Uniline Safety Systems

Wind turbine safety and fall protection

Features of the wind turbine safety systems include free running attachment carriages, removing the need for double lanyards, improving user functionality and increasing worker safety and efficiency. These can be parked during use to maintain worker stability, increasing user confidence and safety during work positioning and rescue tasks. They can also be parked when not in use to prevent the wind from moving them away from access points.

The wind turbine safety system can easily be installed both during production and retrofitted to existing structures, enabling customers to standardise their chosen fall protection solution. A proven wind turbine safety product, UniRail offers over 20 years working life in harsh offshore and onshore environments: a life expectancy that reduces replacement and ownership costs.

The UniRail System is produced from marine grade aluminium and is anodised providing long term protection. Fixings have been developed for wind energy structures with proven waterproofing details to prevent water ingress. The wind turbine safety system enables the rail to expand and contract with changes in temperature, removing the risk of damage or unnecessary stress to the structure or fixings. The wind turbine safety system and carriages provide a minimum strength of 24kN. (Fixings at 750mm centres typical).

The rail system is complemented by a range of anchor
points that can be attached to by two workers for fall
protection, suspended access and rescue applications.
