A personal fall arrest device consists of many parts. These include the Connectors and Anchor point as well as the body harness and fall arrest system. To ensure safety, the components of a personal fall arrest device work together. These components must be designed to prevent injuries from occurring in the case of a fall.
Connectors
Connectors are flexible pieces of equipment that can adjust to a personal falls arrest system. They can be connected either to a safety belt or an anchorage system. The connectors can be extended in length. The maximum length of connectors is 2 m.
Workers who work in high places need connectors. Connectors are used to link the worker's fullbody harness to an anchorage point. Some connectors are self retracting lifelines or shock-absorbing lanyards. Others are simple, lanyards. The type of connector used depends on the requirements of the worker.
Body harness
A personal fall arrest system includes a body harness. A body harness must be securely fastened at the waist. The body harness should also not be worn or damaged. There may be a D-ring at the back of the harness for fall arrest. It could also have several other locations for positioning and restraint. A connecting device such as a belt or lanyard should be included in the harness to ensure a secure connection between your body harness and the anchor point.
A personal fall arrest system consists of a body-hash and an anchorage. The anchorage points connect the worker's safety harness with a supporting structure. The anchorage must be strong enough to break down to at least 5,000lbs. A personal fall arrest system's connecting means include a lanyard and self-retracting lifeline.
Shock-absorbing lanyard
Shock-absorbing leashes are an essential part of any personal fall arrest system. They are made of webbing and are designed for minimizing impact forces. The lanyards can be attached to an anchorage or horizontal lifeline. In general, a shock-absorbing lanyard should be chosen for any worker who has a risk of falling more than one story.
A PFAS is made up of many components. The shock-absorbing nylon lanyard is one of the components. This lanyard decreases fall-arresting pressures by 60 to 80%. Other parts of this system include the harness as well as connecting devices. You can make the connection devices from energy-absorbing lanyards or self-retracting lifelines. Rope grabs and retrieval systems are all options.
