The lanyard length 1,8m. ROOF LANYARD Date of manufacture: mm/yyyy AZ 800 Serial number: 0000000 EN 354:2010 The attachment loop of the roof lanyard (indicated on fig.1) should be connected to the carabineer placed on a EN360 retractable fall arrester lanyard. The attachment element of the AZ800 must be attached to “A” buckles of safety harness with the aid of connector compliant with EN 362. The EN360 retractable type fall arrester must be anchored to structure of building at least 3 m from the edge along which the user operates (distance “x” - see. fig. 2, fig. 3). The anchor point may be situated at the same height as the edge at witch a fall might occur or above this level. The user is permitted to move laterally through distance “y” not greater than “x” (see fig. 2). The clearance distance (distance “h” - see fig.3) between roof level and ground level must be greater than 3 m + 1/2 lateral distance “y” but not less than 3 m. To minimise fall distance and pendulum movement the “x” and the “y” distances should be minimized, respecting the minimum distance “x”=3m. In determining the space under the workplace required to arrest the fall, consider the length of AZ800 roof lanyard as an additional element that extends the distance for arresting a fall.
