The FABA™ climbing protection system
complies with standard EN 353-1. It will
be supplied as either a complete climbing
protection ladder (climbing protection
rails with rungs) or as a climbing protec-
tion rail for fi tting to existing ladders or
other manhole steps. The fall arrest slider
is an integral part of the climbing protec-
tion system and together with the clim-
bing protection rails it forms a package of
fall arrest systems that safeguard against
falling. Each FABA™ fall protection de-
vice has undergone, in conjunction with
suitable guide rails, EU proto type testing
at a registered certifi ca tion offi ce.
The FABA™ fall arrest slider runs in
the climbing protection rail profi le and
it accompanies the user, without any
manual intervention being necessary,
when going up or down and locks in place
automatically in the rail in the event of a
DEKRA
fall. In this case the locking mechanism
on the fall arrest slider locks into one of
the notches in the rail profi le and this
prevents the fall arrest slider from moving
downwards and this action saves the user
from falling.
The FABA™ climbing protection sy-
stem is an integral part of the fall arrest
system that complies with EN 363 and
has to be assembled from the following
components:
1. FABA™ climbing protection rail
(EN 353-1)
2. FABA™ fall arrest slider (EN 353-1)
3. Connector (EN 362)
4. Harness (EN 361)
