Product Description
ENERGY ABSORBER
An energy absorber in a safety harness is a crucial component of a fall arrest system. During a fall, the energy absorber deploys
typically through tearing seams or controlled webbing unravelling. This absorbs the impact force, signicantly reducing the jolt on the
worker’s body and preventing serious injuries. Regulations mandate that the maximum arresting force on a worker during a fall should
not exceed 6kN (kilonewtons). The energy absorber ensures this limit is met.
Applications:
Energy absorbers are exclusively used in fall arrest lanyards. These lanyards connect your safety harness to a secure anchor point and are vital when working at heights where a fall is a possibility.
Here are some common applications:
● Construction
● Telecommunications (tower climbing)
● Wind turbine maintenance
● Window cleaning
● Fall arrest teams
Knowledge Required for Use:
● Understanding the proper use of fall arrest systems, including anchor point selection, lanyard connection, & fall clearance requirements is crucial.
● Familiarity with relevant safety regulations regarding fall protection equipment and weight capacities is essential.
● Knowing how to inspect your fall arrest lanyard for signs of damage and when to replace it is vital for safety.
● Weight Limits:Energy absorbers are designed and certied for specic weight capacities.Ranging from 50 kg (110lbs) to 190 kg (420 lbs)
● Never use a fall arrest lanyard with a deployed energy absorber. It’s no longer functional and should be replaced.
● Different types of energy absorbers exist (tearing web or internal pack),but their core function remains the same-mitigating fall impact forces.
● Regular training on fall protection systems and safe work practices at heights is highly recommended.
● Special White Inner Webbing made of polyamide
● Clear Protective Covering: This transparent cover allows for easy and quick visual inspection of the energy absorber, ensuring its functionality and identifying any potential damage before use.
● These lanyards are used when there is a fall hazard and they are connected to the sternal or dorsal attachment point on the harness
● Made from 44 mm wide webbing and shrink wrapped for protection, this energy absorber provides long lasting performance.
● It is tested and certified, complied to EN 355:2002 , ISI (PART2) : 2021, and ANSI standards, ensuring it effectively reduces the impact of a fall to less than 6 KN (TESTED FROM SATRA, ISI, AND ANSI) in dynamic test, minimizing the risk of injury to the user.
When using this energy absorber with a 2.0 meter lanyard, you need to maintain a minimum fall clearance distance of 6.0 meters to ensure safety in case of a fall.
