BLOCKST OP BS IKA 1.8 IN USE
E
An adequate clearance of at least 3.90m
below the edge should be provided.
F
To prevent a swinging fall, the work areas or
lateral movements from the central axis to
both sides should be restricted to max 1.50m
respectively. In other cases, no single anchor
points should be used, instead e.g. anchor
devices of Class C (only if approved for joint
use) or Class D acc. to DIN EN 795 should be
used.
Note:
If the retractable type fall arrester is used
on an anchor device acc. to DIN EN 795 with
horizontal guide, the deflection of the anchor
device also needs to be taken into account
when determining the necessary clear height
below the user. To this end, please observe the
information in the user manual of the anchor
device.
Note:
In the event of a fall over an edge, there is a
risk of injury during arresting, if the user colli-
des with parts of the building or construction.
Special rescue measures must be defined and
practiced for the event of a fall over an edge.
