Are there standards to govern the installation of horizontal lifelines?
Yes, most countries have recognised standards, which effectively govern the manufacture and installation of horizontal and vertical safety systems and anchorage points. In Europe all anchorage points and horizontal lifeline systems should be designed, manufactured and installed in accordance with EN795. Vertical Safety Systems should conform to EN353-1 and EN353-2. In America OSHA standards govern the manufacture and installation of such products. Canada and Australia also have their own standards for the manufacture of horizontal lifelines.
