to 6 kN and limits the impact transmitted to the user in case of a fall.
* The lenght of energy absorber after tearing is 1,75 meter.
4.6 Fall Clearance
* Fall clearance is the minimum length required to prevent an impact with
the ground in case of a fall. Fall Clearance is defined as necessary distance
between the anchorage point and the ground (or first obstacle) to avoid
crashing into the ground in case of a fall.
* Fall length in between the anchorage point and the ground should be
minimum 6,25 meters.
Elements needed to calculate fall clearance are;
A - Length of the Energy absorber with lanyard
B - Energy Absorber Extension
C - Height of User
D - Safety Margin
5 Control of product and validation
5.1 Before every single use
Working at height equipment must be
personalized. These products must be controlled on a regular basis before
and after each single use. Findings must be recorded into product record

surface, apply the following controls;
* Webbings or ropes should be checked for cuts, abrasions, color change,
broken stitches and undue stretching
* Metal parts should be checked for signs of wear, cracks, deformation,
corrosion or other damage.
* Connectors should be checked for sign of wear, cracks, deformation,
corrosion, dirt. The gate and the locking mechanism should work smoothly
and without any problem. The gate should open and close completely.
* Labels should be secure and legible.
During the controls if at least one of these deviation is found, usage of
the equipment should be suspended or retired and immediately send back
to producer for detailed inspection. No repair is allowed by unauthorised
person. Only producers directions should be applied.
5.2 During each use
During the working at height if you need to use this product connected with
other systems, make sure that all pieces of equipment in the system are
correctly positioned and compatible with each other.
6. Supplementary information regarding standard; EN 365
6.1 Rescue Plan
A worker who has been incapacitated by an injury or medical condition and
who is suspended by the full body harness must be rescued immediately.
So you must always have a rescue plan for such emergencies. Adequately
trained personnel and rescue equipment must be on hand for rescue.
6.2 Anchor Point
The anchor point of the system comprises this product should preferably
be located above the user or should at least located at the waist level of
the user. An attachment point below this level will cause a serious injury
or death. The anchor point must meet the requirements of the EN 795
standard and the minimum strength of it must be 12 kN.
6.3 Various Situations
* A energy absorber lanyard is the only device allowed for supporting the
body in a fall arrest system.
* In a fall-arrest system, it is essential to check the required clearance
under the user before each use, to avoid any impact with the ground or an
obstacle in case of a fall.
* Make sure that the anchor point is correctly positioned, in order to limit
the risk and the height of a fall.
* When using multiple pieces of equipment together, a dangerous situation
can result if the safety function of one piece of equipment is affected by the
safety function of another piece of equipment.
* Users must be medically fit for activities at height. Warning, inert
suspension in a harness can result in serious injury or death.
* The instructions for use for each item of equipment used in conjunction
with this product must be respected.
* The instructions for use must be provided to users of this equipment in
the language of the country in which the product is to be used.
