Anchorage Requirements
All anchorages to which the Personal Energy Absorbers and Energy Absorbing Lanyards attach must meet the requirements of
EN795:1997
Anchorages to which personal fall arrest equipment is attached shall be capable of supporting at least 22 KN per employee attached, or
shall be designed, installed, and used as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of a t least two,
under the supervision of a qualified person.
When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to the anchorage, the strength must be multiplied by the number of
personal fall arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
Anchorages should be located as vertically as possible above the user’s head and be positioned as not to exceed the maximum
allowable free fall for the system.
Anchorage Connectors
Anchorage connectors are components that couple the personal fall arrest system to the anchorage. In accordance with EN795:1997,
the anchorage connector must be capable of withstanding (without breaking) a 22 KN load and the anchorage must be able to
withstand a 16 KN load without cracking or permanent deformation visible to the unaided eye. The strength of all anchorage
connectors must be multiplied by the maximum number of personal fall arrest systems attached. A mobile anchorage connector should
be used to provide lateral mobility and help prevent the possibility of a swing fall. This Shock Absorbing Lanyard have a minimum
breaking strength of 22kN when used as directed in the User Instruction Manuals.
2
Snap Hooks and Carabiners
Snap hooks and karabiners used on This Shock Absorbing Lanyard marked with the EN362 standard are self-closing with minimal tensile
break strength of 22KN,a minimum gate rating of 1KN, and a minimum side load gate rating of 1.5KN.
Basic Rules Of Using The Snap Hook:
• Before each use, a close visual examination of the snap hook components (body, gate, locking gear) must be carried out in respect of mechanical, chemical and
thermal defects. The examination must be done by a person who is going to use the snap hook. In the case of any defect or doubt of incorrect condition of the
snap hook do not use the snap hook.
• Using the snap hook, in connection with the fall arrest system, must be compatible with manual instructions of the fall arrest systems and obligatory
standards:
- EN361 - for the safety harness.
- EN353-1, EN353-2, EN355, EN354, EN360 - for the fall arrest systems.
- EN341 - for the rescue equipment.
- EN358 - for the work positioning system.
• The snap hooks with manual locking (e.g. screw locking) shall be acceptable only in cases where the user does not have to attach and remove the snap hook
many times a working day.
• During use the snap hook must be protected from any contact with acids, solvents, basics, open fire, hot metal drops and sharp edges. If you have any doubts
about the conditions where the snap hook will be used, ask the producer.
• Before using the fall arrest system, the rescue operation must be introduced to avoid any danger that can happen during the use of the equipment.
• The shape of the structural anchor point should not let self-acting snap hook disconnection. See drawings.
• It is necessary to protect the snap hook gate with locking gear. - See drawing.
• The length of the snap hook should be taken into account when used in any fall arrest system as it will affect the length of a fall.
• It must be taken into consideration that some situations during use may reduce the strength of the snap hook, e.g. connecting to wide straps.

Fall Clearance/Clear Fall Charts
Clearance Requirements
These illustrations are an example of how to calculate fall clearance when using a self-retracting lanyard or a shock-absorbing lanyard.
Image 1 shows a self-retracting lanyard anchored overhead with the other end connected to the dorsal D-ring of a full body harness.
When positioning a self-retracting lanyard, include the following distances in your calculations:
Using the Self-Retracting Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of approximately 2.0 m as measured from the working level to the
nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance combines the sum of the maximum allowable fall arrest distance of 1m and the
safety factor of 1 m.
Image 2 shows a shock-absorbing lanyard anchored overhead with the other end connected to the dorsal D-ring of a full body harness.
Note that the length of your shock-absorbing lanyard in relation to where it is attached is directly related to the amount of fall
clearance that you will need. When using a shock-absorbing lanyard, include the following distances in your calculations:
Using the Shock-Absorbing Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of approximately 6 m as measured from the anchorage point of
lanyard to the nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance combines the sum of the length of the lanyard, the maximum
elongation of the lanyard, the average distance between the worker’s dorsal D-ring, and the safety factor .

Swing fall
To minimize the possibility of a swing fall, work as directly under the anchorage connector as possible. Striking objects horizontally, due
to the pendulum effect, may cause serious injury. Swing falls also increase the vertical fall distance of a worker, compared to a fall
directly below the anchorage connector. Swing falls may be reduced by using overhead anchorage connectors that move with the
worker.
Operation
Before Each Use
Users of personal fall arrest systems must have a rescue plan in place if the users cannot rescue themselves or carry out the rescue.
■ Absorbing Lanyards must be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration.
■ All snap hooks and karabiners on product must be able to close and lock.
■ All webbing and rope must be inspected for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, discoloration, or other signs of wear and damage.
Sewn terminations must be secure, complete, and not visibly damaged. All rope splices must be secure.
■ Cable must be inspected for kinks, broken strands, corrosion, abrasion, or other signs of wear and damage.
■ Swaged terminations must be secure with the thimble tight and not visibly damaged.
■ Load indicators must not be deployed.
■ Damaged and other deteriorated or defective components must be immediately removed from service

Connecting Shock Absorbing Lanyards That Have a Shock-Pack
Absorbing Lanyards with a shock-pack must be connected in a specific location. The shock absorbing end of the lanyard must connect to
the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness. The opposite end of the lanyard is to be connected to the anchorage connector.
Connecting Y-Lanyards
Y-Lanyards are designed for single person use only. The shock absorbing end of the lanyard must be connected to the dorsal D-ring of
the full body harness. Attach one leg of the Y-Lanyard to the anchorage connector and the unused lanyard leg to an approved lanyard
storage keeper on the harness.
Compatibility of components and subsystems
This equipment is designed for use with EN approved components and subsystems. Substitutions or replacements made with
non-approved components or subsystems may be incompatible, and may jeopardize the safety and reliability of the complete system.
Compatibility of connectors
Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way
that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Contact
The manufacturer if you have any questions about compatibility.
Connectors (hooks, karabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 22 KN.
Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other system components. Do not use equipment
that is not compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage.
During the use of Y-Lanyards to move between fall protections systems, attach the unused leg of the lanyard to the new location before
disconnecting the first lanyard leg. Connection of both lanyard legs to separate anchorage connectors while transitioning between
systems is acceptable.
Connecting Personal Shock Absorbers
Personal shock absorbers should be connected to the dorsal D-ring of the full body harness first and then connected to the rest of the
fall arrest system.
6
Training
Employers are responsible for providing training to any employee who may be exposed to fall hazards. Training will enable an employee
to recognize and reduce fall hazards. Training must be conducted by a Competent or Qualified Person. Trainer and trainees must not be
exposed to fall hazards during the training course.
