General Conditions Of Use - neofeu NABS300 Manual Del Usuario

354:2010 standard with the help of a connector compliant
with the EN362:2004 standard, with the aim of creating a sub-
assembly of the energy absorber with integrated lanyard. The
rules of connection to the safety harness and to the anchor point
are the same as previously mentioned.
HORIZONTAL USE :
- This fall arrester has been specially tested to ensure that it is
capable of arresting a person falling into empty space from a
horizontal plane.
- Various regulatory studies have shown that this fall arrester
can arrest a fall on an edge of a burr-free steel bar with a fillet
radius r = 0.5 mm (#7-13). Hence, this device can be used on
all equivalent edges (laminated steel profile, wooden beam,
rounded roof edge, etc.).
- If the risk assessment that is to be performed before starting
the works shows a risk of falling over a very sharp edge that is
not burred (e.g. an edge of broken glass, sheet metal cut with a
torch that has not been burred, etc.), the necessary measures
must be taken to make falling over this edge impossible or to
install an edge-protection. If you have any doubts, contact the
manufacturer..
- The anchor point of the integrated lanyard to an energy
absorber must not be located below the user. The angle of
deviation of the lanyard at the edge must be at least equal to
90° (#6-1).
- The space available below the edge, over which the fall can
occur, must correspond to the horizontal clearance (#4.2).
- The fall protection system must always be used in such a way
that there is never a curl in the lanyard. The free length of the
anchor line can be adjusted only if the user is not moving in the
direction of the edge.
- For attenuating the pendulum effect related to a fall, the work
space or authorised distance on both sides of the axis that is
perpendicular to the edge and passes through the fall arrester
anchor point shall be limited to 1,5 metres (#6-2). If this is not
possible, do not use this individual anchor point. Instead, use a
safety line or a horizontal rail corresponding to Types C or D of
the EN795 standard.
- If the fall arrester is combined with a type-C anchoring device with
a flexible lifeline in accordance with standard EN795, the space
available under the edge in case of a fall should also take the
deflection of the lifeline into account. The instructions mentioned
in the instructions for use of the lifeline must be followed.

- After a fall over an edge, there is a risk of injury while rescuing
the victim. Effectively, a suspended user can impact against the
structural elements or buildings.
- If there is a possibility of falling over an edge, special rescue
measures must be implemented.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF USE :

- A periodic inspection carried out by a competent inspector is
necessary to ensure the safety of the user, which is connected
to the maintenance of the effectiveness and resistance of the
equipment. A mandatory annual inspection will check the
condition of the equipment and it can only continue to be used
on obtaining a written agreement.
- Do not expose these products to temperatures less than -30°C
or more than +50°C.
- This equipment must not be used in any way contrary to these
specifications and under no circumstances should its limits be
exceeded.
- Storage: the product must be stored in a dry and well-ventilated
area, sheltered from any direct or indirect source of heat and
from ultra-violet rays. Drying wet equipment must be performed
in the same conditions.
- Cleaning and disinfection: exclusively with water and a neutral
soap.
- Packaging: use rot-proof and watertight protective packaging.
- Transport: packaged and sheltered from impacts or pressure
caused by the environment.
- The product must not be modified or repaired.
- Service life: NEOFEU fall-protection PPE are designed to last
for several years in normal conditions of use and preservation.
The service life depends on the use. Certain environments
that are particularly aggressive, marine, siliceous or chemical
can reduce the service life of PPE. In these cases, special care
must be taken regarding protection and the inspections before
use. The mandatory annual inspection will validate the correct
functioning of the mechanism and it can only continue to be
used on obtaining a written agreement from the manufacturer ,
its representative or a competent person.
As concerns what has been mentioned above, the rough
estimate of the service life of the products, as recommended by
NEOFEU, is ten (10) years.
- Ensure that the identification sheet and the maintenance
monitoring table is kept up to date from the time of the
commissioning and during each inspection.
- 10 Pictogram requesting to read the instructions before use.
- 11 Minimum clearance.
- 12 Maximum permitted rated load.
- 13 Pictogram indicating that the product has been tested in
the horizontal configuration (applicable only to compatible
references in horizontal configuration cf. #2).
- 14 Pictogram indicating not to load the integrated shock
absorber on edge (applicable only to compatible references
in horizontal configuration cf. #2).
