Slings
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)
Note
7.
Connector (carabiner) with mandatory automatic closing and locking system
8.
Evacuation/rescue devices: a. one emergency descent and one rescue device, or, b. different rescue devices
9. Rope clamp for rescue (enabling lifting/safe disconnection of a loaded rope type fall protection lanyard) 10. Vertical aluminium ladders 11. Anchor points
The height of the anchor point 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 while preventing the person who is falling from coming into contact with the ground or structure below the anchor point
Note
The GWO recommends an anchor point height of 6.75m for the evacuation exercises. The recommended height is based upon the following formula, 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 = 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿 + 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 + 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 + 𝐶𝐶 , Where:
RD
=
required fall distance clearance (minimum anchor point height)
LL
=
length of lanyard
DD
=
deceleration distance (fall distance)
HH
=
height of suspended worker
C
=
safety factor
