Utilization for roof work
This retractable type fall arrester was successfully tested for horizontal use
and drop over an edge. The equipment may be used over similar edges as
follows: rolled steel profiles, wooden beams or clad, rounded roof parapet. In
case of very “cutting type edge or “free of burrs” (such as unclad roof rusty
steel girder or a sharp concrete edge an edge protector should be mounted. The
retractable device shall be associated with roof lanyard AZ 800.
The end of lanyard has to be connected to the cable carabineer of the
retractable device. The end of energy absorber must be attached to “A” buckles
of safety harness by connector compliant with EN 362. The retractable type
fall arrester must be anchored to structure of building at least 3 m from the
edge along which the user operates (distance “x” – see. fig. 1, fig. 2). The
anchor point may be situated at the same height as the edge at witch a fall
might occur or above this level. The user is permitted to move laterally
through distance “y” not greater than “x” (see fig. 1). The clearance distance
(distance “h” – see fig.2) between roof level and ground level must be greater
than 3 m + 1/2 lateral distance “y” but not less than 3 m. To minimise fall
distance and pendulum movement the “x” and the “y” distances should be
minimized, respecting the minimum distance “x”=3m. The user shall take into
consideration the existing risks of injury during fall arrest after he fall
over the edge. For the event of fall over the edge, special rescue measures
shall be defined and trained.
