Retractable fall arresters
Retractable fall arresters (HSG) are part of a fall arrest system
including an anchor point and a harness complying with EN 361
(see Fig. 2.1) and are used exclusively to protect persons who are
exposed to the danger of a fall during their work (e.g. on ladders,
roofs, scaffolding, etc.). During the ascent or descent, the user can
move around freely. The spring ensures that the rope/webbing is fed
independently into the device. In the event of a fall or a backwards
movement, the device locks. Fall arrester devices limit the energy
produced during a fall to such an extent that the body can withstand
this energy. A risk assessment must be carried out before every
use / any work involving the device.
A device damaged and/or stressed as a result of a fall (display on
the device shows red or fall indicator in the carabiner has tripped),
or if there are any doubts regarding the safety of the device, then
