of a fall.

harness that may be used in a fall-arrest system

carried out so as to minimise the risk of falls.
18. For the operator's safety, if the product is re-
sold outside the initial destination country, the
distributor must supply: an instruction manual and
maintenance instructions for periodic inspections
and repairs, all compiled in the language of the
product's country of use.
