Retractable Webbing Fall Arrester - Nanook

This retractable fall arrester is equipped with a thick webbing kept in tension. It acts as a connecting device between a full-body harness and an anchorage, shown in the ABC fall protection diagram. It follows the movements of a user who doesn't have to adjust the length. 

The fall arrester unrolls as they go further away, and retracts as they go back. In a fall, it blocks and stops automatically. The device is usually used for these professions: works on a facade, on the terrace, on scaffolding, on an aerial lift, and maintenance.

FAQs about Fall Arrest

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF RETRACTABLE FALL ARRESTER?

Take an example of a 6-foot tall worker, only 12.5 feet of fall distance clearance is required when using a retractable fall arrester while 17.5 feet is required when using a 6-foot lanyard. 

Also, it brings great freedom of movements. Many fall protection professionals, therefore, tend to recommend retractable fall arrester over lanyards.

WHAT IS A FALL ARREST SYSTEM?

This system, a form of fall protection, allows workers to have maximum freedom of movement but also allows them to reach the point where a fall may occur, such as the edge of a roof. When it happens, the fall arrest system stops a person already falling from colliding with the ground, structure, or any other obstacle during a free fall and limits the impact force on the worker during fall arrest. In order to achieve the result, a collection of safety equipment conforming to the required standards, used in conjunction with each other to ensure the safety of a worker.

• OSHA: A fall arrest system does not prevent a fall, but instead it is designed to catch the worker with minimal injury. The components of a fall arrest system are as follows:
  - Connecting means (e.g., snap hooks)
  - Shock-absorbing lanyard, self-retracting lanyards and lifelines
  - Full body harness
  - Anchor point (e.g., fixed railing, ship's mast)
