Abstract: A weight bearing fall protection connector includes a first connection member configured to attach the connector to a piece of fall protection equipment, and a second connection member configured to attach the connector to another piece of all equipment, with the connection members fixed to each other to transfer the weight of a worker in a fall event and for movement relative to each other between a ready position and a fall position. The connector further includes a breakable component having a retaining condition wherein the component maintains the members in a ready position and broken condition wherein the component allows the members to move to their fall position. The connector further includes a wireless fall indicator including a wireless transmitter and a switch configured to activate the wireless transmitter in response to movement of the members from the ready position to the fall position.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing fault protection on direct current (DC) feeds to various engine or generator set components are provided. In some embodiments, generator set includes a ground fault device arranged between a DC power distribution circuit and a subsystem of the generator set. The ground fault device is configured to detect a fault condition based on a comparison of a first current in a first wire with a second current in a second wire between the DC power distribution circuit and the subsystem. In response to detecting the fault condition, the ground fault device is configured to disconnect the subsystem.

Abstract: A cylindrically rolled energy absorber (10) is provided to absorb the energy of a user's fall from a worksite and includes a strip (18) of bi-layered webbing defining two parallel rolls (22, 24) of webbing centered on a central axis (40), with the width of the strip (18) in each roll (22, 24) extending parallel to the central axis (40). The strip (18) includes two layers (42, 44) of webbing joined together over the length of the strip by tear-apart connections (46). Each end (36, 38) of the strip (18) has end portions (54, 56) of each the layers (42, 44) that are separated from each other. A first connector loop (26) extends from the roll (22) and is fixed to a first end portion (54, 56) from end (36) of the strip and to a second end portion (54, 56) from the other end (38) of the strip (18).
