• Entry-level specification — suitable for general construction and maintenance fall arrest applications

Suitable Applications

Suited to general construction site fall arrest, building maintenance, roofing access, scaffold work, and any task at height where a basic fall arrest system is required. Where the work involves scaffold tube attachment, the Scaffolders Kit (CMHYP03) with scaffold-hook lanyard may be a better choice. Where the work involves rescue or confined space access, the Crane Maintenance Kit (CMHYP05) should be specified.

How to Use the Basic Fall Arrest Kit

1. Open the storage bag and inspect every component visually before use.
2. Plan the fall clearance below the anchor — typically minimum 5.75 m for a 2 m lanyard.
3. Fit the harness, adjusting all straps for a snug, secure fit.
4. Verify the anchor point is certified to a minimum of 12 kN.
5. Connect the fall arrest lanyard between the harness rear D-ring and the anchor.
6. Verify both connector gates are fully closed and locked.
7. Proceed with the working task — keep the lanyard taut where possible.
8. On completion, inspect components and repack into the storage bag.

Warning: Verify fall clearance below the anchor before commencing work. The energy absorber is a single-use device — after any fall arrest the lanyard must be withdrawn from service and replaced. Always inspect every component before each use.

Safety Information

• Inspect every kit component visually before each use.
• Verify all components are compatible and present before commencing work at height.
• Train all users in the correct fitting and use of the kit before authorising use.
• Never use any kit component that has arrested a fall — withdraw the affected component from service.
• Always attach to certified anchor points rated to a minimum of 12 kN.
• Store the kit in the supplied bag in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
• Replace any individual component as required — kits can be re-built with replacement components.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect each component of the kit before every use. Components may have different service life and inspection intervals — refer to each component's operating manual for the specific requirements. A competent person thorough examination is required at least every 6 months for all components. Replace components as they reach end of service life or fail inspection. The storage bag protects components between uses; do not store wet equipment in a sealed bag, allow to air-dry first.
