JSP FAR0206 Anleitung Zu Gebrauch, Pflege Und Überprüfung Seite 4

• If the risk assessment carried out before the start of work shows that the fall edge is a particularly "sharp" and/or "not
free from burs" edge (e.g. unclad proof parapet or sharp concrete edge), then:
• Corresponding precautions must be taken before the start of work to rule out the risk of falling over the edge or
• Edge protection should be mounted before the start of work
• You should contact the manufacturer for further information
• The anchor point for the lanyard/energy absorber must not be below the user's foot level (e.g. platform, flat roof).
• The deflection at the edge (measured between the two legs of the fastener / mobile guide) must be at least 90°.
• The necessary free space beneath the edge must be at least 6.75m.
• The lanyard must always be used in such a way that there is no slack. If the lanyard is equipped with a length
adjustment device, this may only be used if the user is not moving in the direction of the fall edge.
• To prevent a pendulum fall, the working area and lateral movements from the median axis on both sides should be
limited in each case to a maximum 1.5m. In other cases, no individual anchor points should be used but rather a Class
C or D anchor device conforming to EN 795.
Note: If the lanyard/energy absorber is used with a Class C anchor device pursuant to EN 795 with a horizontal flexible
anchor line, the deflection of the anchor device must also be taken into account when determining the necessary
clearance beneath the user. Pay attention to the details in the instructions of use of the anchor device.
Note: After a fall over an edge there is a risk of injuries during the fall/suspension if the falling person knocks against
parts of the building or construction.
• Because of the potential event of a fall over an edge, special rescue measures are to be stipulated and trained for.
3. EN 358 LANYARDS
The work positioning lanyards are an adjustable lanyard made up of Polyamide rope or Polyester webbing with a steel
ring type adjuster or a rope grab. The length can be adjusted using the adjuster ring or the rope grab.
The lanyards can be attached to the attachment elements/ D-rings of the work positioning belts using connectors.
• Connect the lateral attachment element of your work positioning belt to one end, loop the lanyard around the vertical
support and attach the connector to the other attachment element of the work positioning belt.
• Adjust the length of the lanyard using the ring type adjuster or the rope grab by pulling the free side of the rope to
tighten it. In use, the lanyard should be kept taut.
• Do not use the ring adjuster as an attachment point. The below picture shows the Positioning Lanyard as would be
used by a user. Looping the lanyard twice is recommended to prevent it from slipping down.

• The anchorage point should be maintained at or
above the waist level. The lanyard is kept taut and
free movement is restricted to a maximum of 0.6 m.
• The work positioning lanyard should be used
for positioning only.
• We do not produce any accessories for the work positioning
lanyard and strongly recommend not to use work positioning
lanyard with any substandard accessory. The user shall be
responsible for any damage occurring under such circumstances.
• Regularly check fastening and/or adjustment elements during use.
• The lanyard is not suitable for fall arrest purposes and it may be necessary to supplement arrangements for work
positioning or restraints with collective means (e.g. safety nets) or personal means (e.g. fall arrest systems in
accordance with EN 363) of protection against falls from height.
• The device should be used with appropriate combinations only. The user should not make any combination which
compromises safe function of any other devices used in combination or entire fall protection system or rescue system.
• When using a work positioning system, the user normally relies on the equipment for support, therefore it is essential to
consider the need of using a back-up, e.g. a fall arrest system.
LIMITATIONS:
• Do not use if you have any medical conditions which could affect your safety in both normal and emergency use.
• The equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
• A rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during work.
• Do not make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent.
• The equipment should not be used outside its limitation, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.
• The product should be a personal property of its user.
• Ensure the compatibility of items of equipment when assembled into a system.
• It is important to check before use for any dangers that may arise by the use of combinations of equipment in which the
safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
• Carry out a pre-use check of the product, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition & operates correctly before it
is used.
• Withdraw from use any equipment where there is any doubt about its condition for safe use or if it has been used to
arrest a fall. Do not use again until it is confirmed by a competent person.
• Ensure that the anchor device is strong enough & has a minimum strength of 12kN for metal & 18kN for textile and the
anchor point will preferably be situated above the user's head.
• Connect directly to the anchor point or device with the connector, the lanyard should not be wrapped round a structural
member to make an anchorage unless the device has been tested and CE approved for this specific application (such
lanyard designs generally feature a special wear sleeve and suitable connector).
• Attach the lanyard to the correct attachment point on their full body harness.
• For a restraint application the anchor position should be set back from the edge and away from any potential fall position.
• When intended to be used in a fall arrest systems, it is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point
should always be positioned and the work carried out in such a way as to minimise both the pendulum and the
potential fall distance. When the fall arrest system must be placed above the position of the user, the manufacturer
