USE OF THE LINE WITH 2 PERSONS
The HSL has also been tested and approved
for two-person use. This was achieved by
loading the centre of the line with 26kN
(2650kg). To ensure the safety of two users
on the HSL, the minimum clearance values
given below must be adhered to at all times.

SpanSet recommends that all PPE equipment
is personal issue, all documentation relating
to it is kept on file until the item is withdrawn
from service.
PRODUCT LIFE
Whilst regular inspection and care of your
equipment is mandatory by European law,
SpanSet recommends that with regular use
all products should be destroyed after 5 years
from date of first use. The product has an
ultimate life span of 10 years from date of
manufacture, even if never used. The product
instruction sheet must be understood for
each component of your system to ensure
their compatibility.
An EN 795:1997 class C device is described
as an anchor employing a horizontal flexible
anchor line. It has been subjected to dynamic
tests using a non shock absorbing lanyard
and a 100kg mass in a 4m fall. The SpanSet
line has also been tested with a static load of
36kN without failure.
The following instructions are based upon use
by one person. SpanSet recommend this as
the preferred usage for the horizontal safety
line. It is possible however for the HSL to be
used by two persons, and in this case you
must refer to the specific notes opposite.
When using the HSL as part of a fall arrest
system, a full-body harness complying
withEN 361 and fall arrest lanyard complying
to EN 355 must be used. Other fall arrest
and restraint systems may be used only with
GBR
