Horizontal Safety Systems

Evolution™ Horizontal Lifeline System

Evolution is ideal for work on roofs or
overhead cranes, operations in aircraft
hangars, bridge maintenance or loading
docks, railcar, arenas, rigging,
warehouse distribution, piperacks,
and a wide variety of other scenarios.

Installation options cover a wide range of roof types,
materials and orientations. Below are some of the more
common applications of the evolution horizontal lifeline system.

• The Evolution™ horizontal lifeline system is a permanent low tension, multi-span lifeline used for fall protection on elevated horizontal surfaces
• Fully engineered system will allow up to 5 users traverse from one extremity to another in a truly "hands-free" environment
• For work on roofs or overhead cranes, operations in aircraft hangars, bridge maintenance or loading docks, railcar, arenas-rigging, warehouse distribution, piperacks - All activities calling for many professionals to work at a height
• Easily installed, the system is particularly flexible for companies seeking the protection of their workplaces without any damage to the buildings or the structures into which the lifeline has to be incorporated
• Specially designed computer program simulates the necessary clearances and possible heights of fall, this design software validates the compatibility of the structures with the lifelines no matter how complex
• Stainless steel components reduce premature weakening from corrosion and maintains the strength and durability for longevity
• The systems shuttle provides hands-free bypass of the intermediates and maximum freedom of movement, allowing user to attach or detach from the lifeline at any point along the system
• The intermediate bracket can be installed in many different configurations (on the ground, at various heights on the wall, etc.) and at regular intervals, to ensure the optimum distribution of forces along the lifeline. It is shaped specifically so as to allow the automatic passage of the shuttle without the user ever having to disconnect from the lifeline
• The corner brackets patented flexible cable guide design allows for any possible curve to be forged to follow the users movement as closely as possible
• The LEAP (linear energy absorption product) is a 4-in-1 system; an in-line shock absorber, system tensioner, tensioning indicator and an impact indictor
• A series of engineered roof stanchions are also available that can be used for most corrugated steel, wood and built-up roofs for added system flexibility
• Meets or exceeds all applicable industry standards including OSHA and ANSI.
  

The heart of the profession may concern manpower safety but Sala has also opted for the development of the design quality of its permanent systems. This approach, in addition to guaranteeing optimum safety, makes it possible to have the systems disappear entirely into the environment. This is particularly the case with the new Evolution™ lifeline, capable of entering architectural designs that are particularly daring and innovating without ever putting the safety of the workers connected to the lifeline in second place.

When anchored to the building, the Evolution™ lifeline offers great freedom of movement to personnel requiring working at a height to accomplish their jobs. DBI-SALA has designed Evolution™ in an innovative frame of mind; it is ideal for every structure, favors movements along the line, protects workers efficiently from falls from a height and is discreet, blending into the building without ever compromising its aesthetics. In addition to its feeling for "sustainable architecture" DBI-SALA confirms its major requirement come from design to manufacturing, all the components of the evolution lifeline are manufactured under the quality control system ISO 9001 and undergo stringent inspection.

In addition, the line has been designed in compliance with international safety standards (EN795 class C - ANSI Z359.1 - CSA Z259.16 - AS/NZ S1891.4 part 2 & 4).
