a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS)
for use in Fall Arrest applications and will
reduce fall arrest forces to no greater than 6kN.
Applicable Connection Point:
Sternal (chest) D-ring only
No freefall is permitted

Space applications. Rescue systems
function to safely recover a worker from
a confined location or after exposed to a fall.

attachment points rated for rescue
No freefall is permitted
Guardian recommends this RTFA is mounted
using an approved bracket for recovery
applications to enable device stability when
operating.
Maximum lifting distance: 18m
(FABX2R)/40m (FABXLR).
Maximum lowering distance: 2m (all
variants).
Competent Person Definition
The job site safety supervisor, referred to in this manual as
the Competent Person (CP), must be a highly trained and
experienced person who is assigned by the employer to
be responsible for all elements of the fall safety program;
this includes, but is not limited to, program regulation,
management, and application. The CP must be proficient
in identifying existing and predictable fall hazards, and
must have the authority to stop work to eliminate hazards or
otherwise promote safe and compliant work

Maximum User weight (including all
clothing, tools, and equipment): 136kg
Anchorage point in PFAS must be rated to
withstand minimum 12kN load and be
EN 795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000 approved.
The job site Competent Person (CP) must ensure
that there are sufficiently strong and accessible
anchorage points in the working environment.
Anchorages should be overhead when possible
and the area beneath and around them should
be clear of obstruction and sharp edges. Always
attach to an anchorage that is as close to the
point of work and as high above head as possible
without restricting free movement. The user
should be aware at all times of which attachment
points to use; if not immediate obvious they must
seek confirmation from the CP. Always ensure
that the means of attachment to the anchorage
is secure before beginning work.
Applicable Safety Standards

Risk Statement
The device is designed to protect against; falls
from height and reduce peak forces generated
during a fall below 6kN; in addition the device
is designed to prevent injury or a user in a
