After a fall-protection system has
arrested a fall, all components of
the system must be removed from
service and sent to the supplier or
manufacturer for inspection with
a note stating that the system has
arrested an actual fall.
4. Use
Using the fall arrest device in accordance with
EN 360:
•
Before and during use of the fall arrest
device, consider how help can be safely
and efficiently provided in the event of a
fall.
•
Always read the label on the fall arrest
device and refer to chapter 10 "Fall arrest
device labeling. "
•
Do not use handles, etc. to anchor the fall
arrest device.
•
If the fall arrest device is used as part of
a fall protection system, the user must
use equipment that limits the maximum
dynamic force on the body in the event
of a fall to 6 kN. A fall absorber can be
installed for this.

thetic fiber or steel in accordance with EN 354
section 4.2.2 & 4.2.3.
The exact materials used are indicated on the
equipment label.
7. Limitations of use
Temperature
Do not use the fall arrest devices in environ-

Corrosion
Do not expose the fall arrest device to cor-
rosive environments for extended periods.
Organic materials and salt water in particular
will cause metal components to corrode. If the
fall arrest device is regularly used in a corrosive
environment, more frequent inspections,
cleaning, and drying is required.
Electrical hazards
Exercise extra care when using the mobile
fall arrest device and flexible anchor line near
electric current sources.
Metal components of the mobile fall arrest
device for flexible anchor lines are electrically
