Fall protection systems come in different shapes and forms. The key to choosing the right fall protection system for your company is determining the equipment that accurately fits the requirements of the job and the working conditions. Fixed life line systems are often used in factories and construction sites where the workers will be attached to the system by using anchor points and wire ropes. They are used to protect workers from falls. While choosing between horizontal and vertical fixed life line systems, it is critical to have a clear understanding of the type of application and the protection needed. Environmental conditions and location of the industry are also important factors to be considered. 

Fixed life line systems are designed to provide mobility to workers as they are lightweight, extremely portable and are easy to install. They are attached on buildings and other structures where workers are exposed to the risk of falling from heights while performing their work. Fixed life line systems ensure that only minimum damage occurs in the event of a fall. Fixed life line systems are much less robust than rail systems. They are affected by dirt and salt which demands frequent maintenance when installed in dirty industrial conditions.

It is important to identify the areas of the fixed life line system which require regular cleaning, inspection or access for maintenance. They should be installed and tested by a trained professional. There are many applications for the fixed life line systems including roof access, window cleaning, industrial and commercial rooftop access, wastewater treatment, sloped roof surfaces, fixed anchor points, stations, decks, etc.
