the work carried out in such a way as to minimize both the potential for falls and
the potential fall distance. Verify the free space required beneath the user at the
workplace before each occasion of use, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be
no collision with the ground or the other obstacle in the fall path. A full-body
harness is the only acceptable body-holding device that can be used in a fall arrest
system. The product should only be used as instructed and no alterations should
be made to it. It may be used in conjunction with any appropriate items of suitable
specification and according to the ANSI standards, with due consideration to the
limitations of each piece of equipment. This leaflet shows examples of improper
utilization of this product. Note that it is impossible to show or imagine all improper
utilization and that this product should be used only in the way specified by the
manufacturer in this leaflet. If possible this product should be treated as personal.
If used by multiple individuals, these instructions must be available for consultation
and must be respected by all users.
Fall Factor is a rating used to evaluate the danger of specific scenarios when
working at heights calculated using the following equation: Fall Factor = Height of
Fall /Length of Lanyard. In situations where the Fall Factor will be 0 (e.g. the
worker is positioned under the anchor point on a tensioned lanyard) or in situations
where the Fall Factor is 1 or less, positioning/restraint equipment is adequate. Fall
arrest equipment must be used for other situations where the Fall Factor is greater
than 1 or more freedom of movement is required. Always keep the rope under
tension and avoid creating slack. When using a work positioning system, the user
relies on the equipment for his or her support. Assessing the need for a second fall
arresting safety system is essential. All the lanyards, even those made of metal
cable, are not indestructible and can be cut by sharp tools (i.e. chain-saw, etc.);l
therefore always use a backup line during cutting activities. The anchor point must
be in compliance with the EN795 standard and/or known to have a resistance of
12 KN (metal anchors) or 18 KN (fabric anchors). The anchoring point must be at
or above waist level. Connections to the harness and to the structural anchor point
must be made with EN 362 connectors. Gloves are recommended to avoid burns
from sliding along the cable. Use adequate rescue equipment and provide
adequate training for the work crew so that they can quickly rescue the injured
person to minimize the suspension trauma effects.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of the textile and plastic parts: rinse in clean water and neutral soap (max
temperature 30C) and dry naturally away from direct heat. Cleaning of the metallic
parts: rinse in clean water and then dry. Temperature: Always keep this product
below 80C so as not to affect the performance of the product. Chemicals: withdraw
the product from service if it comes into contact with chemical reagents, solvents
or fuels which could affect the performance of the product. Dirt that cannot be
removed: spots of unknown origin that cannot be removed should be considered
chemical contamination and therefore require that the product be disposed of.
