1. The IKAR Fall Arrest Block HRA with recovery mechanism in accordance with EN
360:2002 / 1496:2007 B,
2012 is an automatic fall arrest system, part of a fall protection PPE with integrated
fall restraint functions to serve as a fall arrest and recovery lifting device. In
conjunction with a safety harness (EN 361:2002 / 1497:2007,
ANSI/ASSE
Z359.1-2007), the HRA device provides safety for persons carrying out
work with a risk of falling (e.g. when moving in containers, vertical shafts, sewer
systems). With the recovery mechanism, the lifeline is wound up to lift the casualty in
an emergency. Descent of the person is limited to a path of 2 m (Fig. 1). The HRA
device may only be used for the intended purpose.
2.
The instructions for use are to be fully read and understood before use. Non-
observance of the instructions for use will put lives at risk (Fig. 2). In case of fall,
prolonged suspension of a person for more than 20 minutes must be avoided (risk of
shock).
3. The recovery mechanism has only been approved for recovery purposes, not for
lifting and lowering loads.
4. Only safety harnesses in accordance with EN 361, EN 361/1497,
ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007
mechanism (other harnesses are not permitted) (Fig. 3).
5. One device can only protect one person at a time, but can be used successively by
several persons.
6. A rescue plan covering any rescue case that might occur during work must exist.
7. During the rescue operation, there must always be direct or indirect visual or
communicative contact with the person to be rescued.
8. For devices with a hand chain drive, a suitable attachment point of sufficient carrying
capacity must be chosen (e.g. anchorage point in accordance with EN 795; or 6 kN
carrying capacity (for North America 22,2 kN) at present constructions; BGR 198)
(Fig. 5). Attachment is made using a suitable connecting element in accordance with
EN 362 or sling rope, the rope being pulled through the handle of the fall arrest block
and closed with a secured connecting element in accordance with
Z259.12-01 / ANSI /ASSE Z359.12-2009
9. The HRA device should be in a perpendicular position above the head of the person
to be rescued in order to prevent swinging (Fig. 6). The suspension of the device must
allow for compensating deviations in rope/webbing length. When the device has
been attached to the anchorage point, attach the end of the connecting device
(karabiner type connector) to the ring attachment point of the safety harness. If the
karabiner hooks are not self-locking, they must be screwed tight with a sleeve nut.
10. The HRA fall arrest block with winding handle can only be used as part of a fall arrest
system in conjunction with the holders and support brackets of the IKAR anchor
devices in accordance with EN 795. The instructions for use of the anchor devices
and their components must be observed.
11. Before every use, check the readability of the product label.
12. A visual inspection and functional test of the HSA fall arrest block must be performed
before every use (Fig. 7). To do so, attach the fall arrest block to a suitable anchor
point: Pull the rope, the ratchets must lock audibly and the device must be locking.
Firmly hold the rope and allow it to retract into the fall arrest block in a controlled
manner. If the rope is released, it may cause injuries and damage by its quick and
uncontrolled retraction into the housing. Check the karabiner hook for proper
functioning (self-closing, lockable). Check the retractable connecting device for
proper condition. A HRA fall arrest block with a damaged connecting element or
device (Fig. 7a + 8), e.g. ropes with a kink or broken/torn strand, must not be used.
13. A fall arrest block must be withdrawn from use if damaged, loaded by fall or if its safe
condition is doubtful. It may only be used further if tested and released in writing by an
expert from or trained by the manufacturer.
