Oil & Gas Fall Protection

Horizontal Lifeline Systems (HLL)

A Horizontal Lifeline System provides customers with reliable engineered solutions for employees who are at risk of a fall while working at height. A Horizontal Lifeline System (HLL) includes a flexible line such as wire, rope or cable, with connectors at both ends for securing it horizontally between two anchorages or anchorage connectors.

There are two types of horizontal lifeline applications – permanent and temporary. A permanent horizontal lifeline is installed into a structure as a permanent anchor point. A temporary HLL means the system is easy to install and remove. For versatility, it can also be used on more than one jobsite.  Applications include construction, building and roof maintenance and inspection tasks. Whatever the task, whatever the environment, Safeguard has a suitable fall protection solution available.

For oil and gas applications, vertical, horizontal and overhead cable fall protection systems can be designed to follow the often complex contours found on rigs, pipe racks, flare stacks, derrick ladders and gantries. These systems have proven reliability in the worst climatic and environmental conditions, both onshore and offshore.

Uni 8™ Overhead Fall Protection System

The Uni 8™ Overhead system meets the needs of transport and industrial customers including trucks, trains and aircraft, crane walkways, loading bays and drilling rigs. This system supports heavy fall arrest loads and controlled rate descent devices; it ensures free and unhindered movement for workers when carrying out work at height.

ManSafe SRLs

The ManSafe Sealed SRLs (self retracting lifelines/inertia reels) provide the perfect fall protection solution for use in and around drilling platforms such as on the derrick or rig crown and ideally for all offshore work. Standard ManSafe SRLs feature a user friendly, 100% reliable locking mechanism, which needs only a visual, audible and tactile inspection on an annual basis. Their user-friendly modern design means the inspection and maintenance can conveniently be done onsite. This saves both time and expense by avoiding offsite recalibration/maintenance because the devices can remain on the rig.

Vertical Lifeline Systems (VLL)

A vertical lifeline system is made of a flexible line such as wire, rope or cable, with a connector at the upper end to allow a fall arrester device to connect the worker to the system. The arresting device automatically follows the user during the climb and locks onto the cable in the event of a fall, allowing the user to regain their footing.
