Work at Heights Introduction

Dear valued customers and partners,

The history of our company dates back to 1990 and began with production of outdoor equipment. After a long period of shortages, the Velvet Revolution offered new business opportunities and the first production of sport sit harnesses and slings fueled the enthusiasm of several climbers. From the beginning, there was a close relationship with the emerging business network of Hudy Sport, which, in 1994, led to the creation of our sister company, Hudy Production. The company specialized in climbing harnesses, and the ROCK EMPIRE® brand became synonymous with first-class climbing equipment. Development of the company was closely linked with Hudy Sport, and, after a few years, the company successfully secured the ROCK EMPIRE® brand for business activities in Czech Republic as well as abroad. Together, we supported a plethora of climbing talent, climbing expeditions as well as events for climbing enthusiasts and the general public. These contacts were always very important to us when deciding what direction the company should take. Unfortunately, every development has its limits, and, in 2007, it was decided to separate the interests of the export-oriented Hudy Production and the business network of Hudy Sport. In the summer of 2008, ROCK EMPIRE Inc. was created, and, since 2009, the company has the export rights to the ROCK EMPIRE® registered trademark. Currently, our products are sold worldwide in more than 30 countries. The design of our products is based on years of experience cooperating with our customers. All of our products are guided by the motto, “functional design,” which expresses our commitment to the highest level of functionality, usability and comfort. Development of climbing equipment has always gone hand in hand with the general needs of movement at heights which translates into many other activities. One of the most important is undoubtedly safely working at heights, which is subject to strict standards and certifications. Our most well-known work harness, the full body harness Skill Uni, first produced in 2002, has been used by mine rescuers in Chile, Green Peace activists in New Zealand and rescue personnel in Czech Republic. Due to the importance of this equipment and our expanded range of work-related products, we are pleased to present you with this catalogue, our first catalogue devoted exclusively to ROCK EMPIRE® personal protection equipment for use when working at heights. Managing Director Jiří Chaloupka

Carabiners are the most used parts in personal protection equipment. They play a vital role in protecting professionals working at heights as well as rescuers. They must combine durability, functionality and impeccable design. ROCK EMPIRE carabiners include a wide range of products designed to meet the different users´ needs when used by themselves or in combination with other devices.

Keylock 

Keylock is a design point on the carabiner where the body meets the gate and locks. The keylock design locks securely and does not catch slings, ropes or harnesses. Opening and closing the carabiners is very simple. Carabiners with the keylock system are marked in the catalog with the symbol below.

REVISION OF PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT To ensure the safety of persons using personal protection equipment it is necessary to review and observe the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. These guidelines can be found in each instruction manual specific to the various personal protection equipment. In addition to the rules of use, the manufacturer of personal protection equipment also determines the need to implement inspection, the frequency of inspections and persons qualified to perform these checks. Regular inspections reduce the risk of possible injury to persons using the personal protection equipment and are required by law EN 365.

Rope Marker

/Zpm001/

A simple and practical marker for writing on ropes and textiles. Marking rope with the marker facilitates rope handling and increases safety. The chemical composition does not damage the structure of the rope and its properties. Ensures long durability of marking.

Lifetime of Products

Training Center

ROCK EMPIRE sets the maximum lifetime of their personal protection equipment, see page 33. Inspection of ROCK EMPIRE personal protection equipment may only be done by persons with a valid certificate issued by the company or by a holder of a valid license from IRATA with a Sprat level 3. If the inspector authorized by ROCK EMPIRE finds that a product is not eligible for additional safe use, it is within his powers to recommend disposal even if the life span of the product has not yet expired.

This is the desired distance under the user, consisting of the length of the connecting slings plus the extended length of the fall absorber. Thus, this is the necessary amount of free space required under the worker, in the event that the fall arrest is deployed, so the worker will not be hurt. The total length of all the pieces must not exceed 2 m (pieces include anchor, connectors, slings, lanyards). The laws are designed to prevent wrong choices of the fastener lengths and consequent severe crashes. A two-meter fall is extremely dangerous and it is therefore appropriate to shorten the length of the fasteners as much as possible. Unfortunately, even a correct selection and deployment of slings and fall absorbers does not guarantee complete safety. The essence of clearance is the space between the anchor point and the ground or the nearest obstacle. In such calculations, it is necessary to take into account the following factors depending on the system used. A. Slings and fall absorber B. Mobile system for fall arrests C. Effect of inertia.

Safe distance from the ground after the fall is about 1 m.

These devices and their additional components allow the fall arrester to work with maximum safety in normal conditions, which are defined by the EU standards: Slings EN 354, Fall Absorbers EN 355, and the fall arrest systems. Absorbing the fall energy is done by controlled destruction of the internal webbing shock absorber. This process is assured under any climatic conditions. According to the standards, the use of the fall absorbers is only possible where there is adequate clearance height, see page 24.

STORAGE CONDITIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

roc k empire / W O R K A T H E I G H T s

ROOFS When moving on a roof, a worker is exposed to risks: slipping, falling over the edge or into open spaces. If there are not sufficiently strong securing points on the roof, securing points on the ground can be used. When the worker moves near the edge of the roof, the risk of falling increases and then it is necessary to incorporate a fall absorber. THROW BAG
