Fall Protection Equipment Tests

Anti-Fall, Dynamic Performance (EN 353-1)

The EN 353-1 standard, which is a European standard, describes the features and test methods of guided type fall arresters with anchor lines used against falling from height. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 353-1 Personal protective equipment against falling - Guided type fall arresters with anchor line - Part 1: Guided type fall arresters with rigid anchor line.

Anti-Fall, Dynamic Performance (EN 353-1)

Fall protection is required when workers are at risk of falling at work (usually working at heights of more than five meters). Typically, guardrails and barriers are used to protect workers. However, when guardrails are impractical or when working on scaffold suspended from two points, it is necessary to use personal fall protection systems, eg seat belts, life guards and lanyards. In some cases, positioning device systems such as anchor lines or aerial lifts are used to provide fall protection.

Personal fall protection systems should prevent an employee from falling or preventing injuries. The trauma that occurs in workers falling from high working levels is minimized by the use of properly selected personal fall protection equipment.

Potential hazards arise from failure to use or misuse of fall protection equipment. In general, four categories of fall protection are recognized in practice: fall prevention, fall prevention, fall arrest and administrative controls. It has been estimated that up to 10 percent of fatal injuries were due to falls.

Personal protective equipment is part of the fall arrest system. The personal fall protection system is the system that prevents the employee from colliding with the floor, structure or any obstacle during the fall and limits the impact force on the user's body during the fall arrest.

Our organization also provides fall protection, dynamic performance (EN 353-1) testing services to enterprises within the framework of fall protection equipment testing services.
