Personal fall protection equipment (PPE) is usually indispensable when working at height. If, for example, there is no collective protection in place or it is being installed, workers must protect themselves in some other way. Even a fall from a low height can have serious consequences, which is why fall protection is so important. In our range, you will find everything from anchor devices and safety harnesses, to shock absorbers and fall arresters, through to anchor devices with movable or fixed guides.
The use of personal protective equipment against falls from a height is not only recommended in areas where there is a risk of falling, it is also stipulated by law. There are also several DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) regulations that must be observed. DGUV Rule 112-198, for example, specifies the use of personal protective equipment against falls from a height. The people who ultimately use the equipment must receive instruction beforehand and carry out practical exercises in advance. This allows employees to check their equipment before using it at the respective location, for example the work platform.
The basis is initially a fall protection system in the form of an anchorage device. Only when such a system is in place on the work platform does the PPE come into play. Personal fall protection equipment basically consists of a safety harness, a lanyard and a hard hat.
The harness should be of a suitable size and tested and certified in accordance with EN 361. The lanyard is used to connect the harness to the anchor point. Most lanyards have an integrated energy absorber and are tested in accordance with DIN EN 354 and 355. Nowadays, the majority of energy absorbers are only tape energy absorbers. Tearing open the seams of the integrated strap reduces the forces of a free fall. This cushions the fall and limits the forces acting on the user to a maximum of 6 kN. Perfect for working at height!
DIN EN 358 applies to harnesses and lanyards for the purpose of workplace positioning . It specifies requirements, test methods and corresponding markings.
Fall arresters are extendable lanyards. They have an automatic blocking function as well as an automatic tensioning and retraction device. The retractable type fall arresters in our range are manufactured and tested in accordance with the requirements set out in EN 360.
Personal protective equipment should be a top priority for workplaces at height. As absolute specialists in the field of fall protection, we offer a large selection of PPE with CE marking and will be happy to advise you personally. So you are safe when working at any height!
We have the following PPE-related products in our range:
Yes, first of all, the users themselves are obliged to check their own fall protection before each use. Users must be appropriately instructed in the use of PPE. In addition, the PPE must be inspected annually by a competent person. The principles for the qualification of a competent person to inspect PPE are set out in DGUV Principle 312-906.
The PPE Usage Ordinance regulates the provision of PPE against falls from a height by the employer. It also contains regulations on the use of PPE by employees.
The requirements and use of fall protection are regulated not just in a single DIN or EN standard, but in several different standards. In addition, TRBS 2121 sets out the technical rules for safety in companies.
It is not possible to make a general statement about the height above which PPE is mandatory and in which scenarios. The risk of falling must be determined individually, and there are also special guidelines for this. In general, it can be summarized that measures for the protection of persons must be taken from a fall height of 0 m for surfaces in which there is a risk of sinking. For roof work, appropriate measures must be taken from a height of 2 m, and for maintenance work from a height of 1 m, in order to prevent people from falling. If higher-level measures in accordance with the STOP principle, such as substitution, technical and organizational measures, are not possible, the risk of falling must be counteracted by means of personal fall protection equipment and suitable anchorage devices.
