Regular inspections (revision)
The FABA™ fall prevention device,
depending on the working conditions
and how often it is used, must be checked
out by an authorised PSA specialist to
ensure that it is in the correct working
state as necessary or at least once every
12 months. These inspections must be
recorded in the inspection logbook, which
must be kept with the fall prevention
device.
Implementation
You are allowed to use the FABA-
STOP
Grip fall prevention device with
the following FABA™ climbing
protection systems: A12, AL2, AL2-Mobil,
AL2-Mobil F.
You are not allowed to use an extra
STOP
safety line or an extension instead
of the existing connection between
the FABA™ fall prevention device and
the harness! This also applies to horizontal
sections!
1. The FABA-Grip prevention device and
the A12 and AL2 systems are asymmetri-
cally designed. This asymmetry prevents
the fall prevention device from being used
incorrectly.
2. The FABA-Grip fall prevention device
must be attached at the entry and exit points in
the climbing protection rail so that the arrow
on the device always points upwards. Never
force the fall prevention device into the rail!
3. Move the FABA-Grip fall prevention
device slightly upwards and downwards to
ensure that it can move freely and that it also
locks into place correctly.
4. Hang and lock the FABA-Grip fall pre-
vention device's snap-hook into the sternal
front side fall protection fastening point on
the harness (A = sternal attachement point,
admissible fastening point on the harness).
