5 General explanation of the required free space below an eventual crash site
It is essential for safety reasons to choose the position of the anchor device (anchor point) in a way that the fall distance is limited to
a minimum. Only full body harness according to EN361 may be used with a fall arrest system. Maximum total lanyard length 2.0m
including fittings, karabiners and tape fall absorbers.
The required free space below a crash site has to be calculated before starting work.
Attention:
A slack lanyard also increases the fall height. The lower the chosen anchor point the more free space must
be calculated below a crash site.
5.1 Example 1 - figure 5.1-F1:
Functional requirements: Anchor device / anchor point above the head. Fall distance 2m. Lanyard as short as possible -
tensioned / vertically upwards. The required free space must be measured from the standing site level to the closest possible
impact level (e.g.: floor, machine parts, platform, etc. ...).
Lanyard (2)
Length changes of the tape fall absorber (4)
Displacement of the full body harness on the body (5)

Required free space below the crash site
5.2 Example 2 - figure 5.2-F2:
Functional requirements: Anchor device / anchor point in the chest area. Fall distance 5m. Lanyard as short as possible - total
maximum length 2 m. The required free space must be measured from the standing site level to the closest possible impact level
(e.g.: floor, machine parts, platform, etc. ...).

5.3 Example 3 - figure 5.3-F3:
Functional requirements: Anchor device / anchor point in the standing site level area. Fall distance 7m. Lanyard as short as
possible - total maximum length 2 m. The required free space must be measured from the standing site level to the closest possible
impact level (e.g.: floor, machine parts, platform, etc. ...).

according to EN813. Only fall arrester eyelets marked with an "A" may be used for this purpose.
•
in fall arrest systems according to EN363 only with a shock absorber according to EN355. Only fall arrester eyelets
marked with an "A" may be used for this purpose.
•
in rescue systems according to EN363 with rescue lifting devices. Only fall arrester eyelets marked with an "A" may be
used for this purpose.
A sit harness according to EN813 is not suitable for fall arrest purposes in fall
arrest systems according to EN363. A sit harness according to EN813 is only
suitable for fall arrest purposes if integrated into a full body harness according
to EN361.
The use of a full body safety harness in a fall arrest system is only allowed with
a shock absorber according to EN355, or a retractable type fall arrester

Work positioning belts may not be used in a fall arrest system!
A restraint system is not intended to catch falls!
According to BMASK-461.309/0006-VII/A/2/2011 depending on the duration of the work, additional seating boards and working
seats must be used:
➢
Up to a working time (between two breaks or changes of activity) of maximum 30 minutes, a suitable harness with an
integrated sit harness according to EN813 is adequate.
