THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF USE OF PPE AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
WITHDRAWN FROM USE
The fall arrester must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe use and not used again
until confirmed in writing by device manufacturer or his certified representative after carried out the detailed inspection.
The fall arrester must be withdrawn from use immediately and sent to the device manufacturer of his certified representative to
carry out detailed inspection when it hasbeen used to arrest a fall. Any repair or service operation shall only be carried out by fall
arrester manufacturer or his certified representative.
The fall arrester must be connected to structural
anchor point by the top swivel link (CR240) using a
connector [A] or top connector (CR241) [A1] or
sling [B] complying with EN362 or EN795
standards. It is strictly prohibited to attach the
device using its carrying handle [C].
Structural anchorage point should be situated
above the job place and have static resistance
min. 12kN.
The shape of the structural anchorage point should
not let self-acting disconnection of the device. It is
recommended to use certified and marked
structural anchorage point complied with EN 795.
The retractable fall arrester shall be installed above
the operator. When the device is installed in the
vertical line above the user the minimal clearence
distance below working level shall be 1,5 m.
When the cable of the retractable fall arrester is
deflected from vertical line a pendulum effect occurs
during fall arresting. In order to minimise the
pendulum effect the cable deviation angle from
vertical shall never exceed 40°. For this purpose
the user is permitted to move laterally through
distance “l” not greater than 1/2 “v” .
The clearance distance bellow working level must
be greater than 1,5 m+ lateral distance “l”.
