3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
3.1 personal fall protection systems A system of individual fall protection equipment that secures operating personnels' positions during operations at height, climbing and suspension operations, prevents them from falling, or safely suspends them after a fall.
3.2 work positioning systems An individual fall protection system that uses ropes or belts wrapped around a fixed structure to bind the human body to the vicinity of a fixed structure to prevent the person from slipping and allow the operating personnels' both hands to perform other operations.
3.3 restraint systems Individual fall protection systems that restrain the range of movement of operating personnels to prevent them from reaching areas where a fall may occur.
3.4 fall arrest systems When an operating personnel falls, individual fall protection systems that will safely suspend the operating personnel through braking.
3.5 lanyard A rope or strap that connects the harnesses to the anchor in the personal protection systems. NOTE: lanyard generally serves to expand or restrain the wearer's range of movement and absorb the impact energy.
3.6 energy absorber A component connected in series between the harnesses and the anchor to absorb part of the impact energy and reduce the impact force when a fall occurs.
3.7 retractable type fall arrester A component connected in series between the harnesses and the anchor, equipped with a rope or belt that can be extended or retracted as the personnel moves, and can trigger a locking and braking effect due to speed changes when a fall occurs.
3.8 guided type fall arrester A component attached to the anchor line that triggers the braking action when falling.
3.9 harnesses A component that attaches the personal protection systems to the human body, and supports and controls the human body, and disperses the impact force when falling. NOTE: the harnesses are made of webbing, buckles and other metal components. There are generally full-body harnesses, single waist harnesses and half-body harnesses.
3.10 primary strap The webbing in the harnesses that directly bears the impact force.
3.11 secondary strap The webbing in the harnesses that does not directly bear the impact force.
3.12 deploy distance During the test, when the fall stops, the vertical distance from the test anchor to the lowest point of the torso test mass in the suspended state.
3.13 fall distance The maximum vertical distance from the starting point of the fall or the operating surface to the lowest point of the body that wears the personal protection systems.
