Abstract
A fall protection system having two telescoping supports positioned at either end of a job location in combination with conventional ladders. The two supports retain and securely attach to a horizontal support beam that is the anchoring location for a fall protection harness. The two supports may also be laterally interconnected to the two ladders, which may additionally support a conventional walk board via ladder jacks. A user may then use the walk board to perform installations or repairs above the minimum height necessary for fall protection and be secured against a fall by attaching via a harness and strap to the cross-bar.
