ABSTRACT:
A safety restraint system for a worker on an elevated structure has an elongated cable extending between cable supports spaced apart along the structure. The worker has a lanyard or line attached to a connector encircling the cable, whereby the worker can move along the support or ledge while restrained against falling. The connector includes a ring element with a radial slot wider than the transverse thickness of a support plate at each cable support to enable the ring element to pass through the cable support without being disconnected from cable. The slot is narrower than the cable thickness so that it is impossible for the worker to pull the ring element to draw the slot over the cable. Each ring element is slidably movable along the cable system to remove the ring from the cable system, and retractable stop means are provided at the endmost cable support to prevent inadvertent removal of a ring element from the cable system.
