Periodic Inspections - Kapriol Easy Instrucción E Información Del Fabricante

Before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of the
equipment, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is used.
After every12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to
carry out periodical detailed inspection. The periodic inspection must be carried out by a competent
person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out also by the manufacturer
or his authorized representative. In case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types
of retractable fall arresters the annual inspection can be carried out only by the manufacturer or his
authorized representative. Regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance
and the safety of the users which depends upon the continued efficiency and durability of the equip-
ment. during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking. it is
essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of desti-
nation the reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for
repair in language of the country in which the product is to be used. a full body harness (conforming
to EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used, in a fall arrest system. in full
body harness use only attaching points marked with a capital letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system.
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work
carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The
anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user . The shape and construction
of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the equipment. Minimal
static strength of the anchor device/point is 12 kN. It is recommended to use certified and marked
structural anchor point complied with EN795 it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath
the user at the workplace before each occasion of use the fall arrest system, so that, in the case of a
fall, there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of
the free space should be taken from instruction manual of used equipment. there are many hazards
that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have
to be observed during equipment utilization, especially: - trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines
over sharp edges, - any defects like cutting, abrasion, corrosion, - climatic exposure, - pendulum
falls, - extremes of temperature, - chemical reagents, - electrical conductivity. personal protective
equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-proof textile or foil bag
or cases made of steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture. the equipment can be
cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the manufacture of the equipment. For
textile products use mild detergents for delicate fabrics, wash by hand or in a machine and rinse in
water. Plastic parts can be cleaned only with water. When the equipment becomes wet, either from
being in use or when due cleaning, it shall be allowed to dry naturally, and shall be kept away from
direct heat. In metallic products some mechanic parts (spring, pin, hinge, etc.) can be regularly slightly
lubricated to ensure better operation. Other maintenance and cleaning procedures should be adhered
to detailed instructions stated in the manual of the equipment. personal protective equipment should
be stored loosely packed, in a well-ventilated place, protected from direct light, ultraviolet degradation,
damp environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances.
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS: After each 12 months of utilization the fall arrester must be withdrawn from
use to carry out manufacturer's detailed Inspection. The inspection must be carried out by the fall
arrester's manufacturer or his certified representative only. During this inspection will be established
admissible time of the fall arrester use till next manufacturer's inspection. The result of inspection
must be recorded in Identity Card.
