3.) Vertical use
The anchorage point should always be as perpendicular as possible
to the person in order to minimise a pendulum fall. If the anchorage
point is sideways, there is a risk of hitting the side of the structure. To
minimise a pendulum fall, the working area or the lateral movement to
the centre axis must be limited to max. 1.5m (5.11). If this is not
possible or if larger lateral movements are required, do not use single
anchor points but e.g. anchor devices type C (the combination must
be tested together) or type D according to EN 795. The device and
the movable anchor point must be able to align themselves freely.
Before each use, ensure that the required ground clearance H
sufficient in each case to ensure the effectiveness of the system and to
avoid impact with the ground or other obstacles (Fig. 2):
Braking distance of the HSG Δl (max. 2.0 m)
+safety distance (1m)
+if necessary, additional height of 0.6 m (when working with a
lateral offset of max. 1.5 m)
+if necessary, deflection of the other system components (observe
the corresponding instructions for use of the manufacturer).

4.) Horizontal use (only HSG PRO 5/10/15)
The HSG PRO devices were developed for horizontal use
independent of the layer. To protect the marking and for better
legibility during use, it is recommended to place the device on the
horizontal surface with the marking facing upwards (Fig. 3). The edge
suitability was proven by drop tests over a grade-free edge made of
steel with a radius r = 0.5 mm. Based on these tests, the HSG PRO
devices are applicable in case of a fall over edge. If there is a risk of
falling over an edge, the following must be considered regardless of
these tests:
•
If the risk assessment carried out before starting work shows that
the edge is particularly „sharp" (r < 0.5mm) and/ or „not free
of burrs", it must be
•
a fall over this edge is prevented by technical or
organisational measures, or
•
an edge protector is fitted and used or
•
contact is made with the manufacturer.
•
The anchorage point must not be below the user's standing
surface, e.g. on a roof or platform.
•
The deflection at the edge must be at least 90°.
•
Slack rope must be avoided.
