Tip of the Week No. 288 - 07/19/10 - Horizontal Lifelines
Short-term horizontal lifeline systems are intended for a few days' to weeks' use. For example, these may be a horizontal rope lifeline and rope tensioer that can be installed with a wrench in minutes. Positioned between vertical support columns or fabricated end and midsupport posts, the system can provide protected horizontal mobility on roofs, tanks and piperacks.
