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 emer-ging 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 clim-bing 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 busine-ss activities in Czech Republic as well as abroad. Together, we supported a plethora of climbing talent, climbing expe-ditions 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 ex-port-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 pro-ducts are guided by the motto, “functional design,” which expresses our commitment to the highest level of functio-nality, 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 produ-cts, we are pleased to present you with this catalogue, our first catalogue devoted exclusively to ROCK EMPIRE® perso-nal protection equipment for use when working at heights.

Keylock

Keylock is a design for the area where the body of the carabiner meets the gate and locks. The result is a shape that never catches on slings, ropes or harnesses when you handle the carabiner. The keylock symbol is shown by carabiners that offer this special locking design.

XXL MULTI-USE Anti Slip

ROCK EMPIRE is pleased to introduce a multi-functional rubber Anti Slip protector for work harnesses and lanyards.

QB Buckle

This very lightweight clip allows for easy movement and handling of the straps. Thread the strap through the buckle as shown in the picture. Loosening the strap is easily done by turning the qB buckle. The buckle is designed for straps with a width of 45 mm and operates reliably in wet or freezing conditions.

Automatic Fast Release Buckles

ROCK EMPIRE offers automatic fast release buckles, which serve you well whether you need to put on the harness with one hand in the shortest time possible or remove it quickly. The buckles come in black and are designed to fit straps with a width of 45 mm. Solid and strong to a weight of 15 kN.

Anti Slip

Anti Slip rubber strap protector manufactured by ROCK EMPIRE in several sizes according to the width of the sling or strap. They hold carabiners in the correct position and protect the strap from extra abrasion.

Carabiners are the most used parts in personal protection equipment. They play a vital role in protecting professi-onals 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.

Information

strength

LONGITUDINAL STRENGTH 28 kN)

TRANSVERSE STRENGTH (18 kN)

STRENGTH WITH GATE OPEN (10 kN)

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.

Unique Identification Number

Each carabiner has its own unique identification number within each manufacturing order. This number will improve registration and review of metal products during regular inspection checks.

Rope Marker /ZPM001/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.

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.

Open Sling 20mm PA Work

ROCK EMPIRE now offers a new work sling with black webbing on the surface and red fibers inside. Once the red fibers are visible, it is a signal that the sling was damaged and is not suitable for further use.

Another new feature is a unique identification number used on ROCK EMPIRE work harnesses and slings. This number helps to better track the use and to facilitate the monitoring of textile products during regular inspections, see page 4.

m

The maximum total length of the connecting devices together with the absorber and connectors must not exceed length of 2 m.

The minimum safety height during use of connecting devices is about 2 m.

Absorber can extend after the fall up to 1.4 meters.

The distance between feet and the point for fall arrest harness is 1.5 m.

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

The fall factor expresses the proportional severity of the fall. It is the ratio of the vertical drop to the active length of rope, which is available to absorb the impact force of falling.

FALL FACTOR

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.

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.

FALL ABSORBERS

Webbing fall arrest energy absorber. Can be used together with a max 2 m long sling according to norms, EN 354 and EN 355. May also be positioned between the interlocking anchor and rope.

In order to facilitate better training for workers working at heights, ROCK EMPIRE built a Vertical Training Center. The Cen-ter offers inside training during the winter

months in a heated facility. With this facility, trainees can focus on practical application of theories in com-fort. The Vertical Training Center also offers classroom space suitable for presenting training material.

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.

ROOFS

Using a dynamic rope to exit a steel truss structure using climbing equipment is permitted. If other ways of ascent and descent are used, a fall absorber should be incorporated.

Originally, arboricultural techniques were used by workers at heights in situations where there was no other safe descent. These techniques mainly include creating a securing point and positioning the rope by using a throw bag.

ARBORICULTURE

During ascent / descent, a two-rope technique is used. On the backup rope it is necessary to use both a descender and fall energy absorber.

ASCENT / DESCENT

Specialized rescue teams using specialized techniques perform various types of rescue, such as the evacuation of the cable cars.

RESCUE

ascent descent

installation of access ropes from the ground procedure for removing an anchor point
