PRODUCT APPLICATION
The SP140 fall arrest lanyard range is designed to be used as part of a personal fall
arrest system, typically used to connect between a User safety harness (EN361) to
a fi xed anchor (EN795). The energy absorber ensures that the deceleration force
exerted on the user during a fall arrest event is less than 6kN. The product must not
be overloaded or used outside its fi eld of application; personal protection for work at
height in accordance with 89/686/CEE PPE directive. All Users must be trained in work
at height activities to a level of competency or must work under direct visual control
of a competent person prior to use of the product. Use of the product is at the Users
own risk and the User assumes responsible for any damages, injuries or death resulting
from incorrect use of the product in any manner whatsoever. If there is any doubt about
the correct use and application of this product do not use it and seek advice from a
competent person or from SpanSet UK Ltd.
PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY
Always ensure, via specifi c training or advice from a competent person, that the
intended application of PPE is compatible with the products used. It cannot be assumed
that all combinations of PPE will interact in a safe manner. Pay particular attention to
verify connectors are positioned and closed in such a manner that any loading of the
safety system does not incorrectly load the connector or has the potential to operate the
connector gate mechanism accidentally. Always ensure the connectors are orientated
to load in the primary axis. All PPE connected into a safety system must conform to the
appropriate EN standards.
PRODUCT USERS
All Users of this product must be in a fi t medical condition to undertake work at height
activities. Prolonged suspension in a harness following a fall arrest event can result in
serious medical conditions or death; therefore ensure there is adequate provision for
rescue and that all relevant rescue equipment and personnel are available to carry out
emergency actions. Personnel MUST be trained and familiar with the relevant rescue
equipment.
