Avoid Swing Falls 0
Swing falls may occur when the anchorage point is located in an area that is not directly above the worker. With fixed anchorage points, workers may need to move a considerable distance from the anchor. Even if all parts of the system work in unison to prevent a free fall, the worker will swing back to the anchor point. If an obstacle exists between the worker and the anchor point, the worker may impact this obstruction with considerable force. Because Tether Track® is designed to move with the worker and stay directly overhead, chances of a swing fall injury occurring are greatly reduced.

Costs Of A Fall 0
When examining all of the potential costs associated with a fall, Tether Track® represents an effective "insurance policy," offering tremendous value. The direct costs of a fall can be seen in escalating medical insurance premiums and workers' compensation costs. An OSHA investigation could occur, resulting in fines. But, there are indirect costs, such as lost-time charges and the time spent to hire and/or train a replacement worker. Some costs are difficult to measure, but there is no guarantee that an employee who suffers a fall will ever be as productive as before when they return to work. It is only human nature to worry about a fall after experiencing such an event, rather than focusing on the job at hand, if they return to work at all.

Less Fall Clearance Required 0
While Wire Rope systems require additional fall clearance due to the initial sag of the wire. By eliminating both the initial and dynamic sag distance, the Gorbel® Tether Track® Rigid Rail Fall Arrest System stops the fall in a much shorter distance, making it the best option for low-headroom applications. With a shorter overall fall distance than wire rope, less clearance is required from the anchor point to the floor below.
Less Forces On Building Structures 0
Due to the nature of wire rope systems, it is often very difficult to find a suitable anchor point without significantly reinforcing existing structures. This is primarily due to forces being exerted in both horizontal and vertical directions on these types of systems. With rigid rail systems, the forces are much more controlled and the systems are often installed without structural modifications.
Longer Distances Between Supports 0
A rigid anchor system allows you to cover greater lengths between supports without sag. This reduces both material and installation costs for your system, and also makes installation easier with fewer restrictions for where supports will be located.

Peace Of Mind 0
Utilizing Tether Track® as part of a complete fall arrest system provides an optimal solution to protect your workers. With so many companies touting strict policies regarding safety, Tether Track® fits perfectly as part of a safety-conscious culture. Providing maximum protection for workers at heights with quality equipment designed specifically for the task is reassuring to all levels of the organization.

Reduced Risk Of Secondary Fall Injuries 0
Injuries occurring after the fall, such as swinging into obstacles, are minimized with an anchorage system that stays firm and minimizes total fall distance. When a worker falls on a wire rope system, the wire's sag will make the trolley slide to the center of the nearest two supports, creating a risk for the fallen worker to collide with nearby obstacles as the trolley centers itself.
Reduce Fall Distance 0
When the decision of choosing an anchorage point is left entirely to the worker, low points that are easily accessible may seem to be the best option. Many times, these points may be at waist or feet level, thus adding to the overall fall distance that could occur. If a lower level is located in close proximity, the worker could strike this level as part of the fall. Tether Track® is designed for maximum protection, as the anchor point is kept well overhead, thus reducing overall fall distance.
Safer For Multiple Workers 0
When a worker harnessed to a wire rope system falls, any slack on the wire is eliminated. The result could be a sudden pull on the rope that can have a jarring effect on other workers using the same system, putting them at risk. The risk is accentuated when more than one worker is attached to a wire rope system between the same support centers. If one worker falls, the chances are great that all other workers attached in the same support range will also experience a fall. Rigid rail systems provide uninterrupted protection for additional workers on the same system without putting them in harm's way. Thus, each worker is responsible for his/her own actions and will not be severely impacted should a co-worker fall.

What Ansi Recommends 0
In addition to federal regulations, there are voluntary consensus standards regarding fall protection set forth by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA). ANSI and CSA specify product performance and testing criteria for personal fall arrest equipment. While not enforceable by law, these standards typically should be adhered to, as they are often adopted by OSHA and other regulatory agencies.
What Osha Requires 0
Under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR), the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) assures and enforces safe and healthful working conditions for general industry, construction, and maritime trades. Employers have the duty of providing their workers with a place of employment free from recognized safety and health hazards.OSHA enforces regulation 1926, Subpart M, for construction and regulation 1910, Subparts D and F, for general industry, which specify when fall protection is required. These regulations must be followed under penalty of law. To avoid potential fines and citations, be sure to carefully assess your workplace environment and potential fall hazards.

Why Choose Tether Track 0
Gorbel®'s Tether Track® Rigid Rail Fall Arrest systems are a reliable, cost-effective way to reduce the risk of injury in elevated work environments. Systems are available for both single and multiple workers. Unlike some traditional horizontal lifeline systems, Tether Track® enables workers to effortlessly pass one another without disconnecting from the system-minimizing the risk of a fall during the reattachment process and maximizing overall user acceptance.The building block for Gorbel®'s rigid anchor system is our enclosed track design, which is engineered for easy movement. The cold-rolled steel track keeps dirt and dust from settling on the rolling surface, allowing for smoother, more consistent ease of movement than an I-beam with no need for cleaning or maintenance of the track.The track also features a running flange with a 2-degree taper to keep the trolley centered. That allows the trolley and attached lanyard to easily follow the worker, rather than forcing them to pull free a trolley that has become stuck.Our rigid rail anchor systems are designed by qualified engineers to exceed the OSHA 1926 Subpart M Construction standard as well as ANSI Z359 Fall Protection Code using a maximum off-vertical loading of 30 degrees. This strict design criteria means that our track supports the full impact of falls vertically and also at a 30-degree angle. That's important for applications where the risk is to fall off the side of an object rather than straight down.
Worker Protection 0
It is up to the user to choose an adequate anchor point while on the job. Using Tether Track® takes the guesswork out of the decision. Tether Track® is designed and built for fall arrest, plain and simple. With Tether Track® in place, workers are no longer inclined to choose an anchor point that is designed for something other than personal protection.
