Fall Protection Challenge
Users who work on top of earth movers, buses, equipment, trucks and railcars, often outdoors with no overhead structure. External factors like wind and rain further compound the fall hazard faced by these workers. With no overhead structure to anchor a fall protection system and a busy loading or work area an experienced partner in fall protection is a must.
Fall Protection Solution
CAI Safety Systems offers custom freestanding anchor that can support a Fall Arrest System that will provide the extent of coverage you need with minimal interference to your other loading or work operations. Our freestanding anchors and horizontal lifelines meet OSHA, ANSI and MSHA fall protection requirements.
Features & Benefits
Freestanding Anchors
CAI’s freestanding fall protection system is supported from concrete piers. This engineered approach gives you the option of having an outdoor fall arrest system that supports your loading needs.
Easy To Install
To reduce field assembly time, our products are shipped fabricated with detailed assembly instructions. Assembly comprises of steel erection with bolting and clamping of the major components.
Less Is More
Our aluminum truck track has many benefits such as robust construction, light weight and endurance in the outdoor elements. The other major benefit is the long spans we can run between supports. For example we can support a sixty foot track with one anchor, this translates to fewer anchors and footings to the benefit of your bottom line.
Osha & Ansi Compliant
We have an in-house team to engineer and manufacture the freestanding fall arrest system. This means we can monitor the QA and QC throughout the process to make sure the product delivered to your doorstep is safe and meets your specification needs.
System Components
Fall Arrest Anchor: The freestanding anchor provides an overhead means of tie-off to reduce the chances of a swing fall and fall distance.
Retrieval System: Safety starts at the ground level. Our pulley retrieval system allows the user to access the fall arrest system before even attempting to climb the vehicle or equipment that is going to be worked on.
Horizontal Lifeline: This is a rigid track or stainless steel cable lifeline that runs the desired length to allow the user to have access to the work area.
Connecting Means: A trolley that is designed to glide over the rigid or cable horizontal lifeline system. This feature keeps the fall arrest system directly above the user to reduce the chances of a swing fall.
Fall Arrest Device: The self-retracting lifeline is utilized to reduce the arresting forces of the fall on the user and minimize the fall distance.
Full Body Harness: Only a full body harness can be used in a fall arrest system such as the freestanding fall protection system. The harness reduces the forces of the fall on the body and also keeps the user in an upright position when properly worn.
