Lifeline systems include a worker harness hooked and slideable along a cable attached to a ratchet mechanism and extending between posts, through stand off pipes, or the like and generally parallel to, but spaced from, sides of a tank. The lifeline system utilizes supports which can be removably attached to the reinforcement rib or the cantilevered edge of the tank. The supports can include fastening rings to connect to braces, stabilizers or the ratchet mechanism. The reinforcement rib is received in an omega shaped channel and sandwiched by a clamp located on the first side and moveable relative to a second side of the channel. The cantilevered edge is received between upper and lower plates extending in openings of C-shaped sides in a spaced, angled relation and is sandwiched by a fastener threadably received in the upper plate.

1. A support for removable attachment to a reinforcement rib of a tank, the support comprising: a channel having a generally omega shape including first and second sides extending from opposite edges of a top of the channel, and the channel including first and second flanges extending in opposite directions from the first and second sides respectively, the first and second flanges defining a plane, wherein the first and second sides are spaced to receive the reinforcement rib of the tank, with the top being spaced from and parallel to the plane defined by the first and second flanges to receive the reinforcement rib of the tank; anda first clamp located on the first side of the channel and moveable relative to the second side of the channel, and a second clamp located on the second side of the channel and movable relative to the first side of the channel; anda first fastening ring of a generally U-shape including first and second legs secured and extending along one of the first and second sides of the channel, and the first and second legs being secured to an associated flange of said first and second flanges, and a portion of the first fastening ring extending between the first and second legs, wherein the portion of the first fastening ring is spaced from the channel to allow an element to be pivotally attached through the first fastening ring; anda second fastening ring of a generally U-shape including first and second legs attached to the channel, a portion of the second fastening ring extending between the first and second legs of the second fastening ring, wherein the first and second legs of the second fastening ring is spaced from the channel to allow an element to be attached through the second fastening ring, the first and second legs of the second fastening ring secured along the top of the channel and secured to the first and second legs of the first fastening ring; andfirst and second reinforcement plates respectively of a generally U-shape including first and second legs extending from opposite ends of an interconnection portion respectively, the first legs of the first and second reinforcement plates respectively secured to the first side and the first flange of the channel, the second legs of the first and second reinforcement plates respectively secured to the second side and the second flange of the channel, and the interconnection portions of the first and second reinforcement plates respectively secured to the top of the channel and extending outwardly from the channel, with the first and second reinforcement plates being in a spaced and parallel relation to one another, with the first fastening ring located intermediate the first and second reinforcement plates. 2. The support of claim 1 wherein the first clamp comprises a pair of bolts threadably secured to the first side of the channel. 3. The support of claim 1 further comprising: a ratchet mechanism attached to the second fastening ring;a cable attached to the ratchet mechanism;a stand off pipe, with the cable extending through the standoff pipe; andan intermediate stanchion including a channel extension of an omega shape removably attachable to the reinforcement rib and a U-shaped clip attached to the channel extension, with the cable extending through the U-shaped clip. 4. The support of claim 1 wherein the first and second legs of the first fastening ring are connected and extend parallel to the top of the channel. 5. The support of claim 1 further comprising: a brace having a first end and a second end, with the second end of the brace pivotally secured to the first fastening ring. 6. The support of claim 5 further comprising: a U-shaped bridge having first and second extremities spaced from each other, with each of the first and second extremities attached to the brace in a spaced relation intermediate and spaced from the first and second ends, with the brace and the U-shaped bridge having and maintaining an isosceles trapezoid shape. 7. The support of claim 5 further comprising: a post having an upper end and a lower end;a first collar located intermediate the upper and lower ends of the post and slideably secured to the post and moveable between the upper and lower ends of the post, with the first end of the brace pivotally attached to the first collar about a brace axis;a second collar located intermediate the upper and lower ends of the post and slideably secured to the post independent of the first collar and moveable between the upper and lower ends of the post; anda stabilizer having a first end and second end, with the second end of the stabilizer pivotally attached to the second collar about a stabilizer axis perpendicular to the brace axis, with the first end of the stabilizer pivotably connected to another first fastening ring of another channel. 8. The support of claim 7 further comprising: a ratchet mechanism attached to the post;a cable attached to the ratchet mechanism; anda worker harness hooked and slideable along the cable. 9. The support of claim 8 further comprising: a pulley on the upper end of the post, with the cable extending over the pulley. 10. The support of claim 7 further comprising: a cable spool attached to the post;a loop attached to the post; anda cable extending through the loop and wrapped on the cable spool.
