At our most recent inspection we had a conversation with the inspector about fall arrest (or more likely restraint) in our plaster ceiling lighting coves. I'd asked about the feasibility of a lifeline installation but he suggested a self-retracting lanyard attached to the roof truss over the coves (there's four). We're looking to go that route, but I was exploring the options of creating a point to attach the lanyard. In doing some research I found this product, which I think would work pretty well with a bit of burlap protecting the webbing on the steel. It doesn't have terribly sharp edges, but it bends sharp enough.
I attached some pictures of the trussing below as well. In a perfect world, we'd put one over each pocket with a lanyard and just clip in before focusing. I'd love some feedback on what has worked for others in this situation.
Thanks!
Typical example of the truss, thought is to choke that webbing on the bottom chord:
Down looking up. I was also thinking about a shouldered eyebolt with square washers, but that seems less "fool-proof" than the choker D-ring.
