10. Associated equipment

The tirsafe™ T3 lifeline is a component of a horizontal
fall-arrest system which must comply with standard EN
363 and which must comprise:
1. Anchors compliant with EN 795 with a minimum
strength of 30 kN at break point.
2. Fall-arrest harnesses EN 361
3. Steel connectors used as mobile anchor points in
accordance with EN 362
4. A lanyard LD LDF LS LSD LES complying with
standard EN 354 (restricted use not allowing risk of
fall), table No. 2,
5. Specially tested fall arresters for use on tirsafe™ T3
lifelines.
Authorised devices:
Blockfor™ Fall Arrester: B1.8A ESD - B1.8B ESD - B5
ESD - B6 ESD - B10 ESD - B20 ESD complies with
EN360 stopfor™ K; stopfor B ™ complies with the
EN353-2 standard Fall arrest absorber lanyard LDA -
LDAD - LSA - LSEA LSAD complies with the EN355
standard.
All other associations are forbidden.
WARNING
A fall-arrest harness EN 361 is the only safety
harness which can be used in a fall-arrest system.
In all utilization situations, you must combine
the deflection of the tirsafe™ T3 lifeline (in
accordance with its length and the number of users
(tables 1 and 2), and the maximum fall distance
recommended by the manufacturer of the fall
arrester used.
If a fall arrester compliant with standard EN 360
is used, the supervisor must make sure by all
appropriate means, under risk-free conditions, that
the risk of a rebound in the event of an operator fall
does not represent a hazard to the operator.
In accordance with European specifications, each of
the components attached together, numbered from 1)
to 6) above, marketed by TRACTEL
marking, as a result of an EC type-examination, and
has been subject to production quality control.
WARNING
Before installation, verify that the area under the
lifeline is
free from of any living presence.
