MIO Mechanical Corporation designed a new group of Bi-Directional (BD) rope and cable grabs. These grabs prevent slide along the lifeline in case of a fall. Horizontal lifeline (HLL) fall protection system typically includes: professionally engineered and installed horizontal lifeline, Unitensioner® or other devices that provide line tension and shock absorbing capabilities, anchors meeting OSHA and ANSI requirements, full body harness, lanyard used to attach the worker to the lifeline via hook, ring or other attachment devices.
In the event of a fall, the HLL will deflect forcing workers to slide toward the point of deflection, potentially colliding with each other.
