STANDARDS

- EN360:2002: A retractable fall arrester is a device equipped with a lanyard (made of cable or strap) that is kept constantly under tension, following the movements of the users. The system automatically locks and immobilizes in the event of a user fall. Available in different lengths. Breaking strength > 12 kN (cable lanyard) or > 15kN (textile lanyard).

USAGE

It should only be used in work that requires significant movement.

HOW TO CHOOSE

The choice of fall arrester should be made based on the movements that need to be carried out. Obviously, when choosing the fall arrest system, the position of the attachment point should be considered.

If the movement is purely vertical (along a ladder, for example), a sliding fall arrester on a safety support should always be favored. They have the advantage of being able to be installed (some of them) permanently on the structure.

If the movements can be horizontal and vertical, an automatic retractable fall arrester should be prioritized. This is the fall arrester that provides the greatest freedom of movement.

Sliding fall arresters should always be used vertically from the anchor point.

Automatic retractable fall arresters are particularly suitable for low-height work, as the locking is almost instantaneous, thus limiting the necessary free height.

For work on an inclined plane with a sliding fall arrester, it is necessary for the fall arrester to be equipped with a manual locking system.

APPLICATIONS

It can be used wherever the user needs great freedom of movement and has to navigate obstacles while remaining safe.

Fall arresters on safety supports are mainly used for the following professions:

• Work on poles
• Work on rocky walls
• Work on lifts
• Window cleaning
• Rope access technician
• Rescuer
• Roofer-sealing technician
• Antenna technician, telecommunications

Automatic retractable fall arresters will be used more for the following professions:

Facade work, on terraces, on scaffolding, on boats, and in maintenance.
