ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for releasable securement to a portion of scaffolding on which a worker wearing a safety restraint member, e.g., safety belt and associated lanyard, will be disposed. The portion of the scaffolding comprises a cylindrical section having a pair of collars disposed on it. Each of the collars defines a channel between it and the cylindrical section. The connector assembly comprises an insert, a first connector pivotally secured by a bolt to the insert, a strap formed of a flexible web of material and having a loop at one end secured to the first connector, and D-ring secured to a loop at the other end of the strap. The insert has a pair of projections, each of which is arranged to be located within a respective one of the channels between the collars and the cylindrical section of the scaffolding to releasably secure the insert in place with respect to the scaffolding. The D-ring serves as a convenient connector for securing the lanyard thereto. A reinforcing pad formed of a wear resistant material is secured to the strap.
