EN 361 : 2002 fall protection harness
- The use of this harness by a person
weighing less than or equal to 140Kg
is possible, if the associated prevention
systems meet the normative requirements
for stopping a fall with a weight of at least
140 kg (#7).
- The fall prevention system must be
connected to the dorsal dee-ring of the
harness. This point is identifi ed by the letter
A (single hanging (# 2)). If the situation of
use of PPE requires it, it can be associated
with an additional fall prevention system on
the dorsal fall prevention coupling dee-ring
of the KTP EVO.
- The use of the harness with a fall
prevention subsystem must be compatible
with the instructions for use of each
component of the system and with the
standards: EN353-1 / EN353-2 / EN
355 / EN360 / EN 362.
- These fall prevention harnesses are not
suitable for work in suspension (risk of
orthostatic shock).
EN 354 : 2010 restraint lanyard
- A lanyard, without energy absorber, must
not be used as a fall prevention system. It
is used as a fi xed or retaining work system.
- If the single lanyard is equipped with
an energy absorber, the system formed
is considered to be a fall prevention
system. In this case, refer to the following
paragraph "Energy absorber integrated
into an EN 355 lanyard". In particular, the
total length of the system including the
connectors, the energy absorber and the
lanyard must not exceed two meters.
Energy absorber integrated into an EN
355 : 2002 lanyard
- The energy absorber integrated into the
lanyard is connected to the dorsal point
of the KTP EVO harness. The other end
is connected to the anchor point or to
the structure by means of connectors
conforming to standard EN362.
- The total length of a subsystem with a
lanyard including an energy absorber,
manufactured ends and connectors must
not exceed two meters (#8-A)).
- Two lanyards fi tted with an energy
absorber (#8-B) should not be used side
by side.
- Also, for a model of energy absorber with
Y-lanyard, the unused end should not be
attached to the harness (#8-B).
- Be careful not to hook more than one
person on the lanyard built into an energy
absorber.
- Lanyards fi tted with an energy absorber
are not designed to form a slip knot (#8-B).
CONDITIONS GÉNÉRALES D'UTILISATION
- When mixing the fall prevention system
with other safety components, check the
compatibility of each of the components
and ensure the application of all the
recommendations of the product manuals
and applicable
the fall prevention system. In particular,
ensure that the security function of one
component is not affected by the security
function of another component and that
they do not interfere with each other.
- Before each use of a fall prevention
system, it is imperative to check the free
space (vertical clearance) required under
the user, so that in the event of a fall, there
is no collision with the ground nor with a
fi xed or moving obstacle in the path (#7).
- The vertical clearance (#7) is calculated
