2. Temporary use with individual fall-arrest system.

For any work at height situation, a fall-arrest system is mandatory. In a temporary use situation, this fall-arrest system may be used on its own.

3. Long-term use

For a long-term operation, installing collective protection removes the need for individual fall-arrest systems and thus simplifies operations during the work phases. In the situations below, the GRILLON is used on its own for work positioning, in addition to collective protection.
