Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the second edition of CSA Z259.13, Manufactured horizontal lifeline systems<\/em>. It supersedes the previous edition published in 2004 under the title of Flexible horizontal lifeline systems. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Standard provides performance requirements for manufactured horizontal lifeline systems designed to arrest the accidental fall of an individual working from height. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Changes to this edition include the following: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) consistent use of the term horizontal lifeline system (HLL system); <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) limiting the scope to include only those HLL systems where the energy absorber deploys to 80% or less (i.e., the energy absorber does not bottom-out); <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) applicability of the Standard to single span HLL system only; <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) updating of the reference publications; <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

e) updating of the definitions; and <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

f) revisions to the test procedures. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the Canadian government departments responsible for occupational health and safety. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.1<\/p>\n

This Standard specifies requirements related to the performance, design, testing, labelling, and provision of instructions for manufactured single-span horizontal lifeline systems (HLL systems) (see Figure 1). These HLL systems are a component of a complete system for fall arrest. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.2<\/p>\n

This Standard does not apply to <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) HLL systems<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

i) with span lengths greater than 18.3 m (60 ft); <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ii) with more than one span (see Annex A); <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

iii) that support more than two workers; <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

iv) that are custom designed for limited or site-specific applications as designed in accordance<\/p>\n

with CSA Z259.16; <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

v) with slopes greater than 5\u00b0 from the horizontal; <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

vi) with no horizontal lifeline energy absorber (HLLEA); <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

vii) used for travel restraint; <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

viii) used for work positioning; or <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ix) that incorporate HLLEA that deploy more than 80% when tested as specified in Clause 8.3.2.2;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) guardrail or hand line systems that are made of flexible materials such as cables, chains, or ropes; or <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) rigid horizontal lifeline systems such as rigid rail and beam systems. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.3<\/p>\n

This Standard does not cover the design of HLL system anchorages covered by CSA Z259.16. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.4<\/p>\n

This Standard does not address any fall-protection equipment attached to the HLL system. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.5<\/p>\n

In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.6<\/p>\n

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
