SPECIFIC INFORMATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE – LANYARDS
Summary
elements in a fall arrest system. Some lanyards can also be used as temporary portable anchor devices (EN
795/B:2012 / ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007- reference chart).
This product is intended for use to protect and prevent against risks of falling from above in industry, in construction
work, in rescue and, more generally, for any application of work at a height.
All the lanyards, even those made of metal cable, are not indestructible and can be cut by sharp tools (i.e. chain-saw,
etc.); therefore always use a backup line during cutting activities.
Various models and standard versions are available, shown in Tab. A. Other special combinations of connectors and
special lengths are available and the relative data are shown on the product marking.
Use
) is calculated
using the following equation:
Fall Factor = Height of Fall / Length of Lanyard.
In situations where the Fall Factor will be 0 (e.g. the worker is positioned under the anchor point on a tensioned
lanyard), positioning equipment is adequate.
Fall arrest equipment must be used for other situations where the Fall Factor is greater than 1 or more freedom of
. For connection to an
energy absorber EN 355 and to the attachment point of a fall arrest harness, see
. Do not connect to the side
point of a work positioning belt (
as fall arresters). In this case, the maximum length of the system (lanyard+absorber+connectors) must not exceed
When there is a possibility of a fall, ensure the sling/webbing remains tight, avoid any slack. Refer to the absorber and
harness use manual to verify correct connection. The anchor point must be located above the work area and must be
anchors). The static strength is (see chart), as shown in
. Limit the amount of slack during the use in order to
reduce the possibility of fall. Do not tie knots in the sling/webbing. Should the sling/webbing come into contact with
are necessary for intervention in case of a fall.
Installation instructions for EN 795/B lanyards
. Portable anchor devices must be loaded
by one person only. Do not stay above the anchor point: risk of failure/injuries in case of fall. Take measures to avoid
pendulum. If used in a fall arrest system, the system must limit the peak force below 6 kN. The maximum load that
could be transmitted in service from the anchor device is 9 kN. This force is transmitted to the structure, which must
20% of its length. It is recommended to mark the device with the date of last inspection. Do not use the product for
lifting equipment.
