Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces 7.4: 7.4 Vertical anchorage lines or rails on ladders and towers

Vertical anchorage lines or rails give continuous fall protection when climbing ladders or towers, including tower cranes. Systems should comply with AS/NZS 1891 with a suitable harness within its use-by date; the locking device should attach to the harness front point with a lanyard assembly of no more than 300 mm; the connection point should be near the ladder base so the climber connects before ascending and stays connected to a safe disconnection point above; free fall should be limited to 600 mm; and permanent systems should be wire or rail installed to the manufacturer's instructions. After a fall the system should be removed from service and inspected by a competent person before reuse.
