Product Applications; Applicable Safety Standards - CRESTO W2H Instrucciones De Uso

PRODUCT SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
May be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 in a
Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for use in Fall
Arrest applications and will reduce fall arrest forces
to no greater than 6kN. No free fall is permitted.
D-ring: Dorsal (rear), Sternal (chest)
ƒ Leading Edge (LE)
May be used to support a PFAS for horizontal use
where contact with a leading edge is possible, with
limitations. Leading edge radius must be greater than
0.5mm and be without burrs.
See Installation and Use on page 9 and Horizontal Use
Statement below.

APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS

Meets or exceeds:
ƒ EN360:2002
ƒ RfU CNB/P/11.060
HORIZONTAL USE STATEMENT
The devices have been tested for horizontal use in
accordance with CNB/P/11.060 however loading over an
edge shall be avoided. The retractable type fall arrester was
tested also for horizontal use and a drop over a Type A edge
successfully. Type A edge definition: A steel edge with a
radius of r = 0,5 mm and without burrs was used for the test.
Due to this test, the equipment may be used over similar
edges (within the limitations defined in this manual), as can
be found e.g. at rolled steel profiles, at wooden beams or
at a clad, rounded roof parapet. This device has not been
assessed for suitability on any other edge.
FOR ALL PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
ƒ Maximum user weight (including all clothing, tools, and
equipment) is:
W2H & W2TH
Overhead Use (NON-LE): 140kg
Leading Edge (LE) Use: 100kg
C10H, C15H
Overhead Use (NON-LE): 150kg
Leading Edge (LE) Use: 150kg
ƒ Anchorage point in PFAS must be rated to
withstand minimum 12kN load and be
EN 795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000 approved.
The job site Competent Person (CP) must ensure that there
are sufficiently strong and accessible anchorage points in
the working environment. Anchorages should be overhead
when possible and the area beneath and around them
should be clear of obstruction and sharp edges. Always
attach to an anchorage that is as close to the point of work
and as high above head as possible without restricting free
movement. The user should be aware at all times of which
attachment points to use; if not immediate obvious they
must seek confirmation from the CP. Always ensure that
the means of attachment to the anchorage is secure before
beginning work.
COMPETENT PERSON DEFINITION
The job site safety supervisor, referred to in this manual as
the Competent Person (CP), must be a highly trained and
experienced person who is assigned by the employer to
be responsible for all elements of the fall safety program;
this includes, but is not limited to, program regulation,
management, and application. The CP must be proficient
in identifying existing and predictable fall hazards, and
must have the authority to stop work to eliminate hazards
or otherwise promote safe and compliant work practices.
