ATTENTION: The harness maximum lifetime depends on the intensity of usage and the environment of usage. Using the
harness in rough environment, marine environment, contact with sharp edges, exposure to extreme temperatures or
aggressive substances, etc. can lead to the withdrawal from use even after one use.
K.
WITHDRAWAL FROM USE
The harness must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed when it has been used to arrest a fall or it fails to
pass inspection or there are any doubt as to its reliability.
L
THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USERS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AGAINST FALLS
FROM A HEIGHT:
personal protective equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
!
personal protective equipment must not be used by a person with medical condition that could affect the safety of
!
the equipment user in normal and emergency use.
a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
!
being suspended in PPE (e.g. arresting a fall), beware of suspension trauma symptoms.
!
to avoid symptoms of suspension trauma, be sure that the proper rescue plan is ready for use. It is
!
recommended to use foot straps.
it is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written
!
consent.
any repair shall only be carried out by equipment manufacturer or his certified representative.
!
personal protective equipment shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for
!
which it is intended.
personal protective equipment should be a personal issue item.
!
before use ensure about the compatibility of items of equipment assembled into a fall arrest system. Periodically
!
check connecting and adjusting of the equipment components to avoid accidental loosening or disconnecting of the
components.
it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by
!
or interferes with the safe function of another.
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.
during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any damages,
!
excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting, especially take into consideration:
-
in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;
-
in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors;
-
in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element, splices;
-
in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting
elements;
-
in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber,
connector;
-
in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws,
connector, energy absorber;
-
in metalic components (connectors, hooks, anchors) - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting.
after every 12 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 equipment.
during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking. Don't use the
!
equipment with the illegible marking.
it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination 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.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition
!
for safe use and not used again until confirmed in writing by equipment manufacturer or his representative after carried
out the detailed inspection.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed (or another procedures
!
shall be introduced according detailed instruction from equipment manual) when it have been used to arrest a fall.
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 attachment 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. For energy absorbers use only a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. It's forbidden to immerse energy absorbers into
the 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.
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.
Using the harness in connection with personal protective equipment agains falls from a height must be compatible
!
with manual instructions of this equipment and obligatory standards:
- EN353-1, EN353-2, EN355, EN354, EN360 - for the fall arrest systems;
- EN362 - for the connectors;
- EN1496, EN341 - for rescue devices;
- EN795 - for anchor devices.
