6 – For safety’s sake it is essential:
- to assess the risks and make sure that the whole safety sys-

- prepare a rescue plan to deal with any emergencies possibly
arising while the device is being used,
- make sure that work is done in such way as to reduce potential
falls and relevant heights to a minimum,
- make sure that the fall arrest systems conform to the EN 363
standard, and especially that:
- the anchor point conforms to the EN 795 standard, guar-
antees minimum strength of 10 kN and is placed preferably
above the user,
- that the parts being used are suitable (e.g. harness con-
forming to the EN 361 standard, connectors conforming to
the EN 362 standard, etc.).
7 – The anchor position is essential for a safety fall arrest: care-
fully assess the free height under the user (clearance), height
of a potential fall, rope paid out and the “pendulum” effect in
order to avoid all possible obstacles (e.g. ground, material rub-
bing against the rock face, etc..).
