Sharp edges, ridges and crushing can
seriously impair the stability. These should be
covered, where necessary, using suitable
auxiliary equipment. The anchor point and the
anchoring must be able to withstand the
expected loads in a worst-case scenario. Even if
energy absorbers (to EN 355) are used, the
anchor points must be specified for a fall
arresting force of up to 10 kN, also refer to EN
795
When using a lanyard (fall arrest system), please
note that the maximum overall length of the
lanyard including shock absorbers and
connecting components must not exceed 2.0m.
