An anchor device may be connected to a personal safety line used by a worker, who typically is wearing a safety harness to which the line is attached. The worker may insert an anchoring mechanism portion of the anchoring device into a connection point, then activate a locking feature of the anchoring mechanism to affix it to the connection point. The locking feature comprises multiple jaws which are coupled to each other and to the apparatus so that they expand when tension is applied to the connection point of the personal safety line. The worker, secured in case of fall by the personal safety line, may move about freely, but should a fall occur, the added tension on the personal safety line will increase the force locking the mechanism to the connection point, thus increasing safety. To release the anchoring mechanism, the worker disengages or otherwise unlocks the anchoring mechanism.

Systems, devices and methods, etc., comprising anchors configured to attach to standing seams such as those typically present on metal roofs. The systems, etc., provide benefits such as improved anchorage points for personal fall protection anchorage devices and variability of and security of attachment to the standing seams. The personal fall protection anchorage devices can comprise a retention plate configured to hold the personal fall protection device to a central portion of the retention plate and having at least two y-axis spaced-apart slot configured to immobily hold opposed standing seam graspers each comprising at least two opposed grasping elements sized and configured to immobily squeeze standing seams of the metal roof.

A device for releasably retaining a carabiner, said device includes: an elongate body with a jaw member hingedly attached at a first position thereto, said jaw member being movable towards and away from the elongate body in a first plane; a first projecting member and a second projecting member extending outwardly from a first side of the elongate body and away from the first plane; a third projecting member extending outwardly from a first side of the jaw member and away from the first plane, wherein the first projecting member and the second projecting member are configured to receive a spine of a carabiner inserted therebetween and whereupon third projecting member is configured to urge a gate of the carabiner toward the spine of the carabiner.

An anchor cart assembly can include a cart including a frame defining at least one front foot and at least one rear foot, the at least one front foot and the at least one rear foot defining a bottom plane of the frame; and an axle assembly mounted to the frame, the axle assembly being repositionable relative to the frame between a raised position and a lowered position, the axle assembly positioned above the bottom plane in the raised position, at least a portion of the axle assembly positioned below the bottom plane in the lowered position; and a load supported by the cart.

An attachment device to an anchor point comprises a wire-like element provided with two ends a first end of which has a first ring. A clamp has two ends a first end of which can be inserted in the first ring. The second clamp end presents a second cross-section larger than the first cross-section. The first clamp end defines a through hole receiving a rope supporting a user. The second end of the wire-like element is fixed to the clamp via a first attachment point between the through hole and the second clamp end. A cord has a first end fixed to the clamp via a second attachment point and a second end with a second ring.

A case or support cradle (10) for a fall arrest device has a shape or configuration enabling rolling of the case or cradle (10) along an arcuate path. The rollable case or cradle (10) allows the fall arrest device received therein to smoothly follow a user's movements around a work site, thereby protecting the device from damage due to dragging or scraping along a floor surface.

A fall hazard safety system includes first and second base units movable with respect to each other. First and second support members are secured to and extend from the first and second base units, respectively. A crossbeam is securable to the first and second support members. A tether is secured to the crossbeam and is securable to a harness for harnessing an individual when support on an elevated surface and for reducing a fall hazard of the individual falling from the elevated surface.

A device may include an anchor point operationally connected to a rebar, an E-clamp coupled to the anchor point, and a forcing handle configured to tighten the E-clamp to the rebar.

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 safety restraint system for use by a worker working in a bucket, including a primary tether line that securely encircles the bucket at a position adjacent to the upper rim thereof; at least a pair of straps connected to the tether line on opposite sides of the bucket; a safety harness or aerial belt adapted to be worn by the worker and having at least a pair of clips attached thereto; and at least a pair of straps that interconnect the harness buckles to the straps on the tether line, thereby interconnecting the harness to the tether line.
