Energy absorbers are used as separate pieces of
equipment or as components that come integrated
into a lanyard or are combined with such.
Together with lanyards to EN 354, connectors to EN
362, anchor points to EN 795, and full body harnes-
ses to EN 361, energy absorbers form a fall arrest
system to EN 363.
Maximum nominal load: 50 - 140 kg
(= maximum weight of user incl. tools and gear)
How to select an anchor point:
According to EN 795, the anchor point (anchor de-
vice) for personal protective equipment against falls
from a height must be able to withstand a force of 12
kN and meet the requirements specified in the user's
guide of the fall protection system used. The anchor
point should always be located above the user.
The connection between the harness and anchor
point must be suitable for the standard covering the
respective type of use and must have been certified
to it.
� Fall arrest system (e.g., energy absorber to
EN 355, guided type fall arresters to EN 353-
1/2, retractable type fall arresters to EN 360)
� Restraint system (e.g., lanyards to EN 354 or
EN 358)
� Work positioning system (e.g., lanyards to
EN 354 or EN 358)
Rope access system (e.g., rope adjustment
�
device to EN 12841, rope to EN 1891)
It is crucial to safety to select the position of the
anchor point and the way how the work is done
such that the free fall and the height of a fall are
restricted to a minimum. It is crucial to safety to
ensure prior to any work assignment that there is
enough free space at the work site under the user
(prevention of an impact on the ground or on an
obstacle).
