Safety apparatus for arresting the fall of a worker

A safety apparatus for use by a worker on an elevated structure for resting the fall of the worker should they fall, the apparatus comprising:

• at least two support posts having an upper end and a lower end supported on the structure and the posts being spaced apart from each other on the structure, each support post having a central web having a first end and a second end and a flange at each end of the web extending transverse to the web;
• a clamp on the lower end of each support cost for clamping the cost to the structure, wherein each clamp comprises a base plate fast with the support post, a secondary plate or clamping plate spaced beneath the base plate, and fastening elements for drawing the two plates towards each other with a member of the structure firmly clamped therebetween;
• at least one connecting formations towards the upper end of each post for connecting a safety line thereto or passing a safety line therethrough;
• and
• an overhead safety line extending between said posts.

• at least two support posts having an upper end and a lower end supported on the structure and spaced apart from each other on the structure, each support post having a central web and transverse flanges projecting outwardly from both sides of the web at each end of the web;
• a clamp on the lower end of each support post for clamping the post to the structure, the clamp comprising in turn abase plate fast with the support post, a secondary plate or clamping plate spaced beneath the base plate, and fastening elements for drawing the two plates towards each other with a member of the structure firmly clamped there between, and wherein the base plate projects laterally outwardly from the post on at least two opposed sides thereof and the base plate defines at least one slot aperture on each said opposed side;
• connecting formations towards the upper end of each post for connecting a safety line thereto or passing a safety line there through;
• an overhead safety line extending between said posts at a height of 1.7 to 2.0 metres above the member on which the posts are mounted;
• and
• a harness and lead for at least one worker which can be operatively connected to the safety line.
