Figure 8 - Tensioner
D. TWO PERSONS CONNECTED TO THE HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM: When a person falls while
connected to the horizontal lifeline, the system will deflect. If two persons are connected to the same horizontal
lifeline, and one person falls, the second person may be pulled off the working surface due to deflection. The
potential for the second person falling increases as the horizontal lifeline span length increases. The use of
independent horizontal lifeline systems for each person, or shorter span length, is recommended to minimize the
potential of the second person falling.
E. FREE FALL: Whenever possible, locate the
horizontal lifeline such that the user is
restrained from reaching a fall hazard. If rigging
as a restraint system is not possible, rig
system such that the potential free fall is
minimized by positioning the horizontal lifeline
as high and as far from the edge as possible,
and by limiting the lanyard length. Potential free
fall must not exceed 11 ft. (3.4 m).
F. SHARP EDGES: Avoid working where the
connecting subsystem or other system
