APPLICATION

These anchorage slings are for use as mobile anchorage points and form part of a work restraint/positioning or fall arrest

system. It is often advantageous to use slings in areas where there are horizontal beams or pipes or other structures (of

sufficient strength and integrity) where they can be looped and used as an anchor point. Follow step 1 to step 3.

Step 1: Identify a beam or similar horizontal structure strong enough, will not deflect and known to have a strength of

greater than 12 kN. If in doubt DO NOT USE.

Step 2: Loop the anchorage sling around the beam as shown in figure below. Use connectors if required. Ensure that the

connector is locked tightly.

Step 3: The hanging connector can now be used as an anchorage point. You can either attach a retractable fall arrestor

as per EN 360, an anchorage line of a guided type fall arrestor as per EN 353-2 or the anchorage hook of the lanyard

into this point.

NB: the anchorage sling must be used for fall protection equipment and not for lifting equipment or persons.

LIMITATIONS

• The anchorage sling has been tested to EN 795 (Type B) and is only for single person use.

• Do not use if you have any medical conditions which could affect your safety in both normal and emergency use;

• The equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.

• A rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during work.

• Do not make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent.

• The equipment should not be used outside its limitation, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.

• The product should be a personal property of its user.

• Ensure the compatibility of items of equipment when assembled into a system.

• It is important to check before use for any dangers that may arise by the use of combinations of equipment in which the

safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.

• Carry out a pre-use check of the product, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition & operates correctly before it is used.

• Withdraw from use any equipment where there is any doubt about its condition for safe use or if it has been used to

arrest a fall. Do not use again until it is confirmed by a competent person.

• The anchor point must have a strength of greater than 12 kN. Ensure that the structure on to which the sling is being

looped/anchored is free of sharp edges or burrs or contaminants which may damage the Anchor Sling.

• When intended to be used in a fall arrest system, it is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point should

always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the pendulum and the potential fall

distance. Ensure that the anchorage slings are installed directly above the user's head whenever possible.

When intended to be used in fall arrest systems, it is essential for safety to verify the free space required beneath the

user at the workplace before each use, so that in case of a fall there will be no collision with the ground or other

obstacle in the fall path.

• Be aware of hazards that may affect the performance or cause failure of the equipment, such as:

• extreme temperatures (below -15°C and above +50°C)

• aggressive environmental conditions including sand & grit, cement, hot surfaces, naked flames, welding splatter,

sparks, electrical conductivity

• contact with: sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, chemicals

• Immediately stop using the product if it is exposed to any of the above or is damaged in any way until it has been

inspected by a competent person;

• The device should be used as a part of a fall arrest system, this system limit the maximum dynamic forces exerted on

the user during the arrest of a fall to a maximum of 6 kN.

• It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the

reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in the language of

the country in which the product is to be used

COMPATIBILITY

The anchorage sling shall only be used within a fall arrest/prevention system according to EN 363 in combination with

connector conforming to EN 362, a guided-type fall arrester on a flexible anchor line conforming to EN 353-2, a lanyard

with energy absorber conforming to EN 355, a lanyard conforming to EN 354 or a retractable type fall arrester conforming

to EN 360. The instructions for use for the individual components are to be observed at all times.

To optimise protection, in some instance it may be necessary to use the anchorage sling with suitable boots/gloves/

helmet/ear defenders. In this case, before carrying out the risk-related activity, consult your supplier to ensure that all

your protective products are compatible and suitable for your application.

LIFETIME

The maximum life span of the product is 10 years from the date of manufacture. The life span greatly depends upon the

conditions of usage of the product. Fall arrest equipment / anchorage slings must be inspected once a year by a trained

and competent person. If in any doubts, please contact JSP Safety.
