Abstract: A post-tensioned fall protection system including a beam-column having a first end and a second end; first and second end supports attached to the beam-column; a tensioned cable having a first end connected to the first end support and a second end connected to the second end support; a coupling device for connecting a lanyard to the tensioned cable; and at least one offset bracket attached to the beam-column between the first and second end supports for positioning the tensioned cable at a greater distance with respect to a neutral axis of the beam-column than at the end supports, wherein the coupling device can traverse from the first end of the tensioned cable to the second end of the tensioned cable past the at least one offset bracket.
