Let me know what is the measurement of diameter of the lifeline rope for anchoring the safety belt with full body harness. while doing the fragile roof sheet work.
Dear Chandan,
Your answer: Use only 10mm (3/8”) wire rope for life line.
More for you: while lifelines are used they shall be fastened to fixed safe anchorage points capable of supporting 2300 Kg, shall be independent, and shall be protected from sharp edges and abrasion.
Safe anchorage points include structural members, but do not include guard rails, standpipes, vents, and other small diameter piping systems, electrical conduits, outrigger beams, or counterweights.
Horizontal life lines shall be maintained with sag at the center no greater than 300 mm for every 10 meters of lifeline length between attachment points.
Why I give the details though you asked only the diameter ?
Reason is quite simple: When someone asks fundamentals like this it is easy to realize that he is either not a safety professional or he may be a newcomer or a student. Whatever may be the calling I appreciate those who ask questions instead of continuing with ignorance. In safety always seek help instead of false pretense. In the long run it will help. Please feel free to shoot your doubts. I am sure this forum is for you !

Dear Dipil,
Thank you for remembering my name. I was wondering if there has been any discussion so far on lightning safety. Many people die during the season, and it is disheartening to see the reports. Let us wait and see the outcome.

Dear Sir,
Thanks.
I always remember your name as one of my mentors, even though we have never had a telephonic discussion. The knowledge I gained through the discussions in this forum is what I consider the foundation that has helped me to grow further.
Regarding Lightning Safety, we do not have many threads or discussions in this forum. I found the following thread related to the topic:

Lightning safety is a detailed technical topic. In the NBC 2016, it is detailed in Part 8. I have not yet read it completely. I would say that I usually end up checking the basics when it comes to lightning protection during audits, such as whether Lightning Protection Plotting has been done, continuity and resistance checking mechanisms, frequency, test results, etc.
I would be happy to delve more deeply to gain further knowledge on this topic. Looking forward to your response and the participation of other members on this topic.
I would like to request other members to share their knowledge and any concerns they may have regarding this topic. Let's try to have a meaningful discussion on this topic.
Thank you.
