Low temperatures and humidity can facilitate the formation of ice, make it difficult to make connections, reduce flexibility, as well as increasing the risk of breakage, cutting and abrasion.

1.7.2) The position of the anchor is fundamental for arresting a fall safely: carefully assess the clearance under the user, the height of a potential fall, the stretch of the line/rope, the deployment of an eventual energy absorber, the height of the user, and the “pendulum” effect, in order to avoid any possible obstacle (eg the ground, the rubbing,

page2image4285741616

abrasions, etc.).
1.7.3) The minimum strength of the anchor points shall be at least 12 kN, both made on natural and artificial elements. The evaluation of those made on natural elements (rock, plants, etc.) are only possible in an empirical way, so it shall be carried out by a trained and experienced person. For those made on elements artificial (metal, concrete, etc.), the evaluation can be carried out scientifically, therefore it shall be carried out by a trained and authorized person.

  • –  prepare a rescue plan to deal with any emergencies that could arise while using the device;
  • –  position the anchor device or the anchor point as high as possible;
  • –  minimize the height of potential falls;
  • –  use devices that are suitable for the purposeand certified.
