Abstract

See full text

A fall-protection interlocking system for an access-controlled fall-risk area. The system includes a latch module installed at an entry gate of the area and a fall-protection apparatus installed at the area. The interlocking system further includes a monitoring system configured to send a positive signal to the latch module when the fall-protection monitoring system determines that a connector of a safety line of the fall-protection apparatus appears to be connected to a safety harness of a user. Upon receipt of the positive signal, the low-power-consumption latch module can unlatch the entry gate.
