Overview

The Bailey 15m rope lifeline is a fall restraint system that, when used according to the instructions, prevents the user reaching the edge of the structure. The 12mm kernmantle rope incorporates a built in rope grab, an anchorage eyelet and a sealed end stop. The 15m rope lifeline is a type 1 fall arrestor and has been independently tested to AS/NZS 1891.

Fall restraint is about preventing a fall before it starts. A lifeline like this is anchored at one end and runs across the roof or work area, and the worker attaches to the rope grab. Because the grab travels along the rope, the worker can move across the roof while staying connected, and the system is set up so the working line keeps them short of the edge.

What You Need to Complete the Job

Attach the lifeline to a roof anchor and connect the worker with a full body roofers harness, using a screwgate karabiner for the connections. See the Safety Equipment range for the full kit. Set the system up so the working length keeps the user short of the edge, and follow the manufacturer instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fall restraint and fall arrest?

Fall restraint stops a worker from reaching a position where a fall could happen, while fall arrest is designed to stop a fall already in progress. This lifeline is described as a fall restraint system, meaning it is set up so the worker cannot physically reach the edge, which is the preferred approach where the layout allows it.

How does the rope grab work?

The built in rope grab slides along the kernmantle rope as the worker moves, and locks to the rope when a sudden load is applied. That lets the worker travel across the roof while staying connected, and holds them in place if they move too far or slip.

What is a type 1 fall arrestor?

Type 1 is the classification the listing gives for this lifeline, and it has been independently tested to AS/NZS 1891. The type classification reflects the energy absorption and locking behaviour of the device, and it should be matched to the rest of the certified system.
