Method Statement For Installation of Horizontal Life line and Working on Roof
1.Purpose:-
Provide guidance to users on the need for proper installation of fall protection to either remove the fall hazard, prevent access to the fall hazard, restrict worker movement at the fall hazard, or provide the proper fall arrest equipment; Illustrate fall protection systems; Familiarize fall protection equipment users with the appropriate standards pertaining to their use. Assist in the proper selection, care, use and inspection of fall protection equipment.
2.Scope:-
This SOP covers, all areas (permanent or temporary) where working at height is necessary under Contractor.
3.Procedure:-
3.1 Components of a Personal Fall Arrest System (Horizontal Life-Line):-
There are three vital components that make up a complete fall protection system.
These are the ABC’s of fall protection
A. Anchorage
B .Body support
C. Means of Connection
- There are three vital components that make upa complete fall protection system.
- These are the ABCs of fall protection:
Anchorage.
Body support. Means of Connection. Each must be in place and properly used to provide maximum worker protection. While each of component vital to worker safety, the connecting device is the critical link in assembling a safe fall protectionsystem since it bears the greatest force during a fall.
Careful consideration must be given to the selection, materials, construction and inspection/maintenance of fall Protection equipment before, during and after a connecting device has been selected. An anchorage, as defined, is a secure point ofattachment for lifelines, lanyards or
3.1.1- Without a full harness working above 1.8 meters, no helmet, safety shoes, vest, hand gloves, or safety glasses are not allowed to work.

3.2.2- A work permit must be obtained and reviewed with workers involved with the work. A review of the permit shall be documented in the PTB.
3.2.3- Scaffolding towers shall be erected and used for access and egress. A certified scaffolder shall inspect the scaffolding tower prior to use and tagged with a green tag prior to use.
3.2.4- When A‐frame can be placed on the ground, the ground condition must be suitable for them. After installation, A‐frame must be fixed firmly to the ground. A‐ frame will be strengthened by using of metal profiles, under thecontrol of a certified scaffold supervisor/inspector.
3.2.5- In areas where the A‐ frame will land on top of the metal stairwell decking/steps, welding of the A‐ frame leg to the stairwell landing/steps shall be performed. A‐ frame system/HLL will not be used until inspected by 3rd party.
3.2.6- When working in case any was needed material from below, material that can be moved with ropes (with the decision of the certified scaffold supervisor/inspector); one end of the rope is connected to a solid point and staff that is on the scaffold must be directed until material moved from bottom to top.

A manlift shall be used to install steel cable from one A-frame to the next A-frame. NO workers will be allowed on the roof unless a positive means of connection of the lanyard is secured, OR workers are using manlifts.
As a general rule, it is recommended that a fall arrest system be used anytime when working at an elevated level and exposed to a fall hazard.Trigger heights (for example, 4 feet for general industry workplaces, and6 feet for construction) are dictated by specific standards for the applicable industry. The following is recommended:
Anchorage Steel Rope – Shall be designed, installed and used under the supervision of a qualified person (such as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintain safety factor of at least two anchorage Connector, Anchor Sling-I
beam trolley, or other anchorage connector. Body Support ‐ Full bodyharness. Connecting Means ‐ Energy‐absorbing lanyard and fall
Anchorage 16mm steel rope / cable must be properly installed to the A‐type frame from both side of the structures with three pieces of steel rope grip andturn eye buckles
An eye turnbuckle, must be install tofor s for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems of the life line. It normally consists of two threaded eye bolts, one screwed into
. Each end of a small metal frame, one with aleft‐hand thread and the other with a right‐ hand thread.
Three pieces of Wire Rope Grips must be properly installed randomly to the wire, wire rope grips afford a simple mechanical means of securingthe end of a wire rope. They are appropriate for temporarily securing the end of a wire rope that may need to be shortened from the gripped end.
Analysis & Calculation for Horizontal System:-
Design Parameters = 2 Workers at a time, in spam of 12pm
Safe Working Load (SWR, 16mm) = 36.44 kn
Distance between anchor Points = 12.00 m
Anchor point (concrete Block Set) = 24.18 kn x 2 = 48.96 kn
Engineering Calculations for Horizontal Lifeline fall arreat System:-
- Normal size diameter = d = 16mm
- Net cross section area = A = 100.6 mm2
- distance between anchor length = S = 12m = 1200 mm
- Weight of cable per unit Length = W = 0.01047 kg/cm
- Modulus of Elasticity of cable = E = 140000 kg/cm = 141.215 GPa
- Minimum breaking load = F8 = 182.2 kn
- Sag of cable its own weigth = F1 = 30.00 cm = 0.3 m
- Tengential cable tension at midspan under its own weight = t1 = w x s / 8 x t1 kg
=0.01047 x 1440000/8 x 30
T = 15076 / 240 = 62.41 kg/cm
Calculation for Life Line Installation:-
Cable tension at either enchorage
Under cable weight (Concrete block ste ) = T1 = 61.591 kg
Cable length under its own weight = L1 = S x 1 8 x f1 / 3 x cm
= 12000 x 1.001667
L1 = 1202.00 cm or 12020
A type frame Design Calculations Capacity of A type Frame Tube in Bending:-
M1 = FY x Z
FY = Minumum Yield Stress = 235.00 N/mm sq for En39 / BS 1139 – 5.08mm tube
Z = Plastic Section Modulus = (OD3 – ID3) for 48.3mm OD with wall thickness 5.08mm
= 7871.29 mm3
Therefore Moment = M1 = 235.00 x 787.29
= M1 = 1849753.93 kNm
Design Check: Connection of Short tube Supporting A type frame on I-Beam
Total Axial load acting on both short tube = 36.97 kN
Each short tube is connected with one pair of girder couples SWL for pair of Girder coupler in Distortion = 60.00 kN
60.00 Kn 36.97 kn Therefore, Short Tube is Safe
Design Check: Short tube supporting wire
P=Reaction Due to cable force = 36.97 KN
Maximum bending moment on short tube = P x A x B = 36.97 x 0.03 x .037 = 1.63 kNm
L = 0.0=4m
Installation of roof capping:-
- Use self-threading screws to install the Make sure the screws are inserted into the steel beams onthe roof.
- Only two persons will be allowed to use the man lift bucket, man lift operator with one worker.
- Operator will operate from the
- Cladding will be bought from store area by using boom truck
- Cladding will be shifted on the top of the roof by using
- During the lifting process the area will be properly barricaded and signage’s will be placed
- During the shifting of the material tag line will be used to handle the
