Trench Safety Anchor
Why The Trench Safety Anchor Was Needed
In the field of construction, there are frequently job-site requirements for workers at different elevations. Such workers are required to wear full life-line harnesses attached to shock absorption or fall-protection. Lanyard or lifelines are needed in order to prevent injury or death from falling due to accident.
The Problem
One problem with how current lifelines and web lanyards are used is that workers tend to attach them and hook to any anchoring point that appears secure. For example, a worker may attach one to a hook on a backhoe. And while the attachment might be secure, a chance exists that an operator will move the backhoe without noticing the lanyard attached to it...and the worker attached to the lifeline.
