THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE AND RESCUE EQUIPMENT
! 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.
! 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 in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper
acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;
! 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.
! 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 personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe use and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.
! a full body harness conformed 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 big 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 user . The
shape and construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the equipment. 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 and desinfected 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.
! 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.
