Guide: How fall arrest blocks work

How to use your fall arrest block

  1. Fix the block to an approved anchor point above the work surface.
  2. Connect the end of the rope to the A-point of your fall arrest harness.
  3. Move freely within the work area while the block automatically adjusts the length of the line.

How does a fall arrest block work?

A fall arrest block acts as an automatic safety belt when working at height. It has an extendable and retractable lanyard that follows the user's movements. In the event of a fall, the brake is quickly activated to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. The block is attached to an anchorage point above the workplace and connected to a fall arrest harness. Together, these three components form a safe and complete fall protection system.

Things to consider when choosing a fall arrest block

The right fall arrest block can literally save lives, so it's important to really think about your choice. Always reflect:

  • Work environment: Should the block be used indoors, outdoors or in corrosive environments?
  • Length and capacity: Wire blocks (2.5-65 metres) are durable and suitable for harsh environments, while strip blocks (2-15 metres) are lighter.
  • Assembly and mobility: Fixed or mobile? Do you need special fixing hooks or swivel brackets?
  • Extra features and accessories: Customise with brackets, carabiners, rescue function or other safety solutions.

Remember that a fall arrest block should always be combined with a fall arrest harness and anchorage point to ensure that your fall protection system is complete.

Customise your fall arrest block to your environment

Fall arrest blocks are divided into two main categories: wire block and webbing block. Rope blocks are robust with a durable steel rope - making them particularly suitable for harsh environments and long drops. Tape blocks, with their lighter webbing rope, are more flexible and easier to handle.

Both wire and strip blocks are available in several lengths. Some wire blocks also have an in-built rescue function, while others are tailored to work environments where there are sharp edges. In addition, there are many smart accessories which allows the blocks to be customised for different working conditions.

Safety as a top priority

Maintenance and repair

Regular maintenance is the main factor in the longevity and safe functioning of your fall arrest block. We suggest you check your equipment before each use and have an annual inspection by a competent person. Read our guide on how to clean your equipment in the best possible way.

Certifications for fall arrest blocks

EN 360 is the main certification for fall arrest blocks. It guarantees that the block can withstand a load of at least 12 kN (approx. 1.2 tonnes) and has an automatic locking function. All our products fulfil this standard, as well as all the stringent requirements to be approved for use in Sweden and throughout Europe.

Frequently asked questions about fall arrest blocks

  • Can I use a fall arrest block together with other fall protection equipment?

  • Absolutely! A fall arrest block should never be used alone. To create a complete fall protection system, they should always be combined with other components such as a fall arrest harness and anchorage point.

  • How often does a fall arrest block need to be inspected?

  • A fall arrest block should be inspected at least once a year by a competent person. However, it is important that you check your equipment every time you use it to ensure that it is not defective.

  • How long does a fall arrest block last?

  • With proper maintenance and regular servicing, a rope block has an unlimited lifespan, while a webbing block can have a lifespan of up to 10 years due to the ageing of the nylon in the webbing. If your block shows signs of damage or has been the cause of a fall accident, it should be replaced.

  • What is the difference between a wire block and a strip block?

  • Boats wire block and webbing block can be used indoors and outdoors, but the wire block is more suitable for harsh working environments. The wire blocks are available in lengths from 2.5 to 65 metres, while the strip blocks are available in lengths from 2 to 15 metres.
