General information

The horizontal lifeline system is a temporary anchorage system in
accordance with EN 795 Type B and Type C (personal fall protection
equipment). It acts as an anchor point, to be used with EN 354
lanyards, energy absorbers (EN 355), mobile fall arrest devices (EN
353-2) or fall arrest blocks (EN360), which limit the dynamic forces
to a maximum of 6 kN (impact force). Ensure that all persons are
protected against falling into the entry opening and from the edge.
Depending on the situation, individual fall protection must be
observed even during set-up. When working in enclosed spaces/
areas with a fall hazard, ensure that a fail-safe system with safety
harness is used, which enables the rescue of workers in an
emergency situation; e.g. a fall arrest retrieval block (EN 360 in
conjunction with EN 1496) and an appropriate rescue plan. The
anchorage system must only be installed by a qualified person and
must be properly inspected. Use of the anchorage system is only
permitted for the purposes explained in this document. No
modifications may be made to the products.

1.) Assembly/Installation

1.1) Attach the horizontal lifeline system to the 2 anchor points. These
must have a minimum strength of 6 kN and be a maximum of 20 m
apart. Ensure the carabiners are locked and that the locking
mechanism does not catch on the anchor point. Structural integrity
must be guaranteed by a structure that is suitable for its intended
purpose and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis as part of a risk
analysis to be completed in full.
1.2) There must be a minimum of 30 cm webbing at the free end.
1.3) ATTENTION: Adjust length and tension with the ratchet. Pre-
tensioning of the entire system has a significant influence on the forces
generated on the anchor point and system when loaded. In the worst
case scenario, these resulting forces can lead to the failure of the
entire fall arrest system. To minimise the total forces, pre-tensioning
must, in all circumstances, be adjusted to a clearly defined standard.
To avoid complex calculations in areas with a fall hazard, take
account of both the calculated mid-system sag and the wrapping of
