Rigging Sleeves
Rigging Sleeves Manual
Building designers who want to provide safe access for the maintenance worker may encounter difficulties where certain building features make various areas seem inaccessible. Rigging sleeves can provide a solution when the following features exist:
- Overhangs
- Skylights
- Rotunda ceilings
- Sloped roofs
- High parapet walls
- High penthouse walls
Rigging sleeves are engineered to allow the maintenance worker to gain access through such building features. They accomplish this by providing a passageway through which the worker can safely feed his rigging suspension lines.
How they work…
After securing his lifeline to an independent anchor, a maintenance worker simply ties his suspension line to the steel rod on the top of the rigging sleeve, removes the rigging sleeve cap, suspends both lines through the rigging sleeve, then returns to a lower level where a platform is located to secure himself and the platform to the suspension and lifelines.
