Caution
* Harness should be adjusted according to your body in order to prevent the
possible injuries in case of a fall.
* Carabiners should be locked and carabiners with automatic lock should
be preferred.
* Avoid contact with sharp and abrasive surfaces while working.
4.1 Preparation
* Usage of lanyard with energy absorber is always advised.
* Double safe carabiners with wide mouth opening located on the tips of
lanyard provide ease at work.
* Two-leg lanyard with energy absorber should be preferred for work if the
work at height is not at a fixed point but includes moving left – right and
up - down.
* Connect your energy absorber with lanyard only to the anchorage point
located on your chest or, if not present, to the anchorage point (EN 361)
located at the back.
4.2.1 Choosing Harness A Attachment Point (Figure-1)
* Connect your lanyard with energy absorber only to the anchorage point
located on your chest or, if not present, to the anchorage point (EN 361)
located at the back.
As shown on figure-2.1, connect your lanyard to the sternal A anchorage
point if there is a chance of hitting obstacles in front in the case of a fall.
As shown on figure-2.2, connect your lanyard to the dorsal A anchorage
point if there is a chance of hitting obstacles at the back in the case of a fall.
4.3 Obligations
* Advised length of the lanyard with energy absorber should be 1.2 meters
maximum including the carabiners. Legally maximum length of the
lanyard is stated as 2 meters.
* Fall distance should not be more than 2.4 meters.
* While working with the lanyard with energy absorber, slope of the working
surface which is used as an anchorage point should not exceed 15°. Surfaces
exceeding 15° of slope might cause falls more than 2.4 meters.
4.4 Anchorage Point ( EN 795:2012)
Anchorage point or the system should always be secured at a point above
the user; it should have a minimum 12 kN strength and should be in
accordance with EN 795 standard.
