anchoring points (equipment) of fall preventive systems should have stable structure and their position should reduce the possibility of falling and
!
minimise the range of a free fall. The equipment anchoring point should be located above the users work position. The shape and structure of the
equipment anchoring point must provide a durable connection and prevent any random disconnection. It is recommended to use certified and
marked equipment anchoring points in accordance with EN 795.
! it is required to inspect the free space under the work-place on which individual fall preventive equipment is going to be used in order to eliminate
the possibility of hitting any objects or lower planes while stopping a fall. The amount of free space under the work-place is specified in the
operational instructions of the protective equipment to be used.
! while using the device, pay special attention to hazardous situations which may influence equipment operation and the safety of users, including in
particular:
- kinking and rubbing of lanyards on sharp edges;
- pendulum falls;
- current conductivity;
- any damage such as cuts, wear, corrosion;
- extreme temperature impact;
- negative impact of weather conditions;
- impact of aggressive substances, chemicals, solvents, acids.
! personal protective equipment must be transported in packaging which protects it against damage or water, for example in bags made of
impregnated material or in steel or plastic containers or boxes.
! personal protective equipment must be cleaned and disinfected in order to avoid damaging the material (raw material) it is made of. Clean textile
materials (slings, lanyards) with cleaning agents intended for soft materials. It can be cleaned manually or washed in machines. It must be carefully
rinsed. Plastic elements can only be cleaned with water. Equipment which becomes wet during cleaning or while in operation must be carefully
dried in natural conditions, away from heat sources. Metal parts and mechanisms (springs, hinges, catches etc.) can be periodically greased in
order to improve their operation.
! personal protective equipment should be stored in loose packaging in well-ventilated dry rooms and protected against the impact of light, UV
radiation, dust, sharp objects, extreme temperatures and caustic substances.
The company where equipment is stored is responsible for making entries in the Operation Sheet. The Operation Sheet should be completed before the
equipment is first put into operation. All information concerning protective equipment (name, serial number, date of purchase and date of putting into
operation, user name, information concerning repairs and inspections and withdrawal from use) must be included in the Operation Sheet of a particular
device. The sheet is completed by the person responsible for safety equipment in a given place of work. Equipment without a properly completed Operation
Sheet cannot be used.

Depending upon the type and environment of work, inspections may be needed to be carried out more frequently than once every 12 months. Every
periodic inspection must be recorded in the Identity Card of the equipment.
Maximum lifespan of the equipment
The maximum lifespan of the lanyard is 10 years from the date of manufacture. The lanyard must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed when
it has been used to arrest a fall or it fails to pass inspection or there are any doubt as to its reliability.
ATTENTION: The lanyard maximum lifetime depends on the intensity of usage and the environment of usage. Using the lanyard in rough environment,
marine environment, contact with sharp edges, exposure to extreme temperatures or agressive substances, etc. can lead to the wthdrawal from use even
after one use.
