In some implementations, a monitoring device associated with a lanyard device may detect that a portion of a strap of the lanyard device has extended from a strap core of the lanyard device. The monitoring device may generate a notification that the portion of the strap has extended from the strap core, wherein the lanyard device is configured to anchor the user to a support structure via the strap, and wherein a sensor within the monitoring device is configured to monitor a position of the strap relative to the strap core. The monitoring device may transmit, to a management device, the notification that the portion of the strap has extended from the strap core, wherein the notification includes an identifier associated with the lanyard device to alert the management device of a hazardous event involving the user.

A releasable sling device includes first, second, and third attachment devices. The first attachment device is configured to an elevating device. The second attachment device is configured to be attached to an object. The third attachment device configured to be attached to a structure. A connection element is connected between the first attachment device and the second attachment device. A securing device has a first end that is connected to the second attachment device and a second end that is connected via a releasable connection device to the third attachment device. A releaser element is connected between the first attachment device and the releasable connection device. The releasable connection device is configured to release the third attachment device from the securing device when the releaser element is pulled away from the releasable connection device with a predetermined force threshold.

A load indicator for use with a fall protection apparatus having a line and a connector for connecting to a user includes a housing having a pass-through opening and a covered indicator region. At least a portion of the housing is configured for connecting to the line. The load indicator also includes a shear pin supported by the housing and extending across the pass-through opening, and a saddle extending across at least a portion of the pass-through opening and supported by at least a portion of the shear pin. The saddle is configured for connecting to at least a portion of the connector. The saddle is movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position when a force exceeding a predetermined threshold value is applied on the saddle causing the shear pin to shear or break. At least a portion of the indicator region is uncovered in the second position of the saddle when the shear pin shears or breaks.

A tether system for a safety line has an elongate guide track and stay elements arranged to move along the guide track and be carried at spaced positions along the length of a tether line. The system is typically employed in a fall arrest or protection system mounted to a structure, having an ascent/descent ladder fixed to the structure, the system including a self-retracting safety line device including a safety line, mounted at height.

Lanyard having at least one belaying strap connected with a swivel connection which comprises two assembly parts able to rotate with respect to one another with a relative rotational movement. The two assembly parts of tubular shape are engaged coaxially in one another, the first outer part having a larger diameter than that of the second inner part. At least one of the parts is provided with a slot or hole for fitting securing means designed to secure the two parts in rotation in the engaged state.

Applications: safety and securing lanyards for via ferrata, caving, mountaineering.

A rope edge protector for protecting a rope as is passes over an edge during rope access and rope rescue is described. The rope edge protector comprises a body with a curved channel portion on an outer surface configured to receive at least one rope, wherein the channel portion is enclosed by a pair of side walls; a first underside surface configured for placement on a first face of an edge; and a second underside surface forming a dihedral angle with the first underside surface and configured for placement on a second face of an edge. An attachment mechanism comprising a strap connects the body to a second body and to a cam for tensioning the strap between the bodies to secure the bodies to opposing edges.

In general, the present invention has to do with a UV reference indicator calibrated to represent the color or shade of a UV reactive dye after a predetermined exposure time to a UV radiation source.

A fall restraint for a worker on a roof comprising a yoke line, wherein a first end of the yoke line is releasably connected to a first building structure and a second end of the yoke line is releasably connected to a second building structure. The fall restraint also comprises a support line, wherein a first end of the support line is slidably connected to the yoke line, and a second end of the support line is connected to a worker harness, wherein the support line is adapted to travel over a ridge line of the roof and at least partially support the weight of the worker.

A system and method for detecting securement of a proximity lanyard system to a bucket anchor in a bucket having a proximity sensor positioned therein. The proximity lanyard system can include an elongated body portion having a first end and a second end; a harness attachment positioned at the first end of the body portion; an anchor attachment positioned at the second end of the body portion; and a sensor substrate section comprising a sensor substrate and being integrated with the second end of the flexible body portion. The proximity sensor can detect the sensor substrate when the anchor attachment is connected to the bucket anchor.

A fall arrest system having elastic properties includes a torso harness system, a tether, and a securement system wherein, during use, the tether detachably couples the torso harness system to the securement system. As such, the fall arrest system is configured to arrest the fall of the user.
