Fall Arrest Devices

Fall arrest blocks or self-retracting lifelines protect you from falling to the ground when working at height. They are ideal for reducing fall distance and therefore the chance of fall-related injuries.

These fall arrest devices are for single person use only.

Fall arrest devices are virtually unnoticeable on your back and can be easily used as a lanyard replacement. They use webbing or galvanised steelrope lifeline. Most self-retractable fall arrest devices have an energy absorbing element which reduces the impact force of the worker and the anchorage point to less than 3Kn in the event of a fall.

Our fall arrest blocks have a rotational attachment eye which prevents the webbing or cable from twisting.

Fall arrest blocks must not be used where a fall is gradual such as into a free flowing material (grain or sand) or on a sloping roof as the devices need a sudden jerk to activate the locking mechanism.
