For years, there has been a notable increase in the number of companies and professionals who carry out their work at heights, in confined spaces, or in pits or excavations. These professionals, in addition to the inherent risks of their respective activities, which require the use of specific Personal Protective Equipment, face a common danger in all of them, which is the possibility of falling from different heights, an accident that can have serious consequences in the form of injuries for the professionals. For this reason, precautionary measures must be taken to the extreme, and fall protection systems must be used, which consist of different devices connected to each other by connectors such as carabiners. There are different models of this element on the market, such as the Aluminum Carabiner Ø24mm thread 113x73mm 20 kN - EN 362 (ref. AZ014).

The Aluminum Carabiner Ø24mm thread 113x73mm 20 kN - EN 362 (ref. AZ014) is an element made from a lightweight aluminum alloy that has an opening of 24 mm and a weight of 80 grams, with dimensions of 113 x 73 mm and a minimum static resistance of 20 kN. It complies with the EN 362 standard.

Connectors or carabiners are elements that have been specially designed to connect the different components of a fall protection system, a type of element that can vary based on its manufacturing materials, type of closure, etc. According to the EN 362 standard, they can be classified as basic connector, screw connector, multi-purpose connector, termination connector, or anchorage connector, each of which is suitable for a specific type of work, so it is the responsibility of the person in charge of occupational risk prevention to choose the necessary elements to ensure the safety of their workers in all situations.

These connectors are very important, so they must always be in perfect condition and free from various agents that could pose any risk to the worker. Therefore, before each use, the worker must check the appearance of the connector to ensure there is no rust, corrosion, or other substances, that the locking and automatic closure function properly, and that there are no dents, deformations, or cracks, as the presence of any of these issues will require replacement with a new connector.
