must be at least 90° (#6.1).
- The space available below the edge, over which the fall can occur, must correspond to the
horizontal clearance (#4).
- The fall arrester must always be used such that there is never any slack in the anchor line. The
free length of the anchor line can be adjusted only if the user is not moving in the direction of the
edge.
- For attenuating the pendulum effect related to a fall, the work space or authorised distance on
both sides of the axis that is perpendicular to the edge and passes through the fall arrester anchor
point shall be limited to 1,5 metres (#6-2). If this is not possible, do not use this individual anchor
point. Instead, use a safety line or a horizontal rail corresponding to Types C or D of the EN795
standard.
- If the fall arrester is combined with a type-C anchoring device with a flexible lifeline in accordance
with standard EN795, the space available under the edge in case of a fall should also take the
deflection of the lifeline into account. The instructions mentioned in the instructions for use of the
lifeline must be followed.
- After a fall over an edge, there is a risk of injury while rescuing the victim. Effectively, a suspended
user can impact against the structural elements or buildings.
- If there is a possibility of falling over an edge, special rescue measures must be implemented.
