VERTICALITY - LIGHTING

Progressing, sharing... 

Since our beginnings in caving, Petzl’s mission has remained constant: to design practical 

tools that help people to operate in vertical and/or dark environments. 

After the invention of the first rope clamps by Fernand Petzl, the family business began to 

transpose caving tools to other vertical environments: first to alpine activities, with climbing 

and mountaineering, then to professional activities, with work at height and rescue in difficult 

locations. 

Each Petzl product is designed to meet a precise need found in the professional world. 

For workers, reliability and quality of equipment are essential. Petzl creates solutions that 

provide simple, solid tools that are meant for intensive use. These solutions consist not 

only of products, but also of an array of technical advice and information modules that are 

available through our communication resources and our distribution network. Part of this 

information is also available at www.petzl.com 

By its very nature, progression has no limits: we are constantly inventing new solutions, and 

there is no reason for this to stop.

General principles for working at height 

Restraint 

This technique aims to keep the worker from 

entering a zone where there is a risk of falling 

(leash principle): lanyard + work positioning 

harness (the length of the lanyard is chosen to 

keep the worker away from a fall hazard area).

Warning 

Take the time to fully read and understand the 

information presented in this catalog, as well 

as the instructions for use that come with the 

products. Gaining an adequate apprenticeship 

is your own responsibility. 

The information presented in this catalog is 

believed to be correct at press time. But it 

is not guaranteed to be exhaustive, correct, 

understandable, or up-to-date. 

Fall arrest 

The fall arrest system is designed to prevent the 

risks associated with a fall: 

- Striking an obstacle or the ground 

- Excessive impact force 

- Inert suspension: aggravates the person’s 

condition 

Petzl reserves the right to modify this 

information at any time. Contact Petzl if you 

have any doubt or difficulty in understanding 

the information presented in this catalog. 

Reduce the distance required to arrest the fall 

You must anticipate the required clearance. This 

clearance is the space required under the user so 

that he doesn’t hit any obstacles during a fall (see 

diagram). 

Notes: 

• Lanyards or energy absorbers should be no longer 

than two meters 

• the length of the fall should always be minimized 

• The clearance required depends on the system you 

are using: lanyard, energy absorber, mobile fall arrest 

device, reel... 

Absorb the energy of the fall in order to limit the 

impact transferred to the human body 

During a fall, the worker should never be subjected to 

a force greater than 6 kN. Two means are possible: 

• Be sure that the lanyards always remain attached to 

the anchor points, above the head, so that the length 

of the fall and the force generated by the fall are 

minimized 

• if it is not possible to limit the fall, a shock absorber 

should be used. The most common PPE (personal 

protective equipment) with shock absorption are 

energy absorbers 

Maintain the victim in a position that limits the 

effects of inert suspension 

The fall arrest system is designed to minimize the 

effects of gravity on the human body during a fall 

(reduces the force of impact, avoids or reduces 

impact against an obstacle). Despite this, the 

consequences of a fall are often serious. Hanging 

immobile in a harness, regardless of the model used, 

can cause serious physiological harm. This is not the 

case when the hanging victim is conscious, as he is 

able to continually shift the pressure points of his 

harness by himself. In conclusion: Teams must be 

knowledgeable, trained and independent enough to 

rescue an unconscious worker or a worker incapable 

of self-rescue.

Mastering the techniques 

To optimize safety and efficiency in work 

at height, great precision and excellent 

technique are required. These skills should 

be acquired through specific training and 

regular practice appropriate for each stage 

of the operation. Petzl recommends using 

Fall factor and clearance 

The fall factor is the relationship between the 

height of the fall and the length of the rope or 

lanyard available for absorbing the energy of the 

fall. It is calculated with the equation: 

Fall factor = 

Length of fall / length of rope or sling 

Fall factor 1 

4 m 

minimum 

Fall factor 2 

4,35 m

With energy absorber

a specialized training organization for all 

training activities. The examples on the 

following pages illustrate some of the 

practices used in the vertical world. 

Clearance is the minimum distance required to 

prevent the user from striking the ground in case 

of a fall. The energy absorber limits the impact 

force on the user. With a significant impact, the 

user risks serious injury if he has no absorber. 

The system extends in order to absorb the 

energy of the fall. This elongation must be taken 

into account when calculating clearance. 

(Example of clearance calculation page 73). 

Without energy absorber 

Shock load > 8 - 10kN 

Without energy absorber 

Shock load > 10 - 14kN 

Work positioning 

This technique allows the worker to work while 

hanging in his equipment, hands free: 

• Where there is no risk of falling into space 

(low-angle roof): work positioning harness and 

lanyard 

• Where there is a risk of falling (unfinished 

roof, roof unprotected by collective protection, 

steep slope, etc.): work positioning and fall 

arrest harness, work positioning lanyard, fall 

arrest system

Rope access and confined spaces 

Rope access 

This progression technique is used when there 

is no collective protection (railing, protective 

nets, etc.) or when overhanging structures or 

worksites do not allow for mobile platforms, outdoor 

scaffolding, etc. to be used. 

This is also the case for temporary operations where 

it is not practical to set up collective protection. 

The work area is accessed with ropes by operators 

specialized in rope access techniques. A site can be 

accessed from the top (safer and simpler to set up, 

this is the technique of choice), or from below (for 

example, a leader throws a rope up and around a 

fixed point, and then climbs up the rope, or he uses 

mountaineering progression techniques). Once the 

leader has installed all the progression and safety 

ropes, the other workers can safely climb up these 

ropes. 

Confined spaces 

Work done in confined spaces carries specific 

additional difficulties related primarily to the lack 

of space and to the lack of means of autonomous 

progression. Besides, the worker may face numerous 

additional constraints: length of the intervention, 

air quality, temperature, etc. Since he cannot move 

about or ensure his own safety, someone working 

in this type of environment must have assistance. 

Confined spaces are generally accessed from the top. 

The worker’s safety is ensured by a reversible hauling 

system, which is independent and reliable, allowing a 

quick evacuation in case of an accident.

Tree care 

When it is not possible or appropriate to use an 

exterior means (elevating platform, ladder, etc.), 

the arborist uses a rope progression technique. 

To do this, he sets up a rope from the ground and 

installs an ascending system which is determined 

by the configuration and height of the tree. Once 

the arborist is in position, he must stay balanced 

and comfortable (harness with attachment bridge 

and adjustable lanyards). The work positioning 

system should always be backed up during a cutting 

operation.

Energy and networks 

The techniques used for moving around depend 

directly on the specifics of each structure and the 

presence/absence of collective protection. In its 

absence, team members must ensure their own 

safety with PPE (personal protective equipment). 

This is the case, for example, when working on 

an antenna or when setting up or taking down 

structures for events. To protect himself in the case 

of a fall, each worker must use a fall arrest system 

(for example: self-belay on the structure with an 

energy-absorbing lanyard or on a lifeline with a 

mobile fall arrester). If necessary, a positioning 

system is used to enable hands-free work. If the 

structure does have collective protection, a work 

positioning system (adjustable lanyard) may be 

sufficient. In special cases, workers may also need 

to use advanced techniques for progression (alpine 

technique for installing a safety line, hauling system 

for lifting a load, descending on a rope, etc.).

Framing and roofing 

A safety device must be put in place before working 

on a roof for protection in case of slips or falls. 

The type of system is determined by the length of 

the operation. If the operation is long, it should 

be protected by collective protection in order to 

eliminate any risk of falling. If it is a short-term, 

temporary operation, individual protection is used. 

(PPE is necessary in either case for installing the 

collective protection if the building is not already 

equipped with it). In this situation, there is a great 

risk of falling. Each person must use a fall arrest 

system (for example, energy absorber with mobile 

fall arrester and safety rope). 

If collective protection is present and adequate 

for fall protection, a work positioning system with 

adjustable lanyard is the perfect solution.

General rescue principles 

Hanging immobile in a harness, even for a short time, can cause serious 

physiological harm. In case of an accident, it is important to intervene 

quickly with the appropriate technique. 

Self-rescue: 

On sites where the main access could be cut off by fire, people must 

be ready to evacuate the building quickly. They have evacuation kits. 

These kits are either portable or installed permanently on the structure. 

Where there is no identified anchor possibility, these people can use a 

hook-based system. In both cases, teams are regularly trained so as not 

to panic in case of a fire. 

On-site rescue: 

When a worksite is being set up, the company must establish a risk 

prevention plan (inventory of risk situations): 

1. It must protect the personnel from falls from height. 

The solutions, whether collective or individual, must protect the team 

members while they work. 

2. In the case of an incident, the company must be prepared with rescue 

systems for accessing, releasing and evacuating the victim. These 

solutions are established with: 

- ready-to-use rescue kits, adaptable to many situations and simple to 

use 

- personal equipment for the worker at height (solution requiring 

experienced and precisely trained teams) 

In both cases, the teams undergo regular training in order to be able to 

intervene rapidly in case of an accident. 

Technical rescue: 

Technical rescue teams must be able to intervene rapidly in any situation. 

They must quickly assess the situation and know all the techniques for 

progression and safety on a rope. 

- When access is difficult, these people must be able to intervene with 

their own equipment. They have light, versatile equipment 

- When access is easier or possible by motorized means, they use more 

specific equipment 

Ski lift evacuation: 

Operations evacuating ski lift users follow an evacuation plan. Rescue 

kits are put together to respond exactly to the needs of each ski centre. 

24 

Access the victim 

Accessing the victim can sometimes be complicated. Rope access 

techniques are used in such a case. When access is possible from above, 

rescuers use rope descent techniques. 

If an access rope is in place, rescuers can ascend the rope using handled 

ventral rope clamp techniques. In other situations, rescuers are obliged to 

use climbing techniques to reach the victim.

Release the victim 

Hauling 

This involves using a mechanical advantage pulley system in order to easily 

raise the victim. When the rescuer is alone, he will create such a system to 

conserve energy. The inconvenience is that a long rope is required. If there 

are enough rescuers, a lower mechanical advantage is used to hasten the 

operation. 

“Balancier” technique 

This is a counterweight system. The rescuer is on one side, the victim on the 

other. The rescuer unweights the rope on the victim’s side by pulling on it. 

The victim ascends and the rescuer descends. The advantage of this system 

is that it is easy to do with little equipment. Engaging the counterweight 

is the step that demands the most energy. After that, it is important to be 

careful to keep the system under control. Be careful when there is a big 

weight difference between the rescuer and the victim. 

Hauling 

Example: 

46 daN 

100 daN 


Example: 

80 daN 

27 daN 

110 daN 

Evacuate the victim 

Downward, the evacuation is carried out with a descender. This is the easiest 

technique currently in use. When evacuation downward is impossible, the 

victim is evacuated upward or horizontally. 

Upward, rescuers use either the counterweight or the hauling technique. 

Horizontally, several ropes are stretched taut. One rope is used for carriage, 

another is used as a back-up belay, and another to move the litter.

EXO self-evacuation 

Following a tragic accident in 2004, the Fire 

Department of New York (FDNY) wanted to equip 

each firefighter with an individual system of 

protection, allowing emergency self-evacuation 

from a burning building. To do this, the FDNY 

conducted a very specific study of their needs. Over 

forty technical solutions were proposed and more 

than 5000 tests were carried out in their training 

centers. During this study, the FDNY approached 

Petzl to request the development of a device based 

on the GRIGRI (descender/belayer) and to fine-tune a 

new emergency evacuation technique. The EXO was 

the result of this association of experts and is now 

carried by all of New York’s firefighters. This system 

allows each firefighter to quickly escape a burning 

building, with a high level of safety.

On-site rescue 

If a victim is not able to rescue himself, the on-site 

work team has to immediately intervene and move 

him to safety to wait for the outside rescue team to 

arrive. To be able to do this, the personnel should 

take a specialized course and train regularly. A 

rescuer will intervene with his own equipment or use 

a specific rescue kit, following the worksite’s rescue 

plan.

Technical rescue 

Technical rescue teams intervene in particularly 

difficult or dangerous situations. Intensively trained 

and taught, they operate in any environment where 

conventional rescue teams cannot intervene safely. 

These specialists master all the techniques for 

progression and belaying on ropes, including the 

more complex ones: evacuation downward, upward, 

or by Tyrolean traverse, etc. 

Downward evacuation 

Easier to install, this type of evacuation is favored 

whenever possible. Downward evacuation takes 

place using gravity, applying different techniques 

determined for specific types of terrain. 

Upward evacuation 

Upward evacuation requires techniques which are 

sometimes particularly complex (hauling with a 

mechanical winch, creating a hauling system built 

from lightweight pulleys, using counterweight 

techniques, etc.). Upward evacuation is a team 

effort and requires perfect coordination by everyone 

involved. 

Evacuation by Tyrolean traverse 

When evacuation of the victim is difficult (urban 

sites, industrial sites, confined spaces, canyons, etc.) 

or impossible due to the presence of an obstacle, 

victims can be evacuated via Tyrolean traverse. 

These complex systems can only be installed by 

rescue workers who have been specially trained 

to make suitable decisions about the choice of 

techniques (Tyrolean traverse set up with transport 

rope and back-up safety rope, «cable-car» system, 

special Tyrolean traverse for moving the victim in all 

directions while adapting to the terrain, etc.).

Ski lift evacuation 

If ski lift equipment fails, the person in charge must 

evacuate passengers according to the evacuation 

plan. This document explains precisely how all the 

operations should be carried out and what human 

and material means must be employed. 

In most cases, these operations are carried out by 

the operating personnel. The maximum projected 

time allowed for evacuating all passengers is 

3.5 hours (from breakdown to evacuation of the last 

passenger). This time can be reduced and adapted 

to the situation according to the weather, the type of 

installation, etc. 

In case of difficulty, the operator may call in 

organized rescue squads (mountain rescue, civil 

emergency services, etc.). Evacuation of a ski lift 

requires specific techniques for movement along a 

cable. For maximum efficiency, these operations are 

led simultaneously by several independent teams, 

generally composed of two people (one suspended 

on the cable for evacuation, the other on the 

ground to receive the passengers and to guide the 

movements of his colleague). The success of these 

operations hinges largely on the instruction, training 

and practice of the operating personnel (at least once 

a year).

PETZL solutions for workers over 100 kg 

Go to www.petzl.com/over100kg, to find a tool that proposes equipment 

solutions for workers weighing 100 to 140 kg according to their weight 

and equipment. 

The tool proposes three solutions: 

- reduce the fall height 

- increase the absorption capacity of the system 

- change nothing when the system’s absorption capacity is sufficient 

Related explanations about the strength of equipment, its absorption 

capacity, as well as the strength of the human body, are also available.

Petzl makes several types of harnesses to respond specifically to 

the different needs of workers at height. These products provide 

maximum efficiency and security for workers at height. They are 

simple to use, comfortable and technically adapted to the needs of 

the tasks for which they are designed. Petzl also suggests various 

accessories that allow supplementary functionality to be integrated 

into the harness, as well as rescue equipment. 

Comfort 

On harnesses for suspended work, comfort is assured by wide waistbelts 

and thicker foam in high pressure areas. The materials used (perforated 

foam, thermoformed supports, etc.) assure good ventilation, optimal light 

weight and excellent rigidity where required. 

Attachment points 

The ventral attachment point distributes the weight more evenly between 

the waistbelt and the leg loops during suspended work. The lateral points 

distribute the load on the waistbelt for suspended work with a supporting 

surface for the feet. The dorsal and sternal points on full body harnesses are 

used to connect fall arrest systems. 

Adjustments 

All Petzl harnesses have adjustable waistbelts, leg loops, and shoulder 

straps ,as applicable. Each adjustment point is equipped with DoubleBack 

self-locking buckles. These do not require re-threading to be locked: the 

harness adjusts easily in seconds. To facilitate donning while keeping the 

feet on the ground, or with large shoes, certain harnesses also have FAST 

automatic buckles on the leg loops and waistbelt. Once adjusted, these 

buckles open and close easily and quickly - the harness can be put on 

without adjusting all the buckles.

Essential for work at height and certain industrial activities, 

helmets offer effective protection for the head from falling objects 

or in case the person himself falls. 

In the absence of specific European standards for helmets for 

workers at height, Petzl refers to two existing standards when 

developing its line of helmets adapted to professional needs: 

- standard for industrial helmets (EN 397) 

- standard for mountaineering helmets (protection against impacts 

EN 12492)

CenterFit adjustment 

The headband is adjusted with the simultaneous action of the two 

CenterFit adjustment wheels. The adjustment wheels are easy to 

manipulate while wearing gloves. 

Adaptability 

VERTEX and ALVEO helmets adapt to your 

lighting needs and additional protection 

requirements in a few seconds. 

Personalizing 

PIXA PIXA 

VIZIR VIZIR 

PIXA PIXA 

VIZIR VIZIR 

VERTEX ALVEO 

Accessories associated with VERTEX and ALVEO helmets allow each 

user to adapt the equipment to his/her needs. 

• Page of transparent stickers: allows the user to display a personal 

marking on the helmet 

• Page of reflective stickers: provides better visibility in the dark 

• Absorbent foam: textile foam ensures better absorption of 

perspiration, needs regular maintenance 

• Replacement foams: foams similar to those provided with each 

helmet; do not absorb perspiration 

For protection: the user can install a protective 

VIZIR face shield with the two lateral inserts, 

and can add hearing protection with the two 

lateral slots. 

The CenterFit system allows the helmet to be perfectly centered on 

the head. 

For lighting: each helmet has a front mounting 

slot for attachment of a PIXA headlamp, 

and four positioning hooks for mounting a 

headlamp with an elastic headband.

Differences in construction 

60 

VERTEX and ALVEO helmets 

ensure protection against 

impacts, in compliance with 

EN 397 and EN 12492 European 

standards, as well as with 

the ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 North 

American standard. 

VERTEX helmets also protect 

against impacts in compliance 

with the CSA Z94.1 Type 1 

standard. 

The differences are found in the chinstrap and in the presence or 

lack of ventilation: 

- a strong chinstrap is 

suggested for work at height 

to limit the risk of losing 

the helmet during a fall 

(available in BEST and VENT 

versions, chinstrap conforms 

to the EN 12492 European 

standard) 

For all further information, go to 

www.petzl.com/VERTEX or www.petzl.com/ALVEO 

- a ventilated shell has the 

advantage of providing 

comfort when the temperature 

is elevated, but does not 

ensure protection against 

electrical risks and molten 

metal splash 

In the presence of either of 

these two risk factors, use a 

helmet with a non-ventilated 

shell. 

VERTEX and ALVEO nonventilated 

helmets comply 

with the requirements of 

the EN 397 and EN 50365 

European standards and the 

ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 Class E 

North American standard 

for electrical insulation. 

VERTEX BEST helmets ensure 

protection against electrical 

risks in compliance with the 

CSA Z94.1 Type 1 Class E 

standard. 

VERTEX 

VERTEX helmets have a six-point webbing suspension 

system for maximum comfort on the head. Shock absorption 

achieved through deformation of the outer shell. 

455 g 

ALVEO 

ALVEO helmets have an internal expanded polystyrene foam 

liner for reduced weight. Shock is absorbed by deformation 

of the expanded polystyrene liner.

LANYARDS 

Moix Fred © (Suisse) Palézieux 

66 Altimum, 

There are two main types of lanyards: 

- adjustable positioning lanyards for precise and comfortable 

positioning at a work station 

- lanyards with energy absorber designed to limit the impact 

transmitted to the user in case of a fall 

The range of Petzl lanyards also includes specialized lanyards 

adapted to specific uses, such as progression lanyards for difficult 

access, for use with the ASCENSION progression rope clamp, or 

energy absorbing lanyards, for use with the ASAP fall arrester. 

Sewn terminations 

Sewn terminations on rope lanyards give an increase in strength (compared 

to a knotted termination) while reducing bulk. 

Plastic sheaths and STRING 

Plastic sheaths and STRINGs hold the connectors in place. They also protect 

the ends of the lanyards from abrasion.

• Adjustable lanyards for work positioning 

Adjustable lanyards are used to build a work positioning system as a complement to a fall-arrest system. Their length can be very easily and precisely adjusted as 

necessary for comfortable positioning at a specific work station. 

GRILLON GRILLON HOOK GRILLON MGO 

• Lanyards with energy absorber 

Lanyards with energy absorber used when there is a fall risk. The energy absorber, sized according to lanyard length, allows energy to be dissipated through the tearing of 

specific webbing or stitching. 

Petzl suggests two types of lanyard with absorber: 

- single-leg «I» lanyards for fixed work stations (ABSORBICA-I), or two-leg «Y» models for progression (ABSORBICA-Y) 

- component lanyards having a maximum length of two meters (asymmetrical lanyards, mixed lanyards with two different connectors, etc, with ABSORBICA and JANE)

Adjustable lanyards for work positioning 

68 

Usage: single 

When the anchor is located above the user, the GRILLON lanyard is 

connected to the harness ventral attachment point, so that the load is 

comfortably distributed between the belt and leg loops. The user adjusts his 

position by operating the handle, while holding the free end of the lanyard. 

Usage: double 

The GRILLON lanyard can be used in double mode (on the harness lateral 

attachment points) when the user must work with a supporting surface for 

the feet. This type of attachment gives better load distribution on the belt. The 

user precisely adjusts his position by pressing on the lanyard’s pivoting cam. 

The GRILLON lanyard’s rope protector allows good lateral mobility because 

the rope can slide through the protector. 

GRILLON L52A 

Adjustable lanyard for work positioning 

• Lanyard with fine adjustment system for precise work 

positioning 

• Can be used in two ways: 

- double mode, on the harness lateral attachment 

points, to distribute the weight on the belt (user has 

weight on his feet): length is adjusted by pressing on 

the pivoting cam) 

- single mode on the harness ventral attachment point, 

to distribute weight between the waistbelt and the 

leg loops (user is suspended): length is adjusted by 

operating the handle while holding the free end of the 

lanyard 

• Removable protective sheath protects the rope from 

abrasive contact and favors smooth rope glide. The 

protection can be removed when the single lanyard

MOBILE FALL ARRESTER 

Turek Martin / Kolar Jan © Republic) (Czech Liberec Sikora, & 

74 Pelisek 

Installed on a lifeline, the ASAP mobile fall arrester follows the user 

automatically as he moves, whether on an inclined or vertical surface. In 

case of a shock or sudden acceleration, the ASAP mobile fall arrester’s 

locking wheel will lock onto the rope and stop the fall. If necessary, the 

mobile fall arrester can be connected to an energy-absorbing lanyard when 

working farther from the lifeline. 

Under normal use, the ASAP mobile fall arrester’s locking wheel rolls 

along the rope, whether it is vertical or angled, to follow the user in his 

movements. In case of a fall or excessive speed (slide, uncontrolled 

descent), the wheel will lock and stop the fall. 

The ASAP mobile fall arrester may be quickly and easily installed anywhere 

on the rope by retracting the locking wheel.

Complementary information 

Carabiners are the key element in the belay chain that is part of all vertical 

activities. This is why it is essential to understand their different uses and 

limitations. A carabiner is very strong when it is loaded along its major axis. 

• A carabiner may become weaker under certain conditions: 

- if it is not loaded along its major axis (figures 1 and 2) 

- if the gate is open (figure 3) 

- if it is subjected to external pressure (figure 4) 

1 2 3 4 

• Petzl solutions: 

Put a STRING on the lanyard Use a three-directional carabiner Lengthen the sling Lengthen the sling 

Always keep an eye on your carabiners 

Which connector should be used with the NEWTON? 

The connector to use with the 

NEWTON harness depends 

on the attachment point used 

for connecting the fall arrest 

system. 

NEWTON C73000 

Use of sternal attachment point 

The connector acts as a connection point and is 

loaded along three axes. 

Use the OMNI type EN 362 locking threedirectional 

connector. 

or 

Use of dorsal attachment point 

The connector acts only to fasten the harness 

and is loaded along the major axis. You can use 

an OK type EN 362 locking connector. 

Warning: Only the dorsal attachment points may 

be used to connect the fall arrest system.

Denys 

Stéphan © (Belgique) Aywaille Aywaille, 

84 GRIMP 

For both work-at-height and rescue, access from above is 

preferable because it allows one to take advantage of the force of 

gravity to save energy. Descenders are designed to help regulate 

friction and control the descent on a fixed rope. They allow a

Rope clamps are primarily used for progression on ropes and for 

creating haul systems. 

Easy to use 

Rope clamps have to be easy and quick to use, for efficiency during 

progression, for passing intermediate anchors and for transitioning from 

ascending to descending. To do this, the rope is grabbed by a retractable 

spring-loaded cam. When the cam is locked in the open position, the rope 

channel is clear and thus facilitates the installation of the clamp onto the 

rope. 

Optimal grip 

Petzl’s frame-loaded rope clamps are designed to function optimally under 

any conditions (wet, frozen, dirty ropes, for example). Therefore, they are 

equipped with a specific chrome-plated steel cam. 

Its unique design, the shape of its teeth and its self-cleaning slot allow 

optimal grip on the rope without damaging it, while reducing the effort 

required to slide the device up the rope.

• Rope clamps for progression 

Frame-loaded rope clamps are easy to install and specially designed for rope ascents (handled rope clamps, ventral rope clamps and foot-mounted rope clamps).

PULLEYS 

96 GRIMP Aywaille, Aywaille (Belgique) © Stéphan Denys 

Pulleys are used to haul up equipment or raise a person in a rescue 

situation. Some pulleys have an integrated rope clamp to make 

certain tasks easier. Certain pulleys also allow for movement along 

a rope or cable: for moving loads or evacuating a person. 

Two factors determine a pulley’s efficiency: 

Sheave size: the larger the sheave diameter, the higher the 

efficiency. 

Bushings and bearings: self-lubricating bushings are efficient, but 

they must be regularly maintained. 

Sealed ball bearings are very efficient, and they do not require any 

maintenance. 

For easier selection of the appropriate pulley for each need, all Petzl 

pulleys with ball-bearings are identified by a symbol. 

The second symbol represents the maximum rope diameter to be 

used with each pulley.

• Progress capture pulleys 

Pulleys with an integrated progress capture system may be used to replace a traditional pulley / rope clamp set-up in hauling systems.

108 Rope 

The line of Petzl ropes is designed for professionals in the vertical 

world. They offer an effective solution to the demands of different 

activities: difficult access, technical rescue, industrial use... To meet 

the needs of clients around the world, Petzl offers ropes that meet 

European standards for semi-static ropes and North American 

standards for static ropes. 

Custom length ropes 

(Available only for European standard ropes) 

To more precisely respond to the specific needs of some 

professionals, Petzl offers a personalized service. It is therefore 

possible to order a rope at a specified length, with high-quality 

manufactured terminations having a protective sheath on one 

or both ends. This means that these products are ready for use 

without adding any knots. 

The sewn terminations have a protective sheath that keeps the 

connector in position and facilitates manipulations. 

The manufactured terminations are also stronger than a figureeight 

knot and meet certain standards, specifically the EN 353-2 

standard (mobile fall arrest system including a flexible anchor line, 

ASAP + rope).

Key points about lighting 

Beam uniformity 

A uniform light beam ensures maximum visual comfort for the 

user: lighting is uniform and has no bright point in the center, 

no spotting, no shaded zone. 

Quality of light source 

A perfectly uniform beam can not be obtained without 

a high-quality, rigorously designed light source and 

lens. 

Shape of the beam 

122 

The following pages provide complementary information that 

is essential for a complete understanding of the technical 

aspects of headlamps. 

This information will help answer the most common 

questions, such as: 

The choice of shape of the light beam on a headlamp depends 

directly on how it will be used. There are three main beam shapes. 

The wide beam 

It allows diffuse lighting ideal for close-range work. 

Absence of bright center point 

A bright point in the center of the beam hampers 

vision, as it blinds the user and obliges him/her to 

orient the bright point precisely to the zone he/she 

wishes to see. A perfectly uniform beam eliminates 

these two flaws: it is not blinding and allows precise 

viewing of the lit zone. 

The mixed beam 

It combines a wide part for proximity lighting and a 

focused part for distance lighting. 

- what are the main characteristics of a headlamp? 

- what are Petzl's requirements? 

- what equipment should be used in zones that present a risk 

of explosion? 

Absence of visual abnormalities 

A uniform beam provides lighting without spots, 

rings, or shaded zones. These irregularities prevent 

precise vision and may be disruptive during use, even 

causing loss of attention. 

The focused beam 

It concentrates the light to shine long distances and 

can be precisely aimed.

Constant lighting level 

The main advantage of a constant lighting level is 

that it provides stable lighting performance over the 

burn time associated with each headlamp. This way, 

the user knows that neither the luminosity nor the 

lighting distance will decrease during this period. 

Distance (meters) 

t 0 12 h 60 h 120 h 

Lighting level 

Each headlamp provides a lighting level adapted to a specific use. 

The lighting level is related to the type of light beam: a headlamp 

designed for proximity lighting generally provides a wide beam with 

moderate light output. On the other hand, a headlamp adapted for 

long-range vision provides a focused beam associated with high 

light output. 

Lighting mode 

In most cases, headlamps have several lighting modes that allow 

the user to adapt the light quantity or the shape of the beam to the 

need. These lighting modes also allow the user to favor greater 

light output or longer burntime. 

To obtain constant lighting, headlamps are equipped 

with an electronic regulator that maintains luminosity 

and initial lighting distance, as long as the electric 

current delivered by the energy source is sufficient. 

When this source becomes too weak, the light output 

decreases to a minimum lighting level. This reserve 

lighting is nonetheless sufficient for finishing a task 

or for moving around, or to replace the batteries, for 

example. 

Headlamps not equipped with a regulation feature 

offer very bright light for only approximately 

20 minutes. The light output then decreases 

progressively until the electric power source is 

depleted.

Petzl requirements 

To ensure excellent performance and quality for 

each product, all Petzl headlamps undergo different 

mechanical, electrical and optical simulations during 

their development. These tests adhere to rigorous 

protocol, with requirements that significantly surpass 

those imposed by the common standards. 

This particularly strict process ensures that each 

technical solution is inspected during use, and that 

the relevance of the product is checked. 

Beyond laboratory tests, the first prototypes undergo 

numerous field tests, allowing true-condition 

verification of the ergonomics, the comfort of use, 

and the reliability of the headlamp over time. 

The product will receive final approval only after 

many months of development and testing. 

Testing conditions 

Lighting performance and mechanical resistance 

tests are performed in the lab. These tests are first 

carried out at an ambient temperature of 20 °C, 

and then at extreme temperatures between -30 °C 

and +60 °C. 

Petzl LEDs 

LEDs used by Petzl meet precise requirements 

established by the R&D Department. These same 

LEDs are then randomly tested before the headlamps 

are assembled, in order to verify the light color, 

the electrical consumption, the luminous flux, 

and the light output. 

Standards 

With its new lines of products, Petzl satisfies the 

ANSI/NEMA FL1 North American standard for 

measuring performance. 

Certain product lines also satisfy the requirements of 

the ATEX European standard and the HAZLOC North 

American standard for use in environments where 

there is risk of explosion. 

For more information, please consult www.petzl.com 

124

Performance 

Lighting performance 

Just after switching on, the lighting performance of 

the lamp decreases in a systematic way. Regulation 

technology allows performance to be stabilized over 

a given duration. To give the user realistic data, 

Petzl communicates only about stabilized or "useful 

working" values. Petzl measures luminous flux, 

lighting distance and burn time. 

Mechanical performance 

Strength 

The mechanical strength of headlamps is verified 

with fall, shock, and crushing tests. These tests are 

performed twice on the most fragile parts of the six 

faces of each product: lens, rotator dial, etc. 

They include: 

- fall tests: headlamps fall 10 m, 5 m, 2 m and 1 m 

- shock tests: tested with a weight of 500 g dropped 

from a 40 cm height 

- crushing test: a mass of 80 kg rolls over the lamp 

Luminous flux 

The lighting power, or luminous flux is the total 

quantity of light emitted in every direction from a 

source of light. Luminous flux is expressed in lumens 

(lm). This value is measured in the lab with the help 

of an integrated sphere device. 

Lighting distance 

According to Petzl's protocol, lighting distance 

corresponds to the distance to which a headlamp 

illuminates at 0.25 lux or more. 

Reliability 

Function tests verify the mechanical endurance of the 

moving parts of each product. Each function is tested 

with the help of a series of automatic tests in order 

to ensure their proper functioning and reliability over 

time: 

- selector dial 

- plate 

- battery pack 

A supplementary test subjects the headlamp to 

strong vibrations. 

Duration/burn time 

Burn time is measured on a testing platform 

equipped with a luxmeter. This device measures the 

brightness provided by the headlamp. 

The resulting burn time corresponds to useable 

lighting, i.e. the duration during which lighting 

remains stable. After that period, the user has reserve 

lighting that guarantees 0.25 lux (over a length of 

time that varies according to the model). 

Note: The threshold of 0.25 lux is measured at a 

distance of 2 meters (a minimum lighting level that 

corresponds to the light of a full moon). 

Also consult the "Constant lighting" section. 

Individual testing 

Before being removed from the assembly line, all 

Petzl headlamps are inspected individually. These 

operations include a measurement of lighting 

performance carried out with a specific digital 

camera, and a test for water-tightness. 

Any product that does not satisfy these tests is 

permanently removed from the production line and 

sent to Petzl's R&D department for evaluation. An 

in-depth analysis is performed in order to establish 

technical solutions for correction.

Environments and standards 

Explosive environments 

(ATEX and HAZLOC standards) 

126 

Source of 

combustion (flame, 

spark, hot spot) 

Oxygen in the air 

Fuel (gas or 

flammable vapor, 

dust) 

Under what conditions can an explosion occur? 

There is a risk of explosion when several elements are present: 

- an oxidant: the oxygen in air, for example 

- a fuel: 

. gas or vapors: hydrocarbons, solvents, varnishes, dilutants, gas, alcohol, dyes, 

perfumes, chemical products, agents for manufacture of plastics, etc. 

. powders and dust: magnesium, aluminum, sulfur, cellulose, cereals, carbon, 

wood, milk, resins, sugars, starch, polystyrenes, fertilizer, etc. 

- a hot spot or a source of combustion 

For example, when filling a grain silo, the concentration of dust is very high. 

The environment then is dangerous: a rise in temperature, or even a spark, 

can trigger an explosion. 

If a risk of explosion is identified in an environment (gas or dust), a safety 

requirement is imposed for the use of equipment that is specifically designed to 

function without becoming a potential source of combustion. This equipment 

offers different types of protection designed to diminish the risk of explosion. 

The ATEX standard 

What is the ATEX? 

The ATEX regulation is a European directive which requires all heads of 

organizations to fully understand the risks related to certain explosive 

environments. To do this, an evaluation of the risk of explosion in a company is 

required in order to identify any locations where explosive environments could 

form, and then to put in place the means to avoid explosion. 

How do you choose equipment that is adapted for an environment 

at risk of explosion? 

ATEX environments are subdivided into three zones: 

- zones 0, 1 or 2 for gases 

- zones 20, 21 or 22 for dust 

There are two groups of materials: 

- Group I: concerns mines (more restrictive) 

- Group II: concerns all above-ground industries 

For Group II (above-ground industries), a specifically adapted category of 

equipment is associated with each ATEX zone classification: 

Zone classification ATEX classification required for 

equipment 

(for Group II, above-ground 

industry) 

Zone 0 (gas) 

Zone 20 (dust) 

PERMANENT RISK 

Category 1 

VERY HIGH LEVEL OF 

PROTECTION 

The explosive mix is present constantly or for a long period of time 

Zone 1 (gas) 


FREQUENT RISK 

Category 2 

HIGH LEVEL OF PROTECTION 

An explosive mix may form under normal working conditions 

Zone 2 (gas) 


OCCASIONAL RISK 

Category 3 

NORMAL LEVEL OF PROTECTION 

An explosive mix has a small chance of forming and would exist only for a 

short period

What are the specific features of certified headlamps? 

Products classified into different groups may have different modes of protection 

against explosion. These modes are designed for the zone in which the equipment 

is to be used. For example: zones 1/21, zones 2/22. 

The more restrictive the mode of protection (zone 1/21, zone 0/20) is for a 

headlamp, the less powerful the lighting will be. The intensity and voltage that 

is permitted may be low in order to ensure that the device does not produce an 

arc, spark or dangerous temperature. 

How are the gases classified? 

The ATEX standard also has a classification for explosive gases against which the 

user can protect himself by using a product that has adapted protection. 

For Group II materials, the danger of gases covered by a product grows from 

subdivision IIA, the least dangerous, to subdivision IIC, the most dangerous. 

Some reference gases: 

- group I: methane 

- group IIA: propane 

- group IIB: ethylene 

- group IIC: hydrogen/acetylene 

For more information, please consult www.petzl.com/atex 

Temperature classes for gases and dust 

The exterior of a headlamp for use in hazardous locations must not present an 

external surface temperature that could provoke combustion. Different substances 

may combust at different temperatures. The lower the combustion temperature 

is, the more dangerous the substance is. Therefore, each piece of equipment 

used in an explosive environment is classified according to the maximal surface 

temperature it generates. 

There are six classes of temperatures, from T1 to T6. 

For more information, please consult www.petzl.com/atex 

What does the marking mean? 

All products designed for use in explosive zones have a specific marking on them. 

This marking contains all the information necessary to determine the zones in 

which the product may be used. 

Example of marking: 

CE 0081 

II 2 GD Ex nAnL IIB T4 

- CE: The equipment meets European standards for this product 

- 0081: Identification number of the notified body, when it intervenes in the 

inspection phase of production Here the number corresponds to the LCIE – Bureau 

Véritas. This number may also be 0080, for example for INERIS. 

- : Use authorized for explosive environments 

- II: Equipment group (I = mines, II = surface industries) 

- 2: Category of equipment (1 = permanent risk (Zones 0 and 20), 2 = frequent risk 

(Zones 1 and 21), 3 = occasional risk (Zones 2 and 22)) 

- GD: Type of fuel source: D = dust, G = gases and vapors 

- Ex: The product meets the Cenelec protection standards 

- nAnL: type of protection 

- IIB: Indicates the class of gases covered by the product 

- T4: Temperature class corresponding to a surface temperature

Environments and standards 

The HAZLOC standard 

What is the HAZLOC? 

The HAZLOC certification primarily concerns North America. It aims to control the 

risks related to explosion in certain environments. It comprises two elements: 

- testing and evaluation of products being used 

- inspection of the factory 

How do you choose equipment that is adapted for an environment at 

risk of explosion? 

Hazardous locations are classified in three ways under the HAZLOC standard: 

- by type 

- by conditions 

- by nature of the hazardous substance or material 

• Types of hazardous environments 

Hazardous environments are divided into three classes: 

- Class I: designates a space that has become dangerous because of the possible 

presence of certain gases or vapors in sufficient quantity to be potentially 

flammable or explosive. Examples: petroleum refineries, gas distribution zones, 

spray finishing zones, etc. 

- Class II: designates a space that has become dangerous because of the presence 

of flammable air-borne dust. Examples: grain silos, manufacturers of plastics, 

aluminum, pharmaceutical products and fireworks, etc. 

- Class III: designates a space in which airborne fibers and particles can 

accumulate around a machine or on lighting equipment and become ignited by 

heat, a spark or a hot metal. Examples: textile factories, flax processing plants, 

factories that produce wood shavings or flying particles, etc. 

• Conditions 

There are two types of conditions: 

- Division 1 (average conditions): the risk is present during regular production 

operations, or during ongoing repair or maintenance operations. 

- Division 2 (unusual conditions): the dangerous substance is only present in the 

case of an accidental break or defective functioning. 

• Nature of the hazardous substance or material 

The gases and vapors of Class I hazardous environments are divided into 

four groups: A, B, C and D (these substances are grouped according to their 

combustion temperature, their explosion pressure and other combustion 

characteristics). 

The dangerous substances of Class II hazardous environments are divided 

into three groups: E, F and G (these substances are grouped according to their 

combustion temperature and their conductivity). Conductivity relates particularly 

to metal dusts.

What are the specific features of certified headlamps? 

The more restrictive the mode of protection of a headlamp is, the less powerful the 

lighting will be. The intensity and voltage that is permitted may be low in order to 

ensure that the device does not produce an arc, spark or dangerous temperature. 

What does the marking mean? 

All products designed for use in explosive zones have a specific marking on them. 

This marking contains all the information necessary to determine the zones in 

which the product may be used. 

Example of marking: 

- the marking: FLASHLIGHT FOR USE IN HAZ. LOC. 

- marking details: CLASS I, DIV. 2 GROUPS C, D, CLASS II, DIV. 2 GROUP G 

Class I: gaseous environment: 

- Class I= gas 

- Class II = dust 

- Class III = fibers 

Div 2 = type of conditions: 

- Div 1: present under normal conditions 

- Div 2: present under abnormal conditions 

GROUPS C & D: corresponds to the classes of gas covered by the product 

Class II: dusty environment 

Div 2: present under abnormal conditions 

GROUP G: corresponds to the classes of dust covered by the product

Protection against solid objects and liquids 

The first number indicates protection against solid objects: 

X = Not measured — 

0 = Not protected — 

1 = Protected against solids ≥ 50 mm in diameter 

2 = Protected against solids ≥ 12.5 mm in diameter 

3 = Protected against solids ≥ 2.5 mm in diameter 

4 = Protected against solids ≥ 1 mm in diameter 

5 = Protected against dust (limited ingress, no harmful 

deposits) 

6 = Completely protected against dust 

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) 

The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) describes the ability of an electric device 

to work properly, independent of possible electromagnetic disturbances in the 

environment, and without producing its own. 

All Petzl headlamps conform to the requirements of the 89/366/CEE directive 

concerning electromagnetic compatibility: they will not interfere with any other 

CE-marked devices. 

The IP Protection Index 

The IP Protection Index is an international standard. This index classifies the level 

of protection offered by equipment against intrusions by solids (e.g. dust) and 

liquids (e.g. water, oil). 

How do you read the protection index? 

Example: IP 67 

The first number indicates protection against solid objects. 

The second number indicates protection against liquids. 

The IP 67 notation therefore corresponds to a completely dustproof product that is 

protected against the effects of immersion in liquid. 

Note: When a criterion has not been tested, the number is replaced by "X" 

(e.g., IP X6 indicates that the product has not been tested for solids). 

The second number indicates protection against liquids: 

X = Not measured — 

0 = Not protected — 

1 = Protected against vertically falling water drops 

2 = Protected against water drops (15° from vertical) 

3 = Protected against rain (60° from vertical) 

4 = Protected against sprayed water 

5 = Protected against jets of water 

6 = Protected against forceful hose-projected water 

7 = Temporary immersion (-1 meter for 30 minutes) 

8 = Prolonged immersion (deeper than 1 meter for period 

defined by manufacturer)

DUO headlamps are designed for professionals working in difficult 

conditions. These headlamps are waterproof. They are resistant 

to shock, abrasion, dirt and water. The design features of these 

headlamps make them a high-performance option for lighting. 

DUO headlamps have two light sources that can be oriented to 

provide long-range or close-range lighting, depending on the need. 

Hybrid lighting 

The two light sources provide versatile lighting adapted to most work 

situations: they allow close-range lighting with an LED light source, 

or long-range lighting with a halogen bulb or 1 W LED. 

Switch 

The on/off switch of the headlamp can be manipulated with one hand and 

can be locked by flipping the yellow lever to avoid accidentally turning on 

the lamp. 

Waterproof battery case 

Designed for demanding environments, DUO headlamps have a battery case 

that resists the most difficult conditions. The two metal hooks ensure that 

the lid locks perfectly and is waterproof to -5 meters.

ULTRA and ULTRA BELT headlamps are designed for the most 

demanding activities, requiring both powerful and wide lighting. 

These lamps have an exceptional weight to power ratio. The two 

versions allow the user to optimally reduce bulk (ULTRA) or weight 

carried on the head (ULTRA BELT), depending on need. 

Wide, ultra-high output beam 

ULTRA BELT and ULTRA headlamps project a wide, long-distance, perfectly 

uniform beam. 

Rotating selector dial 

The different lighting modes are easily selected with the rotating dial which 

is easily manipulated, even when wearing gloves. This dial also has a locked 

position to prevent inadvertently turning on the light, for example when it is 

being carried in a pack. 

Lithium ion rechargeable battery 

Lithium ion technology provides powerful, regulated lighting and limits the 

weight of the headlamp.

Training: an essential component 

The use of Petzl products demands technical knowledge and 

competence. This is why Petzl offers to take each user, or retailer, 

through a range of specialized workshops dedicated to vertical 

activities. 

With our structured training programs, Petzl offers modules 

designed for professionals working at height, rescue personnel, 

adventure park managers, as well as end-users. An international 

network of Petzl Training Partners is set up to provide these 

workshops. 

Petzl supports and runs training sessions in the field. 

Example: training for use of the EXO personal escape system for 

firefighters. 

For more information on training offered in your country, contact 

your Petzl distributor.

The Petzl Foundation 

Created in 2006, the Petzl Foundation’s mission is to offer 

support to non-profit organizations, especially in three 

areas: 

- promoting safety awareness 

- preserving the environment 

- supporting fundamental research 

Safety in the professional domain is considered one of 

the prime causes requiring support on a global scale. 

Relaying the values of the company, the objective of the 

Petzl Foundation is to reduce the gaps in safety that affect 

all professionals. 

Depending on the specific needs of each country, the 

Petzl Foundation proposes training programs, tools 

for teaching and training individuals about safety in 

collaboration with local associations or non-governmental 

organizations (NGOs).
