A paint can support box adapted to surround and selectively seal a paint can. A hinged top with a seal is affixed to the box and is movable between an open and a closed position. A mounting system attaches the box to rungs of a ladder. A retaining pin prevents the mounting system from inadvertently becoming detached from the ladder rungs. The box is swivelably attached to the mounting system so that the box remains level regardless of the lean angle of the ladder. The box and its contents may be left on the ladder when the ladder is moved to a new location without risk of paint spilling or the apparatus becoming detached from the ladder. Caulk tubes may also be stored and retained within the box. Multiple size paint cans (e.g. gallon, quart, etc.) may be securely accommodated and sealed with appropriate can adapters.

In one embodiment, a rope and pulley system is provided wherein a first end of the rope is coupled to a base section of the ladder, a second end of the rope is coupled with a fly section of the ladder, and the rope extends between a plurality of pulleys. In one particular embodiment, the rope extends between five different pulleys, two being coupled with the fly section and three being coupled with the base section. At least one portion of the rope may extend along the side of the ladder (e.g., along the side of a rail of the fly section) while another section may extend up the front of the ladder between the rails and in front of the rungs. A fall arrest mechanism, or an ascender device, may be coupled with the section of rope extending up the ladder between the rails and in front of the rungs. 1. A ladder comprising:a base section;a fly section slidably coupled to the base section; a rope having a first end coupled to base section and a second end coupled to the fly section;', 'a plurality of pulleys configured so that at a first section of rope extends along a side rail of the fly section and so that another section of the rope extends from a lower portion of the base section to an upper portion of the fly section while being positioned between a pair of rails of the fly section., 'a rope and pulley system comprising2. The ladder of claim 1 , wherein the another section of rope is substantially centered along both the base section and the fly section.3. The ladder of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pulleys includes at least one pulley coupled with the fly section and at least one pulley coupled with the base section.4. The ladder of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of pulleys includes at least two pulleys coupled with the fly section and at least two pulleys coupled with the base section.5.

Systems and methods for monitoring and reporting the condition of a permanent fall-protection safety system. The systems and methods use a sensor to obtain data corresponding to a physical state of at least one component of the safety system, the at least one component and the sensor being at a remote location and/or at an elevated height, relative to a base unit. The systems and methods further include wirelessly transmitting the data to the base unit, processing the data to reach an indication of a change in a physical state of the at least one component of the safety system, and reporting the condition of the safety system based on the indication of the physical state of the at least one component of the safety system. 1. A method of monitoring and reporting the condition of a permanent fall-protection safety system , the method comprising:using a stationary, permanent, self-powered sensor to obtain data corresponding to a physical state of at least one component of the safety system, to which component a permanent, elongate member of the safety system is connected, wherein the at least one component and the sensor are at a remote location and/or at an elevated height, relative to a base unit;wirelessly transmitting the data to the base unit;processing the data to reach an indication of a change in a physical state of the at least one component of the safety system,and,reporting the condition of the safety system based on the indication of the change in the physical state of the at least one component of the safety system.2. The method of wherein the permanent claim 1 , elongate member of the safety system is a tensioned cable.3. The method of wherein the safety system is a vertical fall-protection safety system and wherein the at least one component of the safety system is a top bracket of the safety system claim 2 , to which top bracket the tensioned cable is connected.4.
