ATEX rated fall arrest blocks, connectors and anchor components for fall protection in potentially explosive atmospheres. The range includes flame resistant lanyards and an ATEX harness from Kratos; for non-hazardous areas, see our full height safety range.
The fall protection principles do not change in an explosive atmosphere, but the hardware does. Connectors, blocks and anchor components are made from materials chosen so that dropping or striking them cannot generate an incendive spark, and the certification covers the item as supplied.
The zone classification decides what is acceptable. A block rated for one zone is not automatically suitable for another, and dust and gas hazards are treated separately.
A rated block on a standard karabiner is not a rated system. Assemble the whole chain from suitable components and keep the certification documents with the kit.
The requirement to plan for rescue is the same, but the rescue equipment must also be suitable for the zone and the plan should account for restricted access.
No. Every component entering the zone needs to be suitable, or the assembly is no longer protected.
We supply Kratos. Ranges vary, so check the brand page for the full listing.
