- The recommendations for use with other components must be followed: All oth-
er components in the fall restraint system must be certified and meet the re-
quirements of the corresponding standards for personal protective equipment.
- Combinations of equipment parts that negatively affect the safe and reliable
functioning of a piece of the equipment or the equipment as a whole endanger
the user!
- The max. permissible loads for the components making up the fall arrest system
[e.g. belt fall cushioner, travelling fall arrester, height restraint device,...] must
be observed.
- The components used in the PPE system [e.g. lanyard] must be suitable for the
operation [heat, chemicals etc.].
- The PPE system for protection against falls from a height is not designed for di-
rect exposure to flames [the influence of heat].
- After a fall, the supply of breathable air by the system may be impaired.
- After contact with hot parts, the protective effect against falls from a height may
be impaired.
- If the harness is used to rescue the wearer [in accordance with EN 1497, Use
of the front or rear arrester eyelet], potential hazards [e.g. snagging of the un-
conscious person on obstacles etc.] are to be noted and evaluated accordingly.
- Before using the harness, it is to be examined for any effects which could result
in damage to the harness [e.g. direct contact with hot parts, chemicals, gas-
es,....] or impair the safety of the user and any appropriate protective measures
should be taken.
- After exposure to chemical contamination, the PPE may only be reused for pro-
tection against falls from a height once it has been examined to ensure it is safe
for use [the textile materials used in the harness are polyester and polyamide].
The specifications of a resistance list are to be taken into account and the ex-
amination is to be conducted by a suitably qualified person [chemist].
- Any changes or adaptations to the product by the user which are not intended
