The equipment anchor point shall be located above the user's work station. The
shape and design of the equipment anchor point must provide a permanent
connection for the equipment and must not result in accidental or spontaneous
disconnection. The use of certified and marked equipment anchor points is
recommended. There should be no obstruction between the anchor point and the
user's position.
27) Checking the clearance under the work station where fall protection equipment will
be used to avoid hitting objects or a lower plane during fall arrest (minimum 3
meters of clearance) is mandatory.
28) When using the equipment, pay particular attention to dangerous phenomena
affecting the operation of the equipment and the safety of the user, in particular:
looping and sliding of ropes on sharp edges, swinging falls, current conduction, any
damage such as cuts, abrasions, corrosion, exposure to extreme temperatures,
negative effects of climatic factors; exposure to caustic substances, chemicals,
solvents or acids.
29) Before each use, the person who intends to use the device should carry out a
thorough visual inspection of the components of the mechanism: housing, safety
hook, handle, and rope along the entire length for mechanical, chemical and heat
damage. The user should check the operation of the unwinding mechanism by
dynamically pulling the working rope. The rope should be locked without being
pulled out. After releasing the rope, the unwinding mechanism should retract the
rope. The inspection should be carried out by the operator of the machine. If there
is any damage or doubt about the proper condition of the device, do not use it.
30) During use, the device should be protected against contact with oils, acids, solvents,
alkalis, open flames, metal spatter and sharp edges. Avoid using the device in dusty
and greasy environments.
31) When working on building structures, avoid situations in which the rope will move
between individual structural elements.
32) The device provides protection for one person only!
33) Personal protective equipment is personal equipment and should only be used by
one person.
34) A rescue plan must be prepared which can be used if necessary.
35) The use of protective equipment sets in which the functioning of any component of
the equipment is impaired by the functioning of another is forbidden.
36) A periodic inspection must be performed every 12 months. Regular periodic
inspections are essential for the condition of the equipment and the safety of the
user, which depends on the full performance and durability of the equipment.
37) Do not use the device in a horizontal position.
38) If the rope gets wet during use or cleaning, allow it to dry naturally before using it
again.
39) Do not use other (additional) anti-fall straps when using the machine.
40) When using the device, pay special attention to the fact that the rope is not placed
between the legs or under the arms of the user. The rope should not be twisted or
have knots.
