To be used in combination
1.) Information – read carefully
The manual (1.1 "General instructions", 1.2 "Product-specific
instructions") must be available in the national language at all times.
If not available, then the vendor has to resolve this matter with
SKYLOTEC prior to sale. The instructions must be made available
to the user. The equipment may only be used by professional users
who are in good condition, both mentally and physically, who have
received training in its safe usage and who possess the required
knowledge, or are acting under the supervision of such persons.
A rescue plan must be available for any eventuality. It must be
possible to implement rescue measures in a timely manner.
2.) Fall-arrest system
A fall-arrest system consists of the illustrated individual components
and may only be used with tested and approved components under
the described application conditions; failure to comply represents
a risk of serious or fatal injury... Only one harness is allowed to be
used in the fall-arrest system (with fall arresting eyelet marked
"A"). Anchoring points should be select / position directly above the
user, if possible. Restrict the falling height to a minimum distance.
The anchor point must meet the requirements for the scope of
application (Abb. 1+2). Also, the substructure to which the anchoring
device is fastened, and the connecting elements have to be able to
withstand the load. A shock absorbing element must be used which
limits the force to which on the user is exposed in the event of a
fall to the maximum arresting force permitted according to national
regulations, for example in Europe this is 6 kN (EN 355). For more
information on this, see the instructions for using of the individual
components.
3.) Prior to use
Prior to each use, it has to be ensured that the clearance beneath
the user is sufficient, so that in case of a fall, there will be no impact
with the ground, objects, or equipment below.
3.1.) Check the complete personal protective equipment (PPE) and
its individual components for damage, cracks or wear (including
snaphooks, straps, textile and metal components, adjusting devices,
locks); complete function must be assured. If unsure the component
