Abstract

A personal fall arrest system capable of automatically transmitting a distress signal to an emergency responder in the event of a fall by a user. A personal fall arrest system having features of the present invention can comprise a fall safety apparatus having a lanyard, a transmitter attached to the lanyard, and a means for automatically activating the transmitter in the event of a fall by a user. In the event of a fall by the user, the transmitter will send a distress signal to a receiver optionally located in the user's vehicle. This distress signal is then transmitted to an emergency responder for purposes of initiating an on-site rescue and retrieval.
