BORNACK and may not impair the
function and safety of the protective
equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable
for the task at hand and the weather
conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy.
• Health impairments can jeopardise
the safety of the user when working at
heights or depths.
• If this PPE is used as an arrester system
(free fall is possible), only full body
harnesses that comply with EN 361
may be used.
• Calculation of the possible fall path, if
all necessary PPE components are used
correctly: surplus lanyard (situation-
dependent) + braking path energy
absorber (max. 1.75 m) + height of
D-ring (1.5 m) + safety reserve 1.0 m.
• A lanyard may not be used for arres-
ting purposes without an energy
absorbing element e.g. an energy
absorber.
