Details for  WAHSA TGN02 Fall arrest blocks
PropertyValue
Name WAHSA TGN02 Fall arrest blocks
DescriptionThis information sheet gives guidance on the use of retractable type fall arresters for work at height.
These products are commonly known as fall arrest blocks.  Several safety issues have been raised with respect to these products, when used as follows:
 
- in the horizontal plane
- at their maximum extension
- where the lifeline may pass over an edge during arrest
- when connected via an energy absorbing lanyard to the harness  
- when the users weight exceeds 100Kg
 
Although this leaflet cannot give definitive guidance on all aspects of the problems indicated above, it is hoped to clarify some misconception and to highlight safety critical aspects when possible.
