1. Key guidelines

1. The travrail rails are designed to control serious
risks of people falling. Before using the product, it
is essential for the safe use of the equipment and
its efficiency that the supervisor and the operator
read and understand the information in this manual
provided by Tractel . This manual must be kept
®
available to all operators. Additional copies can be
supplied by Tractel on request.
®
2. This manual must be delivered to the operator of
the rail and be kept available to any operator and
installer. Additional copies may be provided by
Tractel on request.
3. Using a travrail rail requires that you also use and
connect fall arresting personal protective equipment
(PPE) including, for each operator, at least one
complete fall arrest harness, and resources for
hooking up and connection. This assembly should
constitute a system to prevent or stop any fall
from height within conditions that comply with the
applicable regulations and safety standards.
4. If the rail is destined to arrest the fall of an operator,
the operator must use a fall arrest system that
complies with EN 363. This system must guarantee
a fall arrest effort of less than 6 kN. If the rail is
destined exclusively to limit the movement of
the operator outside the areas of risk of falling,
the operator can connect using a lanyard without
fall arrest system in compliance with EN 363. In
this case, the rail will be described as "restricted
access".
5. The information plate (see section 6.9), which
must be affixed by law, must be kept fully legible
throughout the lifespan of the rail. Additional copies
may be provided by Cha on request.
6. Each operator who must use a travrail rail must meet
the physical fitness and professional prerequisites
for working at height. If in doubt, consult your doctor
or the occupational physician. Operators must have
received appropriate prior theoretical training and
practice in risk-free conditions, using the PPE in
accordance with safety requirements. This training
should include comprehensive information on the
chapters of this manual concerning the use of this
device. Use is prohibited for pregnant women.
7. As each rail system constitutes a specific case,
any installation of a travrail rail must be preceded
by a specific technical study, to be performed by
the engineer, including the necessary calculations
based on the specifications and this manual. This
study must take into account the layout of the
installation site, including a check of the suitability
and mechanical strength of the structure to which
the travrail rail will be affixed. This must be integrated
into a usable technical file by the installer.
