ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS PER VG 11

• It is possible to use a horizontal retractable type fall arrester over an edge type A (Sharp Edge

Units)

• It is recommended to avoid the loading of the retractable type fall arrester over edges.

• The retractable type fall arrester marked with edge symbol was also tested also for horizontal

use and a drop over a Type A edge has been successfully tested.(Sharp Edge Approved)

• Type A edge definition: A steel edge with a radius of r = 0.5 mm and without burrs was used

for the test. Due to this test, the equipment may be used over similar edges, as can be found

e.g. at rolled steel profiles, at wooden beams or at a clad, rounded roof parapet. However,

the following shall be considered when the equipment is used in a horizontal or transverse

arrangement and a risk of a fall from a height over an edge exists:

1. If the risk assessment carried out before the start of the work shows that the edge is very

"cutting" and / or "free of burrs" (such as in case of an unclad roof parapet, a rusty steel girder

or a concrete edge)

- relevant measures shall be taken before the start of the work to prevent a drop over the edge

or, before the start of work, an edge protection shall be mounted or

- the manufacturer shall be contacted.

2. The anchor point should only be situated at the same height as the edge at which a fall might

occur or above the edge.
