After a fall, the length of the POY lanyard is increased by a
value which is proportional to the height of the fall.
Inspection before use
Check:
• Visual inspection of the state of the lanyard, the seams and/or
the splices. The rope, belt and stitches should not show
any signs of wear and tear, abrasion, fraying, burns or cuts.
The adjusting parts should not show any signs of corrosion
and should function correctly. In case of doubt, immediately
remove the equipment from use (harness and connectors…).
• Check the state of the harness and connector attachments.
• Check the complete fall arrester system.
Lanyard equipped with a tear-type energy absorber at end of
lanyard:
• Check that the energy absorber has not already served to
stop a fall: the tearing-rupture belt must be situated inside the
protective sheath. If the lanyard has been used to prevent a
fall, the energy absorber will be stretched and a part of its belt
shall be found outside the sheath. It is forbidden and
dangerous to put the belt back inside the sheath as the system
will not function properly.
Tubular strap lanyard equipped with a POY energy absorber
inside:
• Check that the strap lanyard equipped with a POY energy
absorber has not already been used to stop a fall or for any
other reason. If so, it has been elongated and must no longer
be used. It must be scrapped.
• To check if the lanyard has already been used to stop a fall or
for any other reason, measure the length of the lanyard
(connectors included) and check that it corresponds to the
designation indicated on the marking label: see fig. 2c, r.
A tolerance of +/- 50 mm is acceptable with respect to the
length indicated on the marking label. In all cases, if the POY
tubular strap lanyard is elongated, it must be discarded.
As far as possible, the structural anchorage point should be at a
height of between 1.5 and 2 metres above the feet of the user.
The anchoring point must withhold a minimal resistance of
10 kN.
The connection to the anchoring point or to the structure must
be done using an EN 362 connector.
For connecting the fall arrester system to the anti-fall harness,
please refer to the instructions manual provided with the
harness to be sure to use the correct hook and attaching
method.
• Belt: polyamide and polyester,
• Elastic strap : polyamide and rubber,
• Braided polyamide rope: ø 9 mm to ø 14 mm,
• Stranded polyamide rope: ø 12 mm to ø 16 mm,
• Polyamide and polyester belt absorber,
• POY webbing and polyester tubular strap.
CAUTION
Before and during use, it is necessary to plan out how
possible rescue can be efficiently and safely conducted,
within less than 15 minutes. Beyond such time, the person's
life is in danger.
Installation
CAUTION
If the user is not directly vertical with respect to the
anchorage point, in the event of a fall, he will swing and may
hit an obstacle.
Materials
Fall arrester system (EN 363):
• EN 795 Anchorage.
• An end connector (EN 362).
• A fall arrest system (EN 353-1/2 - EN 355 - EN 360).
• A fall arrest harness (NF EN 361).
See figure 3 on page 3.
• If a lanyard becomes dirty, wash it in clean cold water, possibly
with a detergent for delicate fabrics, using a synthetic-fibre
brush.
• When the lanyard becomes wet, either during use or washing,
leave it to dry naturally in the shade and away from all sources
of heat.
• During stocking and transport, protect the equipment against
any danger (cutting edge, direct heat source, chemical
substances, UV, etc.). The equipment must be transported in a
water-resistant packaging.
