tions of the manufacturer and the
examination must be recorded on
the attached sheet. The frequency of
the examination must be increased in
accordance with regulations in case
of heavy usage or in difficult environ-
mental conditions. The legibility of the
product markings must be checked.
LIFE DURATION
The maximal life of PPE that is predo-
minantly metal is evaluated as being
unlimited but, however, this maximal
life is reduced to 10 years after the
date of manufacture for non-opening
products. However, there are factors
that can considerably reduce the
strength of the product and shorten
its life duration: incorrect storage, in-
correct use, fall arrest, mechanical de-
famation, product fall from a height,
wear, electric conductivity, contact
with chemical products (acids and
alkalis) or sharp edges, exposure to
strong sources of heat> 60°C, UVs,
abrasion, etc
ANCHORAGE POINT :
Choose, if possible, an anchorage
point that conforms to the standard
EN 795: that is to say elements fixed
to last, to a structure (wall, post...).
Check that the anchorage point :
has a resistance superior to 10 KN
is situated above the operator
(Picture1.7)
vertical to the work surface :
(angle maxi ±30°).
Suits at best the anchoring system
Does not present sharp edge.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Good maintenance and appropriate
storage of your PPE will prolong the
working-life of your product, while
guaranteeing your safety. Be sure to
comply with these recommendations:
The harness should be cleaned
with water and a mild soap. Never
use acid, solvents or anything
based on this.
Leave it to dry in a wellventilated
area, away from sources of heat.
Store the harness away from
humidity and ultraviolet light.
Lubrication: lubricate the moving
parts with a lubricant based on
silicone. Lubrication is carried out
8
after the cleaning and drying of
the product. Avoid contact with
textile parts.
Disinfection: immerse the mobile
fall arrester for one hour in a
solution of tepid water and a
disinfectant based on quarter-
nary ammonium salts. Rinse with
drinking water and wipe with a
clean cloth.
Storage: after cleaning, drying
and lubrication, store the
unpacked product in a dry and
cool place away from any sharp
objects and from any chemical or
corrosive products.
Preserve the mobile fall arrester and
its work positioning support away
from UV rays and direct or excessive
sources of heat,or excessively high re-
lative humidity or places where the sa-
line concentration is high. Avoid using
the product in a salty environment
and do not store it wet.
TRANSPORT
During transport, check that your PPE
is stored well away from any source of
heat, damp, corrosive atmosphere, ul-
traviolet rays, etc.
