Die persönliche Schutzausrüstung gegen Absturz ist unverzüglich nach einer Belastung wie zum Beispiel nach einem
Sturz auszuscheiden und darf in keinerlei Weise weiter verwendet werden.
Die persönliche Schutzausrüstung gegen Absturz ist in der Verwendung vor jeder möglichen Art der Beschädigung
zu schützen (z.B.: scharfe Kanten, raue Oberflächen, abstehende scharfe Teile). Siehe auch unter Punkt: 2) Bestimmungen für
den Gerätehalter.
Der Haltegurt darf nur für die vorgesehene Verwendung und unter den beschriebenen Einsatzbedingungen eingesetzt werden. Der
Haltegurt darf nur mit geprüften und zugelassenen Komponenten verwendet werden. Hierbei ist die Verwendung nach EN 358:2000
zulässig mit:
-
Rückhaltesysteme und Haltesysteme wie in EN 358:2000 und EN 363:2008 beschrieben
-
Verbindungsmittel nach EN 354:2010
-
Verbindungselemente nach EN 362:2009
Die Verwendung als Haltegurt soll den Benützer davon abhalten Bereiche mit Absturzgefahr zu erreichen bzw. durch ein hineinlehnen
in das System eine Arbeitsposition einzunehmen, bei der ein freier Fall verhindert wird.
Ein Rückhaltesystem ist nicht dafür Vorgesehen Stürze aufzufangen.
Achten Sie insbesondere darauf, dass keine scharfen Kanten das Anschlagmittel bzw. Verbindungsmittel gefährden, sowie auf den
sicheren Verschluss sämtlicher Verbindungselemente (z.B. Karabiner).
Die Länge ist so einzustellen, dass das Erreichen einer absturzgefährdeten Stelle VERHINDERT wird. Bei der Verwendung als
Arbeitsplatzpositionierungssystem (z.B. Umschlingung von Masten od. Leitern) ist darauf zu achten, dass ein freier Fall auf höchstens
0,5 m begrenzt wird.
Ein Übersteigen des Anschlagpunktes = Halteösen oberhalb des Anschlagpunktes ist absolut zu vermeiden. Da bei einem Sturz die
auf den Körper wirksam werdenden Kräfte deutlich über das für den Körper verträgliche Maß ansteigen.
The PFPE products have been manufactured and checked with a great deal of care and under very rigorous quality criteria. So the
requirements for safe use have been observed. Now it is up to you to use the product in the CORRECT way.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME!
with the product, so you will be able to refer to them in case of problems and fill in the TEST SHEET (occupational safety document)
carefully. In case of necessary repair or complaints it is absolutely essential to send us this test sheet together with the product.

Safety notes
Please observe the safety regulations!
Personal fall protective equipment must be used for work under risk of a fall from a height, if it is not possible to take adequate
organisational or technical protective measures. Collective protective equipment and technical tools are preferable.
All national and local safety regulations as well as the accident prevention regulations must be observed.
This PFPE may be used only by people who have the physical and mental capabilities as well as the necessary knowledge for safe
use. This PFPE does not release the users from their own personal risk and responsibility. A PFPE should be put at the disposal of
one individual user!
The systems may only be used for their intended use - they must not be altered! It is forbidden to use any equipment for leisure activities
(e.g. alpine sports, sport climbing, etc.) which is not approved for use at a work place. Note that the combination of equipment elements
leads to a risk of mutual interference. When equipment elements are combined, the user must test the safety of use before using for
the first time. A combination of incompatible equipment elements may lead to unforeseen risks.
Caution:
(complementing point 4, liability)
Everybody using this product is personally responsible for learning the correct use and technique. Every user takes and accepts
completely full liability and all risks for any kind of damage and injuries, which result during and by the use of the product. The
manufacturer and specialist shops do not accept any liability in case of misuse and incorrect use and/or handling. These regulations
are helpful for the correct use of the product. As it is not possible to list all kinds of incorrect use, it does not replace one's own
knowledge, training, experience and own responsibility.
A rescue concept for rapid intervention in cases of emergency has to be drawn up!
Before using a PFPE, users must acquaint themselves with the possibilities for carrying out rescue measures safely and efficiently. The
users must be trained on the risks, possibilities for avoiding risks and the safe procedure of rescue and emergency measures. All
necessary rescue measures must be specified during a hazard analysis before using the PPE against falls from a height. An emergency
plan must consider the rescue measures for all possible cases of emergency during work! This means that a hazard analysis for the
particular intended use of a PPE against falls from a height and consequently a rescue plan, which describes the fastest possible
rescue action and includes all necessary equipment and procedures for rescue, must always be drawn up.
for an eventual rescue must always be arranged and ready for immediate use. Otherwise a suspension trauma
may result!
The medical description of the consequences of a suspension trauma explains:
•
after approx. 2 - 5 min. the casualty becomes incapable of taking action
•
after 10 - 20 min. only irreversible physical injury is possible and
•
subsequently life-threatening conditions are to be expected.
For this reason, rescue measures must be carried out immediately!
If the person to be rescued is conscious, it is important that he/she moves his/her legs. If possible lift the body with the help of suitable
equipment (e.g.: tape slings, lanyards, suspension trauma relief loops, etc.) from the tensioned full body harness in order to relieve the
pressure of the leg loops to the inner thighs. This can reduce or avoid the pooling of blood in the legs and facilitate its backflow.
Note on anchor devices!
•
Generally, an anchor device from which the equipment is fixed to, should, when possible, be "vertically" above the user (in order to
prevent swinging in case of a fall from a height).
•
The position of the anchor point should always be chosen in a way that the fall distance is limited to a minimum.
•
Take care that the fall zone is calculated so that the user does not fall onto an obstacle in case of a fall from a height and that impact
on the ground is avoided.
