ENERGY AND NETWORKS
In these fields,
work situations are
characterized by moving
about on structures such
as towers, antennas,
windmills... These
situations are also typical
of setting up or taking
down structures for
events.
The techniques used for
moving around depend
directly on the specifics
of each structure and the
presence/absence of
collective protection. In its
a bsence, team members
must ensure their own
safety with PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment).
To protect himself in case
of a fall, each worker must
use a fall arrest system
(for example: self-belay
on the structure with an
energy-absorbing lanyard
or on a lifeline with a
mobile fall arrester).
If necessary, a positioning
system is used to enable
hands-free work. If the
structure does have
collective protection,
a work positioning system
(adjustable lanyard) may
be sufficient.
ASAP

With its unique locking system, the ASAP mobile fall arrester
is a reference product in fall protection for workers at height.
It moves freely along the rope without any manual intervention
and accompanies the user in all his movements. In case of shock
or sudden acceleration, the ASAP mobile fall arrester locks on the
rope and stops the user.
