than a few millimetres under a certain minimum load: this is typically 2 kN. To ensure correct functioning of the energy absorber, should it be called upon to arrest a fall, it is important that this load is not exceeded. A user of say 100 kg mass including equipment carried could easily achieve a 2 kN load on the energy-absorbing fall arrest lanyard if it were used for support. Unless an energy- absorbing fall arrest lanyard is specifically designed to support a user, such use should be avoided.E.2.2.3 Energy absorbers, particularly those used to support the user, should always be checked before each use and continually while being used to ensure they have not been partially or fully deployed. If there are any signs of deployment, the energy-absorbing fall arrest lanyard should be taken out of service.
