Fall Protection System- Brochure

AVANTI FALL PROTECTION SYSTEMIn most countries it is required by law that the ladders in wind turbines are equipped with a fall protection system preventing the service technicians from falling down. Avanti Wind System has developed a safe and easy Fall Protection System with a safety rail installed as part of the ladder. Avanti Fall Pro-tection can be used by several technicians at the same time contrary to most other systems based on wires. Throughout the length of the ladder a technician can connect himself to Avanti’s system for every 6 meters. The technician carries a special click-on run-ner in his safety harness. The click-on runner is fastened to his harness with a snap hook like the ones used by mountain climbers. When entering the ladder – anywhere in the tower - the technician clicks the runner onto the safety rail in the center of the ladder. The click-on runner follows the user up and down. If he loses his foothold, the runner will immediately lock, and he will be hanging in the safety system until he gets a foothold again or until his colleagues can help him.Avanti Fall Protection System must be inspect-ed and tested at least ones a year by Avanti personnel or by a company authorized by Avanti Wind Systems.Avanti Fall Protection System is CE marked (Europe) and has been tested according to the OSHA regulations (USA). The Avanti Lad-der, that the safety system is connected to, is made of aluminum and complies with the Eu-ropean Standards EN 131-2, EN-ISO 14122, DIN 18779-1, BS4211:2005, BS5395-3:1985. Australia AS1657, USA ANSI A14.3-1992. The fall protection system prevents the user from falling down in case he feels indisposed or by accident does not get a proper foothold.The click-on runner follows the user up and down the ladder and can be clicked on and off no matter where you are on the ladder.Avanti has developed a click-on runner for the fall protection system, which is carried in a strap by the service technician. It is fastened with a snap hook of the same type as the ones used by mountain climbers.The European Standard requests a resting platform on the lad-der every 6 metre.AVANTI WIND SYSTEMS A/SHillerød - Denmark P: +45 4824 9024 I: www.avanti-online.comE: info@avanti-online.com AVANTI WIND SYSTEMS SLLa Muela (Zaragoza) - Spain P: +34 976 149 524 AVANTI WIND SYSTEMSShanghai-China P: +86 21 5785 8811 AVANTI WIND SYSTEMS, INC.New Berlin, Wisconsin - USA P: +1 262 641 9101 AVANTI WIND SYSTEMS, GmbHElmshorn - Germany P: +49 0 41 21-7 88 85 – 0 AVANTI WIND SYSTEMS LIMITEDRochdale - United Kingdom P: +44 0 7930 272 444 AVANTI WIND SYSTEMS PLChennai.
