Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SKYLOTEC Temporary Horizontal Lifeline used for?
It provides a temporary horizontal anchorage line for workers undertaking suitable working-at-heights tasks. It can be used where a permanent lifeline system is unavailable or impractical.

How does a temporary horizontal lifeline work?
The system is installed between suitable anchorage points and tensioned in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Workers connect using compatible fall protection equipment, allowing movement along the approved working area.

Can the lifeline be moved between worksites?
Yes. Temporary horizontal lifelines are designed for installation, removal and relocation, provided the system is inspected and each new installation meets the manufacturer's requirements.

Can multiple workers use the lifeline at the same time?
Only where the specific system is rated for multiple users. The permitted number of users and any restrictions must be confirmed from SKYLOTEC's instructions for this model.

Does the lifeline require permanent anchor points?
It requires suitable, adequately rated anchorage points, but these do not necessarily need to be part of a permanently installed lifeline system. Anchorage selection and suitability must be assessed before use.

Can the lifeline be used for fall arrest?
Only as part of a compatible fall protection system configured for the intended application. Fall clearance, line deflection, anchorage loads and connecting equipment must be assessed before use.

Does the lifeline require regular inspection?
Yes. The lifeline, tensioning components and connectors must be inspected before use and undergo periodic competent-person inspections in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable workplace requirements. Equipment involved in a fall arrest event must be removed from service pending appropriate assessment.
