ABSTRACT:
A safety attachment, for use by a worker in preventing a fall from a beam having four parallel flanges and at least one flat surface extending between two of the flanges, comprising a first main member and a second main member. Each of the main members has a U-bend which extends around one of two opposite flanges. The main members each have a joining member extending across the flat surface. A clamp comprises two parallel members and a peak. The parallel members each have an upper hole and a lower hole. One of the joining members extends through both upper holes, and the other joining member extends through both lower holes. A tether is attached between the worker and the peak of the clamp. The safety attachment slides along the beam following the worker, with the beam flanges remaining trapped within the U-bends. If the worker accidentally fell from the beam, said worker's fall would be stopped by the tether.
