Competent Person Definition
The job site safety supervisor, referred to in this manual as
the Competent Person (CP), must be a highly trained and
experienced person who is assigned by the employer to
be responsible for all elements of the fall safety program;
this includes, but is not limited to, program regulation,
management, and application. The CP must be proficient
in identifying existing and predictable fall hazards, and
must have the authority to stop work to eliminate hazards or
otherwise promote safe and compliant work practices.
Product Specific Applications
ATOM-X & ATOM-XTREME
May be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 in
a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for
use in Fall Arrest applications and will
reduce fall arrest forces to no greater than 6kN.
No free fall is permitted.
D-ring: Dorsal (rear), Sternal (chest)
ATOM-X²
May be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 in
a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for
use in Fall Arrest applications and will
reduce fall arrest forces to no greater than 6kN.
Applicable Safety Standards
Meets or exceeds:
EN360:2002
For All Product Applications
ATOM-X & ATOM-XTREME
Maximum User weight (including all
clothing, tools, and equipment) is 150kg.
ATOM-X²
Maximum User weight (including all
clothing, tools, and equipment) is 136kg.
(FF0-FF2*)
*See Diagram A on page 17
Anchorage point in PFAS must be rated to
withstand minimum 12kN load and be
EN 795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000 approved.
The job site Competent Person (CP) must
ensure that there are sufficiently strong and
accessible anchorage points in the working
environment. Anchorages should be overhead
when possible and the area beneath and around
them should be clear of obstruction and sharp
edges. Always attach to an anchorage that
is as close to the point of work and as high
above head as possible without restricting free
movement. The user should be aware at all
times of which attachment points to use; if not
immediate obvious they must seek confirmation
from the CP. Always ensure that the means of
attachment to the anchorage is secure before
beginning work.
