strength, load etc. The safety anchor apparatus is secured to embedded reinforcement bar extending through a column or rows of cement blocks. The safety anchor apparatus is selectively adjustable to accommodate masonry blocks of different sizes which may be used during construction of the support wall. Moreover, the safety anchor apparatus is adjustable to account for variations in wall design and readily deployable about the vertical reinforcement bar during application of the rows of cement blocks.

A top bracket for supporting a safety cable of a vertical climbing fall protection system, the bracket including a base plate and a pivotally deflectable plate that is integrally and pivotally connected to the base plate by a neck. The top bracket may also include an abutment plate with a forward abutment surface that is separated from a rearward abutment surface of the pivotally deflectable plate by an elongate gap.

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.
