REQUIRED FREE DISTANCE BELOW WORKING LEVEL FOR WORKER PROTECTED WITH ENERGY ABSORBER WITH LANYARD

!

free distance below working surface must be 6,2 m (see drawing no.1)

!

drawings no.2 and no. 3 show  free distance below working surface depending on location of Structural Anchor Point.

The energy absorber with lanyard

 

is a component of personal fall arrest equipment and complies with EN355. 

Fall arrest system consisted of energy absorber with lanyard

attached to the full body harness (complied with EN 361) and connected to the structural 

anchor point (complied with EN 795) can be used as a basic personal protective equipment against falls from a height.
Caution: The total length of the energy absorber with lanyard including terminations and connectors shall not exceed 2 m.

Periodic inspections must only be carried out by a competent person who has the knowledge and training required for personal protective equipment 
periodic inspections. Depending upon the type and environment of work, inspections may be needed to be carried out more frequently than once every 
12 months. Every periodic inspection must be recorded in the Identity Card of the equipment. 

Maximum lifespan of the equipment 

The maximum lifespan of the energy absorber with lanyard is 10 years from the date of manufacture. 
The energy absorber with lanyard must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed when it has been used to arrest a fall or it fails to pass inspection or 
there are any doubt as to its reliability.
