Special Applications; Definitions And Pictograms - Tractel tempo 2 Manual De Empleo Y De Mantenimiento

17. It is recommended that a tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline
be personally allocated to a designated user,
especially when the user is an employee.
18. Any tensioner (T), or anchor line (L) permanently
removed from use must be destroyed or made
permanently unavailable, to prevent use by mistake.
19. For security reasons, it is important to ensure
that the device or the anchoring point is always
positioned correctly, and that the work is carried out
with the aim of reducing, as far as possible, any risk
of fall and the height of the fall.
20. For security reasons, it is essential to verify, prior to
each use, the space required beneath the operator
at the workplace to avoid the presence of any
object in the zone of a possible fall and to avoid any
collision with the ground.
21. Never use the tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline if any one
of its elements is damaged or if it risks deteriorating
the safety function of the device. When setting up,
it is essential to ensure that no deterioration of the
safety functions occurs.
22. The user(s) should be fit and healthy, both
physically and mentally, when using the equipment.
Should there be any doubt, it is advisable to consult
a doctor. The tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline must not be
used by pregnant women.
23. The equipment should not be used above its limits,
or in any other situation than the one intended (see
«Conditions of use» chapter).
24. Should the tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline be sold to
another country than its original destination, it is
essential, for the safety of the operator, that the
supplier provide all the operating and maintenance
instructions, the instructions for periodic inspections
and repair, in the language of the country of use.
25. Prior to using the tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline, it is
essential that the allocated user, or the authority
in charge of his/her safety, shall have verified that
the solidity of the anchor line (L) fastenings is in
conformity with the rules and standards in force.
26. During use, you must check the adjustment and
fastening parts ; also check that the equipment
cannot be damaged by: sharp edges, friction,
sources of heat...
27. When installing the tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline, the
installer must take all the necessary steps to secure
himself from any risk of fall.
28. If the lifeline is intended to arrest the fall of an
operator, the operator must use a fall arrest system
compliant with EN 363. This system should ensure
a fall arrest force of less than 6 kN. If the lifeline
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 lifeline will be qualified as «restricted
access».
29. As each lifeline system constitutes a specific case,
any installation of a tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline must
be preceded by a specific technical study for its
implementation, to be carried out by a competent
specialised technician. This study should take
into account the configuration of the implantation
site and must verify the appropriateness and
mechanical strength of the structure to which the
tempo 2 / tempo 3 lifeline will be secured.
30. The temporary lifeline is used only for personal fall
protection equipment and not for lifting equipment.
CAUTION
Before and during use, you must always have a
rescue procedure in mind to be adopted to ensure
an efficient, safe rescue operation if necessary.
