Abstract
This research project has been undertaken to develop a mechanical solution that will automatically
arrest the fall of a person working at height in any attitude while allowing unrestricted movement in
normal use and to simplify the device set up.
Current fall arrest equipment used in industry are of a cumbersome design with limited application that
can lead to potentially serious injury to the user.
Following a review of fall arrest systems used in industrial and recreational applications, a
methodology for the design, prototype construction and testing procedures was
established.
This dissertation documents the process used to produce a working back up fall arrest device in the
following areas: - Conceptual design. - Construction of a prototype. - Testing of the prototype. - Evaluation of the design and testing.
