What it is
Fall arrest block Portwest FP40. Key specifications: regulations EN 362:2004 | EN 360:2002, pieces per box 12, colour Orange.
A self-retracting fall arrest device is a reel with a cable or webbing lanyard that follows the worker's movements and locks immediately if the line is jerked by a fall.
What it is for
Used for work at height, where access and restraint must be ensured for the whole job and for fall protection, as part of a fall arrest or work restraint system.
How to use it
Attach it to a certified anchor point, preferably above the work area, and connect it to the fall arrest attachment point of the harness with the connector. Before each use, check that it locks with a sharp pull and inspect the line and the fall indicator. Avoid sharp edges and wide lateral swing; after a fall or at the service due date, send the device for inspection.
