4.) Use
4.1) Before using the device, a functional test must be
performed. First inspect the unit including the full length of
the retractable lanyard/s ensuring the lanyard/s pull out &
retract smoothly. To check the locking action pull sharply on
the line two to three times to ensure the device is locking. If
any faults are evident the device should be immediately
withdrawn from service and destroyed.
4.2) The length should not be adjusted in an area with risk
of falling.
4.3) Please note the overall length of a fastener attached to
an HSG Compact (including terminations and fastening
elements).
4.4) The maximum forces initiated into the structure in the
event of a fall is max. 6 kN.
4.5) Avoid slack rope.
4.6) The anchor point should be perpendicular above the
workplace. If the anchor point is beneath the workplace, a
fall may result in hitting lower lying parts. If the anchor point
is on the side, a fall may result in hitting lateral parts. The
height of the anchor point and the required the effective-
ness of the system (see Figure 2):
Stopping distance of the HSG Compact (see Figure 2)
+ Initial length of the fastener (see Figure 3)
+ Body length (see x, Figure 2)
+ safety distance (approx. 1 m ‒ see Figure 2)
+ Any stretch of the anchor device (e.g. EN 795 B/C, see
instruction manual of manufacturer). Do not use the HSG
Compact as tether, i.e. do not hold on to or pull yourself up
on the HSG Compact.
5.) Edge suitability
The HSG Compact was subjected after the basic principle
for personal fall protection equipment for use in work bas-
kets of mobile aerial work platforms to a double edge test.
Furthermore, it has been tested with a steel bar (radius r =
0.5 mm with no burs) for horizontal use and a resulting fall
over an edge. On the basis of this test, the HSG Compact
is suitable for use over similar edges. Notwithstanding this
test, the following must be taken into account with a hori-
zontal or oblique use where there is a risk of falling over an
edge:
1. If the risk assessment carried out before the start of work
shows that the fall edge is a particularly “sharp” and/or
“not free from burs” edge, then
