Abstract: An alarm activated safety device includes an enclosure. A longitudinal member having an anchorage point for coupling the alarm activated safety device to a work structure and a safety device connection point located thereon extends through the enclosure and is moveable between a first position with the safety device connection point located within the enclosure to a second position with the safety device connection point located at least partially outside of the enclosure to allow for connection of a safety device thereto. An alarm device is coupled to an alarm control circuit. A switch is configured to operate the alarm control circuit. The switch is engaged by the longitudinal member to move the switch from an activated position for the alarm control circuit when the longitudinal member is in the first position to a deactivated position for the alarm control circuit when the longitudinal member is in the second position.
