Work carried out at heights, or those that must be performed in trenches, wells, or excavations, among others, involve a great risk for workers regarding the possibility of falling from different heights, which makes it necessary to use Personal Protective Equipment suitable for all these workers, but it is also essential to use the known fall protection systems, which are made up of different devices connected by connectors such as carabiners. These carabiners can be of different types, all available in our store, such as the Aluminum Carabiner Ø18mm screw 110x64mm 20 kN - EN 362 (ref. AZ012).

The Aluminum Carabiner Ø18mm screw 110x64mm 20 kN - EN 362 (ref. AZ012) is a connector made from a lightweight aluminum alloy that has an opening of 18 mm and a weight of 80 grams, with dimensions of 110 x 64 mm and a minimum static resistance of 20 kN. It also complies with the EN 362 standard.

Carabiners are connection elements that should not have sharp or rough elements that could cut or wear down ropes, straps, or bands through friction or any other means, and, of course, should not injure the worker.

To prevent these elements from opening involuntarily, the connectors must be of automatic closure and automatic or manual locking and should only be able to be disengaged with at least two voluntary and continuous actions by the worker, which will provide a greater degree of safety and confidence.

Depending on the use for which they are intended, carabiners should be chosen of one type or another, ensuring in all cases that they are in perfect condition before use, without any signs of rust, deficiency, or deterioration that could call into question their effectiveness. In that case, they should be replaced with a new one.

It is very important that for all work in general, and especially for those carried out at height, all necessary precautionary and safety measures are taken to ensure that all these workers can carry out their respective activities with the least possible risk of falling and that, in the event that a fall occurs, the professional can be suspended until receiving the appropriate assistance.
