In particular, most of the fatal occupational accidents occur in the form of falling from a height. Therefore, fall arrest systems or fall arrest systems are very important when working at height. In working at heights, fall prevention systems, that is, collective protection measures, are preferred. Guardrails, space restriction systems and some types of safety nets are among the methods used to prevent falling from height. However, these collective protection measures, which are mentioned in working at heights, are often insufficient. Lifelines, which are used in working at height and which have an important place in ensuring safety, appear as an important protective system both in areas where work is constantly at height and when it is necessary to go to height in cases such as maintenance breakdowns. The standards of lifelines are defined in the literature, although the minimum requirements to be met are mentioned, it is seen that the purposes of the test methods are not fully explained in the literature. It is considered that knowing how the equipment to be used in working at height is tested, what the test stages are and carrying out enlightening studies on this subject will both contribute to the knowledge in terms of Occupational Health and Safety and prevent occupational accidents that may arise from the wrong equipment selection. In this part of the book, the minimum limitations of lifelines in terms of occupational health and safety test methods will be explained and supported with visuals. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
