Fall arrest

If the planned method of work is such that should the user lose controlled physical contact with the working surface there will be a free fall, it will be necessary to choose fall arrest equipment.

This will include:

  • A full-body harness that meets the requirements of EN 361.
  • An energy absorber conforming to EN 355.
  • A double lanyard system to allow forward progression without disconnecting from the structure. The lanyards should conform to EN 354.
