3.2 Compatibility of Connectors
Connectors used to connect components in the system must be compatible with each other to ensure
sufficient strength and eliminate the risk of accidental disengagement or rollout during use. Connectors
EN
supplied with products designed, manufactured, and/or approved by Skylotec GmbH will meet all
applicable requirements for connectors. Any connectors not supplied by Skylotec GmbH MUST BE
selected and approved by a Qualified Person.
3.3 Full Body Harness
Use only a full body harness designed, tested, and approved for fall arrest when connecting a person to
this winch. Body belts or straps do not provide adequate support to the body to prevent serious injury or
death in the event of a fall.
3.4 Fall Protection
Activities involving working at heights require the use of equipment to protect the worker in the event of a
fall. Suitable fall protection must be provided as required by applicable local regulations when using the
Tripod.
3.5 Confined Space Safety
When the Tripod is used as part of a system involving work in a confined space, always follow an approved
confined space safety plan meeting all local regulations.
3.6 Swing Angle
Care must be taken at all times to minimize the potential for swing fall when working at heights. At
no time should the angle of a winch or SRL line exceed 5 degrees with respect to the vertical (see
Figure 2).
