THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF USE OF PPE AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
- PPE shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
- PPE 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.
- PPE shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.
- PPE 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 PPE in which the safe function of any items is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
- Before each use of PPE 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.
- 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 take into consideration:
in full body harnesses and belts: buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;
in energy absorbers: attaching loops, webbing, seams, connectors;
in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines: rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element, splices;
in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines: cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting elements;
in retractable fall arresters: cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;
in guided type fall arresters: body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws, connector, energy absorber;
in connectors: main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting
- 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 reviews and for repair in language of the country in which the product is to be used.
- A full body harness conformed to EN 361 is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
- 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.
- PPE can be cleaned 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. Other maintenance and cleaning
procedures should be adhered to detailed instructions stated in the manual of the equipment.
- PPE must be transported in its original package.
- PPE must be stored in their original packaging, in a well-ventilated place, protected from direct light, ultraviolet degradation, damp environment,
sharp edges, extreme temperatures and corrosive substances.
- The PPE must be disposed of in compliance with the local regulations in force on this subject (dump, incinerator).
- In the case of manufacturing defects this PPE will be replaced.
