used.   

 

Anchor points must have a 
minimum static strength of 
1225kg (12kN) per attached 

 

 

 

G.Saver II.

Connectors 

 

Connectors used with the G.Saver II should be to EN 362 
or equivalent. 

 

Metal connectors must have a minimum strength of 
1530kg (15kN), in the direction of loading. 

 

Webbing products or non-metallic connectors must have 
a minimum strength of 2240kg (22kN).  These must not 
be used in contact with sharp edges or rough abrasive 
surfaces that may cause damage.   

 

 

Lanyards must not be used to extend the length of the 
wire rope.  Where deemed suitable by the harness 
manufacturer, a short strap (0.5m maximum length) may 
be fitted, to extend the attachment point of the full body 
harness allowing easier connection of the safety hook.

Attaching to the User 

 
The User must wear a Full Body Harness that meets the 
requirements of EN361.  Connect the G.Saver II’s Safety 
Hook Karabiner directly to the fall arrest attachment point of 
the Harness.  Ensure that the gate is closed and locked.
