PROTEKT CR250V15 Retractable Steel Cable Fall Arresters 15M

Retractable type fall arrester CR 250V length 15 m with carabiners AZ 002ASI.

CR 250V self-locking device for vertical operation in a plastic
casing with a pull-down steel rope and a swivel mounted in
the casing. The device is designed for work requiring significant
displacement in relation to the point of attachment. No need
to use a shock absorber.

Retractable type and guided type fall arresters

Safety is one of the key factors when working at heights. An employee hanging on the rope or in the harness is exposed to the risk of falling from a dozen or more meters. In order to guarantee adequate protection and eliminate the risk of accidents resulting from carelessness or equipment failure, it’s recommended to use special retractable type and guided type fall arresters.

The self-locking mechanism reduces the impact force and automatically stops the fall when a worker slips or falls with a sudden tension. Housing is made of durable glassfibre and drum-wound lifeline is made of stainless steel. Work load is less than 130 kgs. Workers using fall arrester must work directly under the anchorage to prevent swing fall injuries.

• Worker training: Deploy only workers who have successfully completed the Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Perform Work at Height course to work on roofs. Train workers to always anchor their safety harnesses when working at height.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Equip roof workers with anti-slip safety footwear and fall-arrest or travel-restraint equipment along with secure anchor point(s) or lifeline.

Note that the use of a standard lanyard with a shock absorber cannot be used if the fall clearance distance is too short to safely stop one’s fall before striking the ground. If the fall clearance distance is too short, the use of an immediate arrest self-retracting line is recommended.

Prevent falls from open sides

Open sides without proper barricades and lack of safe access are common safety lapses leading to fall-from-height incidents, where workers have suffered serious injuries or even lost their lives.

In the upcoming months, the Ministry of Manpower will be conducting inspections targeting work-at-height infringements in the construction, marine, and transport and storage industries.

Protect your workers from falling over open sides by including the following measures adopted by many companies, into your fall prevention plan:

Conduct a toolbox briefing before starting work. Alert workers to onsite risks and remind them how they can work safely at heights. New workers are to complete work-at-height training and a site orientation before being deployed to work at height.
Close off all open sides. Install guardrails and/or barricades along the perimeter of open sides. The edge protection must be able to withstand a weight of 100kg applied in any direction. Refer to Figure 1 for the required dimensions for edge protection.

Figure 1: Required dimensions for edge protection.

Install a travel-restraint system. This restricts the movement of workers and keeps them at a safe distance from any open sides if edge protection is not feasible.
Equip workers with fall-arrest equipment. If a travel restraint system is not feasible, each worker must wear a full-body harness with connecting lanyards OR a self-retracting lifeline.
Secure anchor points. Identify and/or provide suitable anchor points for each worker to hook their lanyards on to while they work at height. Never deploy workers to work at height at sites where there are no suitable anchor points. Refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4 on the various types of secure anchor points.

Ensure 100% tie-off. Provide workers with a twin-tailed double lanyard (refer to Figure 5) and train workers how to use the double lanyard such that they are hooked to at least one anchor point or lifeline at any time.
