A horizontal lifeline system is an essential fall protection solution that allows workers to move safely along an elevated work area while remaining securely attached to a cable or rail system anchored between two points. This setup provides continuous fall protection as workers traverse rooftops, crane rails, bridges, or other elevated surfaces. By acting as a secure anchor point, horizontal lifelines enable mobility without compromising safety.
