Secure Bridge Edges, Prioritize Worker Safety: Guardian Fall Protection Bridge Guard 2-Way Topper (04728)
Bridge construction and maintenance projects come with inherent fall hazards. The Guardian Fall Protection Bridge Guard 2-Way Topper (04728) is a vital component of the Bridge Guard System, offering reliable fall arrest capabilities for workers on leading edges or working over water.
Why Choose the Guardian Fall Protection Bridge Guard 2-Way Topper?
-
Enhanced Fall Arrest Performance: Designed to absorb the energy generated during a fall arrest, this topper minimizes fall arrest forces when used with the Bridge Guard System. This protects workers from serious injuries in case of an accidental fall.
-
Durable Construction: Built for demanding construction environments, the topper is crafted from high-strength, shock-absorbing steel. This ensures reliable performance and long-lasting service life.
-
Versatile Two-Way Configuration: The 2-way design allows for connecting lanyards and lifelines from two directions. This increased flexibility provides workers with greater freedom of movement and easier connection points within the system.
-
FME Champion: Dropped objects pose a significant safety hazard on construction sites. By ensuring workers are securely connected to the lifeline system, the Bridge Guard 2-Way Topper helps to minimize the risk of dropped tools and dropped workers, promoting FME compliance and a safer work environment.
How Does it Work?
The 2-Way Topper sits on top of a Bridge Guard System post. Upon activation during a fall arrest, the topper's shock-absorbing steel components deform and distribute the fall forces. This process minimizes the impact on the worker's body, reducing the risk of serious injuries. The two-way configuration allows for connecting a worker's lanyard or lifeline from either side of the post,
