Function and description
The FABA™ climbing protection system
complies with standard EN 353-1. It will
be supplied as either a complete climbing
protection ladder (climbing protection
rails with rungs) or as a climbing protec-
tion rail for fi tting to existing ladders or
other manhole steps. The fall prevention
device is an integral part of the climbing
protection system and together with
the climbing protection rails it forms
a package of fall arrest systems that
safeguard against falling. Each FABA™
fall prevention device has undergone, in
conjunction with suitable guide rails, EU
proto type testing at a registered certifi ca-
tion offi ce.
The FABA™ fall prevention device runs
in the climbing protection rail profi le
and it accompanies the user, without any
manual intervention being necessary,
when going up or down and locks in place
automatically in the rail in the event of a
fall. In this case the locking mechanism
on the fall prevention device locks into
one of the notches in the rail profi le and
this prevents the fall prevention device
from moving downwards and this action
saves the user from falling.
Fall arrest system
The FABA™ climbing protection sy-
stem is an integral part of the fall arrest
system that complies with EN 363 and
has to be assembled from the following
components:
1. Anchor point (FABA™ climbing pro-
tection rail, EN 353-1)
2. FABA™ fall prevention device
(EN 353-1)
3. Connector (EN 362)
4. Harness (EN 361)
