• If the risk assessment carried out before the start of the work shows that the edge is very "cutting" and / or "free of
burrs" (such as in case of an unclad roof parapet, a rusty steel girder or a concrete edge), relevant measures shall be
taken before the start of the work to prevent a drop over the edge or, before the start of work, an edge protection shall
be mounted or the manufacturer shall be contacted.
• The anchor point should only be situated at the same height as the edge at which a fall might occur or above the edge.
• Allow adequate clearance of minimum 4.5 meters below, in order to avoid collision with the adjacent structures or the
ground in the event of a fall.
• To attenuate a drop ending in a pendulum movement, the working area or lateral movements to both sides of the
centre axis shall be limited to a maximum of 1.50m. In other cases, no individual anchor points, but, e.g., type C or
type D anchor devices in accordance with EN 795 shall be used.
• The Self Retracting Lifeline can also be used with Type C anchor device.
• The deflection of the anchor device shall be taken into account when determining the clearance required below the feet
of the user. To that effect, the indications specified in the instructions for use of the anchor device shall be considered.
• Care must be taken to avoid collision with any obstruction in the event of a fall.
• It is advised that, for the event of a fall over the edge, special pre-planned rescue measures must be taken under the
guidance of a well-trained and competent personnel.
• For the Self retractable lifelines with a shock absorber, the length of the shock absorber deployed is 115 cm.
