Any equipment used during this GWO training module shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the national standards listed in Annex 1, table A1-1 When working in a country where there is no applicable national standard then the equipment shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the European standards.
Note
The following equipment is required by the course participants :
1.
full body harness
2.

3.
fixed length fall arrest lanyard(s) with an energy absorber
4.

*The European standard for slings specifies safety requirements and test methods for slings used for mountaineering (slings are used as anchor points and since there are no industrial standard for slings, they must also comply with the requirements in EN795 type B, anchor devices) **The height of the anchor points shall ensure that in the event of a fall there will be enough space below the anchor point to allow the shock absorber in a fixed length fall arrest lanyard to fully deploy whilst preventing the person who is falling from coming into contact with the ground or structure below the anchor point.
Note
Note
1. the GWO recommends an anchor point height of 6.75 m for the evacuation exercises.
2.
the recommended height is based upon the following formula, 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 = 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿 + 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 + 𝐶𝐶 ,
