Product Specific Applications
May be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 in
a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for
use in Fall Arrest applications and will
reduce fall arrest forces to no greater than 6kN.
No free fall is permitted.
D-ring:
Dorsal (rear), Sternal (chest)
For All Product Applications
Maximum user weight (including all
clothing, tools, and equipment) is:
FABX1, FABX2, FABXL:
FAB3W:
150kg
Anchorage point in PFAS must be rated
to withstand minimum 12kN load and be
EN 795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000 approved.
The job site Competent Person (CP) must
ensure that there are sufficiently strong and
accessible anchorage points in the working
environment. Anchorages should be overhead
when possible and the area beneath and
around them should be clear of obstruction and
sharp edges. Always attach to an anchorage
that is as close to the point of work and as high
above head as possible without restricting
free movement. The user should be aware
at all times of which attachment points to
use; if not immediate obvious they must seek
confirmation from the CP. Always ensure that
the means of attachment to the anchorage is
secure before beginning work.
Applicable Safety Standards
Meets or exceeds:
EN360:2002

Risk Statement
The device is designed to protect against
falls from height and reduce peak forces
generated during a fall below 6kN, when used in
accordance with this manual.
Competent Person Definition
The job site safety supervisor, referred to in this manual as
the Competent Person (CP), must be a highly trained and
experienced person who is assigned by the employer to
be responsible for all elements of the fall safety program;
this includes, but is not limited to, program regulation,
management, and application. The CP must be proficient
in identifying existing and predictable fall hazards, and
must have the authority to stop work to eliminate hazards or
otherwise promote safe and compliant work
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient
clearance below the work surface to arrest
a fall before the user strikes the ground or an
obstruction. When calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 1m safety factor,
deceleration distance, harness stretch, free fall,
swing fall, lifeline deflection (if applicable) and
all other applicable factors. CP must check all
components of PFAS to calculate fall clearance
required.
See Diagram A on page 20
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use,
eliminate or minimise all swing fall hazards.
Swing falls occur when the anchor is not
directly above the location where a fall occurs.
Always work as close to in line with the anchor
point as possible. Swing falls significantly
increase the likelihood of serious injury or
death in the event of a fall. Swing fall must be
included in fall clearance calculations.
