Pre-Use Checks - MSA Latchways GTFA Instrucciones Para El Usuario

5 Latchways VLL types
Latchways VLLs may be designed either with or without integral
energy absorption. It is therefore essential that the User ensures
that the individual device is compatible with the system (Table 1).
If there is no system energy absorption then only devices that
include an energy absorber shall be used.

6 Pre-use checks

Always fully inspect the following before each use:
System tension Ensure the system indicator provided is correct:
Tenser disk (Figure 2) – Only use the system if the Tenser disk
freely rotates.
Visual tension indicator (Figure 3) – This component allows the
User to check the system tension in situations where it is impractical
to reach a tension indicator disc from a position of safety.
VLL system label - Check the product label, all regulatory
information (installation date, ID, max. users, system type and
inspection date) shall be clearly legible.
Complete the Latchways GTFA Pre use checks in accordance
with Table 2.
Inspect the system for any excessive wear, damage or corrosion
and evidence that it is within its service life. Ensure that the device
is compatible with the system and sufficient energy absorption is
provided (p 118- Latchways VLL system label).
If the Latchways GTFA does not pass any of the pre-use
checks, it shall be immediately withdrawn from service. This
shall be recorded on the record card and the device passed to a
