Reply To: Important safety consultation – Industrial Fall-arrest systems and devices
(As it is written above I don’t know how a secondary system is intended to improve safety).
Is there a history of mechanical failure of pole belts in the industry? Most of the incidents I can recall are about incorrect implementation of the system (particularly failing to correctly secure the strap connectors to the harness which is covered in point b) above). In my opinion addition of a secondary system could very well increase the number of these incidents as the extra complexity adds to the possibility.
