SUPINE4
Checkmate’s latest innovation is the world’s first multi-purpose fall arrest harness that automatically eliminates suspension trauma by keeping the wearer in a supine position after falling from height.
Deployable shoulder strap
Sculpted thermoformed shoulder pack
Lightweight forged alloy pivot ring
eliminating the risk of suspension trauma The unique action of the Supine
Safety Harness puts the wearer into the ‘supine’ position with the upper legs parallel to the ground and the upper body reclined.
The leg straps automatically become slack, thus eliminating pressure on vital arteries.
The Supine Safety Harness will deploy automatically during the fall into the ‘supine’ position whether the wearer is conscious or unconscious, ensuring the best possible situation for preventing further injury.
multi-purpose A fall arrest harness in its normal state but
with shoulder straps manually deployed, the Supine Safety Harness can be used as a:

you can be sure that the wearer will be safer at work.
Should a fall occur, the wearer will be put in the best possible recovery position.
easy to don The Supine Safety Harness has a
unique design, which makes it easier and faster to put on and requires less training than separate harnesses for different purposes.

uses built up layers of thermo formed breathable foams and a clever combination of fabrics. The pinching of webbing against the skin is reduced.
Our unique Trapezoidal buckles allow the front webbing straps to follow the contours of the body smoothly. This removes the need for any adjustment across the front chest.
When sitting or leaning the extra padding protects the users hips from fittings which tend to become uncomfortable after long work periods.

selecting the right harnessShould be less about your
budget and more about the
safety, suitability and fitment.
don’t be fooled by the all singing all dancing,
bells and whistles, very often they add
little or no technical advantage.There are, of course, times when side d-rings, belts,
abseil points and additional leg supports or padding are
advantageous but for the basic working at height tasks
a simple two-point product is normally sufficient.
unless a harness is being used where there will never
be a need to remotely rescue the user we would
always recommend a two-point harness as a minimum.
it adds very little cost but ensures, in the event of an
emergency rescue where the rear d-ring is not accessible,
the rescuer can safely connect to the casualty.

selecting the right lanyard
The choice of lanyards, lengths, connectors,
shock absorbers and features are endless.
But they all do things for a reason. Never
assume one product suits all your work tasks.
If in doubt ask a professional for advice.
When choosing the correct connecting device it is important
you understand the limitations of each type and what your
own functional requirements are within your work task.
The basic single lanyard offers the user a MAXiMuM of
2m of movement from the anchorage point and a choice
of karabiners or connectors allowing you to connect
directly to larger objects such as scaffold tubes.
Twin or Y Type lanyards allow the user to transfer
from one attachment point to another without the

unlikely in such a diverse area just one product will meet
the needs of the operator and environment around him.
it is important to note that only trained professionals
should attempt to use any safety equipment but extra
care should be taken and further training provided which
considers all the risks, these should include a thorough risk

challenges but all of the risks of working
above ground still remain. Professional
advice and training should be taken when
planning any work below ground.
The key to safe and effective working below ground
level or in any confined space is simple; you must
ensure the right preparation, training and rescue
plan is formulated before you even lift the lid!
There might be high levels of toxic gases, restricted
movement for long durations or difficulties with
basic communication to name just a few.
Having the correct anchorage and access system is only
part of your kit, but it is also a very important part. Speak
with our technical team for advice prior to purchase and
also ensure training has been given prior to use.

chapter fourConfined space can be one of the most dangerous and difficult access situations. In many cases the basic configuration of a Tripod and Fall Arrest Block with a recovery winch is simply not sufficient. This usually occurs when the user has to descend deeper than the standard 15m of a FAB15R device and or when rescue times are critical.
The Multi Access product is ideally suited to places such as silos, work shafts, lift shafts, wells and sewer canals. The device is quickly mounted to the TR2 tripod via the bracket module and a rapid but controlled descent is now possible. Users can be rescued via the ratchet style winch device and have the added advantage of using both arms for leverage. A lift speed of 5m/min is possible.

work and rescueWhen you need to ascend or descend
quickly the fastest method is normally from
rope based devices. These can be manual
or automatic, single user or multiple.
Raising and lowering yourself or another operative on a
hand winch, down let’s say a 20m shaft is time consuming
and arduous. If the user gets in to difficulty the speed of
evacuation is the key to their survival. Therefore choosing a
device that can be raised and lowered quickly is the key.
Tall buildings, cranes or access machinery require
emergency evacuation systems and often for multiple
users. Often little or no training is given so your choice
of equipment must be simple and automatic.
Speak with our technical team for advice,
site demonstrations and training.

eThe PED5 is used for confined space or work and rescue tasks. The device can work with a bosuns chair, harness, rescue sling and attached to either portable anchorages such as tripods, davits or a fixed structure.
The kernmantle rope runs through a top and bottom pulley and the user can either ascend or descend independent of any other person. Control is maintained by the ascender, which can be either right or left handed. In rescue, or as an assist, another person can help raise or lower the user with an ascender, independent of the person in the chair or harness.

The same technology is used to create the simplest and safest rescue/work positioning device in the world. Set up the RALF with any combination of prussik pulleys to create a 3:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage with virtually any length of rope to create a simple hauling system for one- or two-person loads. If at any point during lifting or lowering the user loses control the Overspeed Brake will lock arresting a fall within a few inches.
The locking mechanism is not set up to be a one-use system and therefore does not have to be serviced after every fall arrest but it is subject to a six-monthly thorough inspection
and whatever replacement parts are required at that time.

The Kee Anchor System is designed for use on roofs where there are no permanent guardrails, such as Kee Guard, or other anchor devices, in order to allow safe freedom of movement around the roof space.
The Kee Anchor system offers the solution to the problem of minimal time maintenance operations for those jobs requiring occasional roof access. The system’s modular components have been designed for ease of assembly on site and for transporting the system to site. For added safety all of the weights that come into contact with the roof are fitted with protective anti-slip rubber pads.
The Kee Anchor system offers a low maintenance, reliable and simple to assemble solution to working at heights requiring no drilling, special anchorage or penetration of the roof membrane. All components are zinc coated to ensure long lasting corrosion resistance and the grubscrews used in the system are case hardened and feature KeeKoat protection.
Principle features:
The Kee Anchor system can be used on roofs up to a 5 degree slope
Multi purpose weights can be used with the KeeGuard roof edge protection system
Suitable for use on Mineral Felt and Single ply membrane roof surfaces
Corrosion resistant for long lasting service
Easy to assemble Suitable for use with lanyards

The CheckRing removable eyebolt is a simple to install anchorage that can be removed by a quick double action method. This ensures the user cannot accidentally disconnect without two separate movements.
Due to the nature of the design the eyebolt can spin freely through 360°. This guarantees the eyebolt is in a positive strength plane and not being stressed.
The CheckRing system is ideal for installations where a large number of single point anchors are required and the design aesthetics are key. The socket is fitted with an end cap when not in use, leaving a flush unobtrusive finish particularly in hotels and office blocks.

The Alloy Stanchion is a lightweight portable anchorage system for use with Checkmate’s temporary lifeline systems. Not to be used as a stand alone anchorage. It clamps directly to steel beams up to 24mm in flange thickness. The four stainless grub screws positioned on the top of the flange bite into the material surface when the two M16 bolts are torqued up.
The system is ideal for steel erection and large construction projects where anchorages are limited. By connecting a number of stanchions together the LifeLines can be used to span unlimited lengths. By the use of a ‘Y’ type lanyard cross-over is always safe.

Choosing the right lifeline system
does not need to be difficult.
However each product can offer
the user unique benefits.
Rope based lifelines have the ability to run
pulleys and therefore they can
quickly become
a 2d system, allowing the user to work up
and down the line as well as a
cross freely. Be
mindful of the extended ground clearance
requirements and check each product for max
spans and max users. pay particular at
tention to
peak end loads and ensure the final anchor is
capable of sustaining twice the max peak load.
Our webbing based systems are very economical
and simple to use, but because it is manufactured
from flat webbing you can’t run pulleys.

Colour coding only applicable with Eu
for industrial equipment.
1 Use only identified slings.
2 do not use a damaged sling. Observable damage is the most reliable sign of weakness, particularly if a new sling is available for comparison.
3 Note the correct 'Safe Working Load' for the mode use (see safety chart above).
4 if intensive use is to be made of a sling in choked hitch, protection at the point of choke is recommended. Allow the angle of choke to form naturally - do not force.
5 Never engage a textile sling with anything which may damage it. The lifting device, where it engages with the sling, should be smooth, without sharp edges and of the correct size so as to avoid excessive opening of the eyes or excessive loading of sewn parts.
6 Observe the following precautions: a) ensure that the sling is suitable for the load lifted; b) do not drag loads when slung; c) do not lift with slings which are knotted or twisted; d) in cases where contact with sharp edges is
possible, make sure that protective sleeves or patches are provided and that they are correctly located;
e) do not allow the sling to remain under load for longer than necessary;
f) do not pull sling from under the load when the load is resting on the sling;
g) avoid snatch or shock loading; h) avoid eye opening angle of more than 20 (see 5); i) ensure that the included angles for 2-leg and
4-leg slings do not exceed 90 degrees.
7 Ensure that the load will remain stable when lifted, and that when more than one sling is used for a single load, that the weight is properly distributed between the slings or sling legs.
8 if slings are to be used where contact with chemicals is possible, or other extreme conditions such as high temperatures may be encountered, please seek advice.
9 Store slings away from sources of ultraviolet radiation, (including sunlight) to avoid degradation.
10 do not dry or store slings near a source of heat. Store them on a suitable rack in a free circulation of air.
11 inspect slings before and during use (see 2).
12 Never attempt to repair a damaged sling. in cases of doubt, return it to Checkmate.

This information is provided in the interests of the health and safety at work of all employees and other persons who may use the equipment. All persons having any contact whatsoever with webbing slings are instructed to read and put in to practice the information described on this page.
Recommendations for the inspection of slings for damage
1 Examine the sling throughout its length for surface chafe, cuts in the webbing or selvedges or the cover and core of roundslings.
Examine stitching of seams and eyes. Examine end fittings for cracks or damage.
2 Chemical damage will show as local softening or powdering of the sling or its outer cover.
3 In case of cuts or significant abrasion or of any case of doubt, the sling should be taken out of service and the advice of the supplier sought.
Polyester Slingspolyester slings should be used whenever a minimum of stretch is required. They are unaffected by common acids and hot bleaching solutions. polyester slings must not be used with Sulphoric Acid* or strong Alkalis**. Not suitable for use at temperatures exceeding 200°C. Stretch at rated capacity is approximately 3%.

Wear SleevesWear sleeves are recommended when abrasion is a problem or sharp objects are being lifted and will also prolong the life of the sling.
They are available in a variety of materials including polyurethane for particularly harsh or abrasive surfaces which can be coated either single sided or totally encapsulated.
Special Webbing SlingsWe can supply a number of specialist slings such as:
Extra wide webbing slings where we stitch two slings - side by side either in simplex, duplex or quadplex slings - to give extra width up to 600mm and theoretical WLL of up to 48 tons.
Boat slings with extra eyes to give variable lifting lengths.
One trip sling, an economical sling that is used for only a single journey of the load.
Belly band slings, an endless webbing sling that can be supplied in a variety of lengths and widths.
Cloverleaf slings to lift large cargos of cocoa bags, etc.
Special ProjectsCustom slings can be designed and developed to suit customer's individual requirements; such as the Tension Hammock (pictured right) used to change ceramic insulator discs.
