Incorrect use, mechanical deformation, equipment accidentally dropped from a height, wear,
chemical contamination, exposure to heat above normal climatic conditions (max 100°C for purely
metallic articles and max. 50°C for articles with parts in fabric), are just some examples of other
reasons possibly reducing, limiting and even terminating the service life of the article.

• whenever possible the anchorage point is above the user,
• use a full body harness,
• organise the work with the purpose of reducing to a minimum any potential fall and its
heights.
2.7
- The anchorage position is essential for safely blocking a fall: carefully judge the height of the
fall, length of cord and "pendulum" effect to avoid all possible obstacles (e.g. ground, articles
scraping against the rocks, etc.).
