Fall arrest blocks, also known as self-retracting lifelines, stop a fall almost as soon as it starts, letting a worker move freely at height while staying continuously protected. Our range covers webbing and wire rope blocks from 2m to 30m, including compact mini blocks, twin-legged versions and models with integrated rescue winches, suited to vertical and horizontal use on scaffolds, towers and rooftops. Selecting the right block for the task, and inspecting it regularly, is central to safe work at height under Irish regulations. Pat O Brien Safety supplies fall arrest blocks across Ireland; browse the range below.
