BLOCKST OP BS IKA 1.8 IN USE
USE IN WORK CAGES ON ELEVATED WORK
PLATFORMS
The retractable type fall arrester BLOCKSTOP
BS IKA 1.8 serves to protect the user against
falls when ejected (catapult-whiplash
effect) in combination with a full body
harness EN 361 in work cages on elevated
work platforms equipped with suitable
anchor points.
In principle, injuries to the user e.g. impact
against the work cage or the boom of the
elevated work platform cannot be ruled out
when using the BLOCKSTOP BS IKA 1.8.
CAUTION:
Observe the user manual of the elevated work
platform.
A
Anchor points must be adequately strong,
min. 3kN, and must be located at least 40cm
below the handrail. If higher anchor points
are used, the safety of the retractable type
fall arrester is no longer guaranteed.
CAUTION RISK TO LIFE
If this personal protective equipment is used as
an arresting system (free fall possible), a full
body harness that complies to EN 361 must al-
ways be worn.
B
Attach the HSG BLOCKSTOP BS IKA 1.8 with
suitable connection elements (L:Max.110mm)
acc. to EN 362 to the anchor point of the work
cage.
CAUTION:
Steps should be taken to ensure that no trans-
verse loads are exerted onto the swivel anchor
D-ring.
C
Attach the safety karabiners of the BLOCKSTOP
BS IKA 1.8 to the rear D-ring of the full body
harness or on the end of the rear D-ring exten-
sion (maximum allowed length = 40cm). It is
prohibited to use an extension in combination
with the sternal D-ring of the full body har-
ness.
