  • Patent number: 9732531
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to a operator selectable, variable-height attachment point system for a safety harness, where the attachment point is disposed on a radial support member that can be reversibly coupled to a vertical support member, and where the attachment point height can be selected by the operator by reversing a coupled orientation of the radial support member to the vertical support member.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.

  • Patent number: 8902074
    Abstract: A safety harness includes at least one of integrally formed electrical conductors or optical conductors. The conductors can be energized by a replaceable electrical supply. An electrical or an optical sensor can couple an associated signal to sensing circuitry. The sensing circuitry responds to variations in the signal as the condition of the harness changes. A fault indicating output device, such as an audible or visual indicating device, carried on the harness can alert a user to a potential harness failure. Harness condition can be transmitted wirelessly to a displaced monitoring site.

  • Publication number: 20140060967
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a fall protection system including a manually-operable locking assembly releasably coupled to a corner casting of an ISO Standard shipping container, a safety lanyard extending from the locking assembly and connected to a user-worn harness via a connecting device. In an illustrative example, multiple simultaneous points of connection may be established with one or more corner castings to provide securement when moving along or climbing shipping containers. In another illustrative example, the lanyard may be connected to a cable and trolley system for mobility along one or more shipping container surfaces. The cable may be oriented horizontally or vertically to permit horizontal or vertical travel of the user. In some implementations, the locking assembly may employ a twist-lock structure. In an illustrative example, the locking assembly may releasably couple to the corner casting without the use of additional tools or hardware.
