Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline System
Foreword
Section 1.0
The Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline is a safety system designed to eliminate or substantially reduce the risk of injury or death to
operatives working at height or where a fall would otherwise be hazardous to the user’s health. Therefore, it is vital that it is installed,
maintained and used correctly.
Installation is only to be carried out by Approved Systems Integrators or competent persons trained by the Capital Safety or Capital Safety’s
representative and is to be in accordance with the Capital Safety’s recommendations and with all relevant standards.
All users of the System, as well as those who manage its use and maintenance, should be familiar with the pre-use checks, limitations,
precautions, operations and general requirements of the system. Further details of the specific limitations of your system will be provided
by your Approved Systems Integrator.
Users must be competent personnel who have read and understood this manual and have been trained by an approved person. It is
recommended that the System is not used by lone operatives for reasons of safety and that a rescue plan must be in place in the event
of a fall or accident.
The System has been designed to decelerate and stop personnel who fall whilst carrying out operations in the workplace. The energy
dissipating mechanisms built in to the lanyard and the lifeline are designed to reduce the decelerating forces on the user’s body to below the
maximum as prescribed by law. Consideration should therefore be given to the user’s age and fitness, physical disorders and any conditions
that may affect the user during normal use, in the event of a fall or during rescue. On no account should pregnant women or children use
the System.

Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline System
The Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline
Section 2.0
The Uni 8™ Overhead Lifeline System is a unique safety product. It offers both fall arrest and restraint capabilities using a 1 x 19 8mm
(5/16”) stainless steel cable, which is secured to a structure using a range of anchorage fittings. The two wheeled attachment carriages
are secured to the system during installation and when in use move over the intermediate brackets without interruption. It is a true handsfree system.
The system has a minimum breaking strength of 38 kN (8550lbs) and can span up to 30 metres (98.42ft) between intermediate supports.
This is achieved through high pre-tension loading in the cable of 5kN combined with the properties of the 1 x 19 8mm (0.31”) cable.
A complete range of structural end anchors are available to enable the system to integrate with the structure.
The Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline is designed to provide a facility to enable safe working at heights in accordance with current
regulations and safe access to a variety of otherwise dangerous situations, or to restrain personnel from putting themselves at risk.
The Uni 8™ Overhead System consists of a horizontally mounted lifeline that spans the work area and is fixed at either end to the structure
via anchorage connectors. The lifeline may be supported at regular intervals by intermediate brackets. The intermediate brackets help to
reduce the loads in the event of a fall, limit cable deflections and allow for longer single installations. The Uni 8™ Overhead System is only
suitable for mounting 1.6m or more above the work area or walking surface and does not navigate corners or changes in direction. In order
to ensure best performance of the system, it should be installed so that it is completely level.
Owing to the nature of the product it is imperative that it is installed in accordance with section 1.0, paragraph 2 of this manual.
The Uni 8™ Overhead System is a horizontal lifeline fall protection system.
It complies with European Standard EN795:1996, AS/NZS 1891.2 and OSHA 1926.502.

WORK RESTRAINT
A Restraint System is designed to prevent a user
accessing risk areas (such as roof edges), thereby
preventing a fall.
FALL ARREST
A Fall Arrest System allows access to a fall hazard
and is designed to safely arrest the operative in
the event of a fall.

Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline System
System Design, Installation and Other Characteristics
Section 3.0
3.1 SYSTEM DESIGN
The System will be designed to suit your local conditions. The approved Capital Safety Installer will have verified all the necessary
parameters using a specially developed computer program. The information generated from this program is the result of extensive testing
and verification by an external laboratory and conforms with internationally recognised standards.
The System will be positioned to allow the user safe access to all areas required. If possible the System should be ‘Restraint’ rather than
‘Fall Arrest’. For this reason it is necessary that persons only use the personal protective equipment supplied for use with the System.
If using Self-Retracting Fall Arrest Devices or a Controlled Rate Descent Device, the use of a pull down cord is recommended to enable
the user to attach to the system at ground level. DO NOT leave cable permanently extended from these devices.
The design of the system and choice of fall arrest device is determined by some of the following factors:
•
The requirement for access
• Availability of structural anchors
• Ground clearance
• Obstacles beneath the work area
• Number of users
For further information on the positioning of the System, please contact your Installer or Capital Safety.
3.2 INSTALLATION
The Uni 8™ Overhead Horizontal Lifeline is a facility to enable safe working at heights. Lives are at risk if the System is not installed
correctly. Capital Safety Approved Systems Integrators are highly trained in the design, installation, certification and maintenance of
the product. If you are at all concerned about the competence of the personnel installing your system, please contact Capital Safety.
3.3 FIXINGS
The Capital Safety Simulation Program calculates figures for the loads that would be generated in the event of a worst-case fall scenario.
It is imperative that the supporting structure and fixings used in the construction of the System are capable of withstanding at least twice
these loads.
Furthermore fixings and the interface of components with the structure must be such that they do not permit dissimilar materials to come
in to direct contact. Suitable isolation materials must be used.
All fasteners must be correctly torqued in accordance with Capital Safety’s technical instructions.
If in doubt, please consult a structural engineer.
3.4 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
All PPE used in conjunction with the horizontal lifeline system should carry the CE mark or appropriate national certification, date of
manufacture and the standard that it has been manufactured to. Any harness to be used should be a full body harness and any lanyard
should have an energy/shock absorber. It is important that any PPE used must adhere to the specific design and specification for that
particular lifeline system. In particular the use of fall arrest blocks is limited to the specific models tested and approved for use by Capital
Safety and can only be used where the lifeline is directly above the user and at an angle of ≤20°. For these reasons it is necessary that
persons only use the PPE supplied for use with the system.
3.5 PACKAGING
All equipment leaving Capital Safety is sufficiently packaged to prevent damage and/or deterioration during transportation.
Any concerns or claims regarding the condition of the equipment should first be addressed to the installer.

Inspection and Maintenance, Servicing and Warranty
Section 5.0
5.1 THE UNI 8™ OVERHEAD
HORIZONTAL LIFELINE
The Uni 8™ Overhead System has been designed to be used
under a variety of conditions. It uses high-grade components
that are corrosion resistant. However, the System’s working life
depends on factors such as correct care and maintenance and the
environment in which the System is installed.
Before each occasion of use an approved person should visually
check the system to ensure that it looks fit for purpose. If the cable
is slack or the energy absorber is deployed you should not use the
system. Report the faults to the Approved Systems Integrator and
await a maintenance visit.
DO NOT attempt to repair the system yourself, as this may
invalidate performance warranties and put personnel in danger.
Occasionally the cable and components may need cleaning
dependent on environment. This should be done with a soft non
metallic brush, warm water and a mild detergent. Ensure the parts
are thoroughly rinsed with plenty of clean water.
Although highly resistant to chemicals and environmental
conditions, take all precautions to avoid contaminating the system
with acids, bitumen, cement, chloride, paint or aggressive cleaning
fluids. Stainless steel is particularly susceptible to pitting corrosion
from chlorine, so avoid installations in this type of environment.
If the System is likely to be contaminated, please contact your
Systems Integrator or Capital Safety for advice.
If the system is installed outdoors in an agressive environment and
protected from natural washing with rain water, the parts should be
washed periodically to avoid contamination.
• A close visual inspection of the entire system
• Check and adjust as necessary the cable tension
• Check the integrity of the cable in particular at swages and
intermediate brackets
•
Check the structure and components for any signs of damage
or corrosion

Pre-Use Checks
Section 6.0
6.1 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Examine harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines or controlled rate descent devices in accordance with their manufacturers
instructions to ascertain if they are serviceable. If in doubt do not use them. If these items have been subjected to a fall they must be
serviced or discarded.
6.2 UNI 8™ OVERHEAD TRAVELLER
The two wheeled attachment device is secured permanently on the system.
A maximum of 1 user weighing no more than 140kg (310lbs) may attach themselves to one device. (Subject to system weight restrictions).
The maximum permissible arrest force on the user must not exceed 6kN (1325lbs). This will be limited by the choice of personal protective
equipment supplied for use with the system. Approved equipment should be attached to the device with a carabiner hook manufactured in
accordance with national standards.
The attachment device in conjunction with a correctly installed system will allow smooth passage by the user along the system. Check that
the carriage runs smoothly prior to use. If the carriage does not run freely, carry out a closer inspection from a position of safety to establish
if it or the system is damaged.
6.2.1 UNI 8™ EVOLUTION™ OVERHEAD TRAVELLER
The Traveller attachment device is secured on after the initial installation of the safety line.
A Maximum of 1 user weighing no more than 140kg (310lbs) may attach themselves to one device. (Subject to system weight restrictions).
The attachment device in conjunction with a correctly installed system will allow smooth passage by the user along the system. Check that
the carriage runs smoothly prior to use. If the carriage does not run freely, carry out a closer inspection from a position of safety to establish
if it or the system is damaged.
6.3 SYSTEMS LABEL/RECORD
Prior to accessing the system the user should always inspect the system label and record in order to confirm:
The correct user equipment is being used as specified
•
• The maximum number of users and maximum permissible user weight as calculated is not exceeded
• The system certification is valid. The system should be certified yearly. If this has not been done the user should not use the system.
• Check that the ground clearance is still the same as detailed on the system label and that there is no risk of collision in the event of a fall
– including swing fall (pendulum fall) hazards.
6.4 SYSTEM
If possible, before attaching to the system, carry out a visual inspection. Check that there are no obvious signs of damage to the system,
such as breaks, kinks or excessive sag in the cable or damaged brackets. If possible, turn the disc attached to the tensioner. If the disc

Using The System
Section 7.0
7.1 GENERAL POINTS
Only personnel trained in the correct use of the system and in safe working at height procedures should use the system.
Prior to accessing/using the system the user must:
•
Read the instructions for use and ensure they are familiar with the restrictions for the use of the system
• Carry out the pre-use checks from section 6.0
• Ensure they have the correct user equipment and that it is correctly fitted
• Ensure the maximum number of users and user weight is not exceeded
• Ensure that if a fall is possible a rescue plan has been established and that a rescue can be facilitated within 15 minutes or sooner
of the fall occurring. It is strongly recommended that users do not work alone incase of an incident.
7.2 USER EQUIPMENT
Always wear a full body harness. The user should attach their fall arrest device to the rear D ring of the harness.
This prevents the fall arrest device getting in the way during movement and in the event of a fall, ensures minimum trauma to the user.
Always ensure that the locking mechanism of the karabiner is properly closed before proceeding and get a second person to check
the attachment.
7.3 ATTACHING TO THE SYSTEM
Access to the system should be gained from a position of safety. If necessary the user should use other safety equipment,
such as a twin tailed lanyard to facilitate safe access to the attachment area.

Using The System
Section 7.0
7.4 ATTACHING TO THE SYSTEM
Two different attachment devices can be used with the Uni 8™ Overhead System.
In most cases the system will have two wheeled carriages permanently installed on the wire. In this case you will usually find that the fall
arrest device is permanently secured to the carriage and ready to be attached to. (Fig 1). In this case pull down the attachment hook and
secure it to your harness D ring as per 7.2 before proceeding to use the system. (Fig 2).
In some cases, the system will be installed within arms reach of the worker and they will be able to attach the Uni 8™ evolution™ Traveller
from a position of safety. If this product is being used in conjunction with the Uni 8™ Overhead System, follow the instructions below in
the illustrated diagram. To detach from the system, follow the procedure in reverse. The Uni 8™ Overhead System only allows the Uni 8™
evolution™ Traveller to pass in one orientation. Check for the correct orientation before attaching to the system.
Once attached to the system do not move more than 20 degrees each side of the centre of the during use. This will ensure continued
functionality and prevent dangerous swing fall hazards.
7.5 DETACHING FROM THE SYSTEM
Only detach yourself from the system when in a position of safety. Remove the fall arrest device connector from your harness and when
using self-retracting fall arrest devices or controlled rate descent devices, slowly feed the cable back in to the housing. It may sometimes be
necessary to do this with ‘pull down cords’ when the devices are high above the user. This will prevent the device from becoming damaged.
Never leave cables extended when not in use and never attach cables to vehicles as this may cause the device or system to become
irreparably damaged.
Following a fall on a system, remove the system from service and immediately contact your Approved Systems Integrator.

RESCUE
When contemplating working at height, and in particular when considering the use of a fall arrest/work restraint system, it is extremely
important that employers and employees consider any emergency or rescue procedures that may be required. It is strongly recommended
that a written emergency and rescue plan is developed and those responsible are trained to affect a rescue.
The importance of having a rescue plan to deal with such emergencies cannot be overemphasized. Such a plan includes consideration
of rescue equipment, personnel, and training as necessary.
It is not acceptable just to rely on the emergency services. Emergency procedures need to be considered for reasonably foreseeable
circumstances. The measures need to be covered in the risk assessment and planned prior to the work activity being carried out.
A sensible strategy is to employ two workers for the task at height, so if one falls, the other can assist in the rescue, or can summon
help. High visibility clothing, whistles, and personal alarms are all items worthy of consideration.
