PRODUCT APPLICATION
The SP140 fall arrest lanyard range is designed to be used as part of a personal fall arrest
system, typically used to connect between a User safety harness (EN361) to
a fi xed anchor (EN795). The energy absorber ensures that the deceleration force exerted
on the user during a fall arrest event is less than 6kN. The product must not be overloaded
or used outside its fi eld of application; personal protection for work at height in accordance
with 89/686/CEE PPE directive. All Users must be trained in work at height activities to a level
of competency or must work under direct visual control of a competent person prior to use of
the product. Use of the product is at the Users own risk and the User assumes responsible for
any damages, injuries or death resulting from incorrect use of the product in any manner
whatsoever. If there is any doubt about the correct use and application of this product do not
use it and seek advice from a competent person or from SpanSet UK Ltd.
PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY
Always ensure, via specifi c training or advice from a competent person, that the intended
application of PPE is compatible with the products used. It cannot be assumed that all
combinations of PPE will interact in a safe manner. Pay particular attention to verify connectors
are positioned and closed in such a manner that any loading of the safety system does not
incorrectly load the connector or has the potential to operate the connector gate mechanism
accidentally. Always ensure the connectors are orientated to load in the primary axis. All PPE
connected into a safety system must conform to the appropriate EN standards.
PRODUCT USERS
All Users of this product must be in a fi t medical condition to undertake work at height activities.
Prolonged suspension in a harness following a fall arrest event can result in serious medical
conditions or death; therefore ensure there is adequate provision for rescue and that all
relevant rescue equipment and personnel are available to carry out emergency actions.
Personnel MUST be trained and familiar with the relevant rescue equipment.
