KStrong T-Line Safety System

 

New Concept  with Cutting-Edge Equipment for Fall Protection Safety

The T-Line is an innovative system that uniquely combines a lifeline and fall arrest mechanism, ensuring comprehensive fall protection for elevated workers. This system offers unmatched versatility and safety compared to any other temporary fall protection system. It allows both horizontal and vertical movement, providing unprecedented freedom for users to access work areas such as pipes, poles, platforms, walkways, scaffolding, gantry cranes, and loading areas. In the event of a fall, the T-Line significantly reduces the forces exerted on the supporting structure.

Demonstration of Innovation

Concept and Design: The T-Line’s innovation lies in its unique design and dual-functionality. It integrates two lifelines within a single housing unit, allowing independent operation on separate spools. This configuration, typically arranged in a triangular pattern, can span up to 12 meters without intermediate supports, solving the engineering challenges faced by traditional single-line systems. Additionally, in a fall event, the cables equalize, preventing the pendulum swing and slide issues common in conventional setups.

Performance: The system’s performance is enhanced by its ability to allow both horizontal and vertical movement, providing users with unprecedented access to various work areas. Its robust construction using highly durable 316 stainless steel components ensures long-term reliability and safety. Moreover, it is rated for one user up to 140 kg and can be serviced and reused after a fall, offering a sustainable solution for fall protection.

Problem Solving

The T-Line addresses several key problems in fall protection:

1. Limited Mobility: Traditional fall protection systems often restrict movement, limiting access to work areas. The T-Line allows for both horizontal and vertical movement, offering greater flexibility.
2. High Forces on Structures: In a fall event, traditional systems can exert significant forces on the supporting structure. The T-Line’s design reduces these forces, enhancing structural safety.
3. Pendulum Swing and Slide: The equalizing cables prevent dangerous pendulum swings and slides, reducing the risk of injury during a fall.

Innovative Solutions

The T-Line incorporates several innovative solutions:

• Dual Lifelines: Two independent lifelines within a single housing unit allow for greater versatility and safety.
• Triangular Configuration: This design enables spans of up to 12 meters without intermediate supports, overcoming limitations of traditional systems.
• Reusable Design: The ability to service and reuse the system after a fall event makes it a cost-effective and sustainable solution.

New Techniques in Occupational Safety and Health

The T-Line introduces new techniques to the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) industry by providing a versatile and flexible fall protection system that adapts to various environments and requirements. Its design enables easy installation and removal, making it suitable for both permanent and temporary setups. By reducing the forces exerted on structures during a fall and preventing pendulum swings, it enhances overall safety for workers.

Contributions to Occupational Safety and Health

The T-Line significantly contributes to improvements in OSH by:

• Enhancing worker mobility and access to different work areas.
• Reducing the risk of injury from falls by minimizing forces on structures and preventing dangerous pendulum swings.
• Offering a reusable and serviceable solution, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Example: In a recent deployment at a work site, the T-Line allowed workers to safely access elevated platforms with greater ease and mobility. The system’s ability to reduce forces during a fall event ensured the structural integrity of the scaffolding, preventing collapse and subsequent injuries. Workers reported increased confidence and productivity, knowing they were protected by a reliable and innovative fall protection system.

Reduction of Occupational Accidents and Injuries

Since its launch, the T-Line has helped reduce occupational accidents and injuries by providing a more reliable and versatile fall protection solution. Feedback from users indicates a decrease in fall-related incidents and a heightened sense of safety while working at heights.

Conclusion
