Posted By Martin Gray As previosly stated Spanset is a temporary running line which should be used when no permanent fall arrest running line is installed. It is a webbing strap with a ratchet similar to a lorry ratchet for tightening. With the best will in the world even though you tighten the strap as best you can there is still a large amount of give in the strap. I have cause to use this equipment on many occassions as many of the premises we search are not equipped with running wires. The main problem with using this equipment is finding a suitable anchorage point that will take the strain of the ratchet and also the added weight of the individual should they fall. This should only be used as a last resort and by trained staff who understand the limitations of the building structure/anchorage point.
