Safety slings

Safety slings are one of the key personal protective equipment when working at height. They are a component of the containment complex, positioning system and emergency evacuation in the event of an emergency: fire, destruction of buildings, earthquakes. Their main purpose is to connect the anchor line with the safety ammunition of an employee who carries out repair, cleaning, construction work at high-rise facilities in order to ensure his safety.

What is a safety lanyard

Safety slings are mandatory parts of the safety belt, the design of which provides for the presence of a halyard. This is a flexible element, presented in the form of a rope or cable, which can be made of different materials. The choice of material for manufacturing depends on the purpose of the halyard, to which carabiners are attached at both ends. This makes it possible to securely fix the worker on the support.

Insurance slings of some models in their configuration have shock absorbers. These parts are designed to reduce dynamic loading in case a fall is unavoidable. So, shock absorbers soften the moment of stopping when falling. When working at height, installers use safety ropes made of polyamide.

Where and for what is it used

Safety ropes should only be used for their intended purpose and only for the work for which they are functionally designed to ensure safety. In addition, carrying out work in which it is necessary to use safety ropes is possible only by adult workers who have undergone special training.

When using safety lines, it is important to check their compatibility with other parts of the belay. To ensure safety, safety ropes must be used in conditions where it is impossible to get on them with acids, splashes of hot metal, open flames, alkalis and solvents.

Insurance slings should be protected from cuts and other mechanical damage. In case of damage, the ropes must be disposed of. Such parts are not repaired, but immediately replaced with new ones.

Kinds

When classifying insurance ropes, several types of specifications can be distinguished.

According to the type of manufacture, the slings are divided into:

● rope;

● tape;

● rope.

According to the method of application, the following slings can be distinguished:

● to limit. They do not allow the worker to leave the safe zone, in which there is no risk of injury, falling or getting burned;

● for positioning. They are used in cases where the work involves working with both hands. In such cases, the ropes guarantee a secure and strong fixation in a stable position;

● for depreciation. Such models are used to mitigate dynamic impact when falling. These slings are equipped with mechanisms with shock absorbers and are used for technological and construction work at high altitudes.

If we classify insurance slings according to the material from which they are made, the following types are distinguished:

● steel. This is the most durable type that can be used when working with fire. Also, he is not afraid of damage by sharp edges of roofs;

● textile. This is the most traumatic rope, as it is very light and soft. However, it is considered the most versatile, as it is resistant to moisture and temperature extremes;

● tape. It is used for electrical work, but it is very afraid of the sharp edges of roofs;

● chain. This option, like the steel one, is suitable for work involving the use of fire;

● rope. Such slings are used not only for electrical installation, but also for work in wells and pits due to its strength.
