* This lifeline is aimed to prevent user from falling. However, the system
itself is not suitable for working at height, it must also be used together
with CE certificated Safety Harness (EN 361, EN 358) shock absorber
lanyard (EN 355), hooks (EN 362) and fall arresters (EN 360)
* Operating Temperature Range Minimum -30’C to Maximum +70’C.
3- Raw material
This horizontal life line;
* Energy absorber is made of polyurethane.
* Anchor Brachate are made of 316 quality stainless steel.
* Pole anchor are made of ST 37 galvanized.
4- Anchor Point (EN 795/C:2012, CEN/TS 16415:2013)
* K-2010 Horizontal Life Line is suitable for 3 user at the same time.
(B-Dynamic Performans Version 2 - Direct installation on to the structure
with post anchor is suiatable for only 2 users.)
The anchor points of the horizontal lifeline is required to have a minimum
strength of 14 kN for use of 3 person. Breaking strenght of the structure
where the lifeline is goint to be installed should be reviewed in accordance
with Dynamic Performance Values.
4.1- Installation
* K-2010 Horizontal Lifeline must be installed by competent people who
have Working at Height Certificate and are trainined and authorized by
Kaya Safety. The responsiblity of whole system belongs to the company
that performed the installation.
* Please refer to K-2010 Horizontal Lifeline installation guide for correct
installation.
4.2. Using SRY-50 Slider
If the system is appropriate to use then SRY-50 Slidder is joint to the
system. SRY-50 slides on the line and so enables users to have a continuous
anchorage point. SRY-50 Slidder can be installed on and removed from any
point of the line.
In order to install SRY-50 onto the system;
* Open the latch of the SRY-50 and place it onto the line (Figure-1),
* Close latch of the SRY-50 (Figure-2),
* Place a K-14 Carabiner onto SRY-50 (Figure-3),
After attaching the SRY-50 onto the system, an appropriate PPE for working
at height must be used. Make sure that all the components are compatible
with whole system.
4.3 Using Lifeline
1- Warning sign must be checked by user before using the system to ensure
that the system is appropriate to use. Make sure that the date of the next
check of the system is not due, or it is not more than a year from the last
date of the check.
2- ,metsystserrallaffotrapasadesusienilefiLlatnoziroH0102-K
nehW
the impact force experienced by the user must be restricted to max of 6 kN.
In order to do so the connection equipment used between safety harness
and Lifeline must be chosen correctly.
3- Your Lanyard or any other connection equipment must be connected
directly to SRY-50 Slider on the horizontal lifeline and to anchorage point
of Fall Arrest Harness indicated with ‘A’.
4- The angle of intermediate anchors of the lifline must be max of 15° and
turn corners must be 60°.
4.3.1 Use of Horizontal Lifeline with Retractable Fall Arrester or Guided
Type Fall Arrester with Flexible Anchor Line (EN 360, EN 353-2);
* The Retractable fall arrester (EN 360) must be compatiable to use with
Horizontal Lifeline. Kaya has tested, approved and certified below models
to use with K-2010 Horizontal Lifeline. For use of any other models, compatibilty
test needs to be performed with K-2010 Horizontal Lifeline and necessary
confirmation must be taken.Kaya is not responsble for the use of non-approved
models.
* Guided type fall arresters including a flexible anchor line (EN 353-2) can
not be used with K-2010 Horizontal Lifeline .
* When working with a retractable fall arrester on the Lifeline, depending
on the type of the model the safe fall distance must be calculated by based
on braking distance of the device. (Table-1)
4.4 Safe Fall Distance
Before working with K-2010 Horizontal Lifeline required fall clearance
must be calculated to reduce the risk of hitting the ground or any obstructions
at a lower level.
4.4.1 Safe Fall Distance - Working with Shock Absorber Lanyard (Figure -5)
Safe Fall Distance = X+A+B+C+D
X: Deflection occurred on Lifeline after fall (D1 values provided in tables
A and B must be considered based on type of lifeline, location and number
of use).
A: Length of Lanyard
B: Length of completely ripped out shock absorber
C: Height of Suspended Worker
D: Clearance to obstruction during fall arrest
4.4.2 Safe Fall Distance – Working with Retractable Fall Arrester (Figure-6)
Safe Fall Distance = X+B+C+D
X: Deflection occurred on Lifeline after fall (D1 values provided in tables
A and B must be considered based on type of lifeline, location and number
of use)
A: Distance of Retractable Fall Arrester to Anchorage Point
B: Lock up Distance of Retractable Fall Arrester (Choose from Table -1)
C: Height of Suspended Worker
D: Clearance to Obstruction during Fall Arrest
5. Supplementary Information Regarding Standard; EN 365
5.1 Rescue Plan
A worker who has been incapacitated by an injury or medical condition and
who is suspended by the full body harness must be rescued immediately.
So you must always have a rescue plan for such emergencies. Adequately
trained personnel and rescue equipment must be on hand for rescue.
5.2 Anchor Point
The anchor point of the system should preferably be located above the
user or should at least located at the waist level of the user. An attachment
point below this level will cause a serious injury or death. The anchor point
must conform to the requirements of the EN 795 standard and the minimum
strength of it must be12kN.
5.3 Various Situations
* A fall arrest harness is the only device allowed for supporting the body in
a fall arrest system.
* In a fall arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance under.
the user before each use, to avoid any impact with the ground or an obstacle
in case of a fall.
* Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit
the risk and the height of a fall.
* When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous situation
can result if the safety function of one piece of equipment is affected by the
safety function of another piece of equipment.
* Users must be medically fit for activities at height. Warning: inert suspension
in a harness can result in serious injury or death.
* The instructions for use for each item of equipment used in conjunction
with this product must be respected.
* The instructions for use must be provided to users of this equipment in
the language of the country in which the product is to be used.
6 Control of Product and Validation
6.1 Before Each Use
Working at height equipment must be inspected before each use and/or
on a regular basis. Findings must be recorded on product control book.
Inspection must be performed based on following control criteria.
* If there is any deformation on system components
* If there is any corrosion on system components
* if system components are exposed to chemicals
If the product has one of the deviations above, it should be withdrawn from
service immediately. Defects found on the product should not be repaired;
manufacturer must be informed about it and user must proceed as per
manufacturer’s recommendation.
6.2 During Each Use
During performing the work at height if the equipment is connected with
another system, make sure that all pieces of equipment in the system are
correctly positioned with respect to each other.
7. Kaya General Information
