A PFPE must definitely be discarded:
• in case of damage to supporting parts, which are essential for safety, such as webbings and seams (tears, cuts or other)
• in case of damage to plastic and/or metal fittings
• in case of strain by a fall or heavy load
• after the application period has elapsed
• if a product does not seem safe or reliable anymore
• if the product is outdated and does not comply with the technical standards anymore (modification of legal regulations,
norms and technical rules, incompatibility with other equipment etc.)
• if the history of use is unknown or incomplete (test manual)
• if the identification of the product does not exist or if it is illegible or missing (even partly)
• if the instructions for use/test manual of the product are missing (because product history can not be tracked!)
• See also item: 2) Regulations for the owner of the equipment
If the visual inspection carried out by the user, holder of the equipment or the competent person results in complaint or if the PPE
has elapsed, it has to be discarded. The elimination has to be made in such a way that reuse in action can absolutely be excluded
(e.g. by cutting and disposing of belts, fittings etc.).
In case of frequent use, intensive wear or extreme environmental influences, the allowed period of use becomes shorter. The
decision on the operational capability of the device is up to the responsible COMPETENT PERSON within the prescribed periodic
inspection.
4 Liability (complementing point Caution)
Neither the A.HABERKORN & Co GmbH nor its sales partners assume any liability for accidents in relation to the present product
and consequential personal and/or material damage, especially in cases of misuse and/or incorrect use. In all cases the users are
responsible for risks taken.
5 Product-specific Safety Instructions
All A.HABERKORN products may only be combined with CE marked components of a PPE against falls.
This product is made of aramid yarn.
.
ATTENTION: The entire full body harness is made of aramid yarn (see item: 2.2 Care, storage and transport of the
PPE against falls from a height and item: 3. Period of use) and is flame resistant as an entire structure (EN
15025:2002 method A). Furthermore the full body harness was loaded according to EN ISO 6942 method A and ISO 9150
class A and subject to a drop test for its authorisation.
In practice make sure that the full body harness is protected from welding archs and metal splashes. In such
cases even single use can lead to an elimination of the product.
If combined with other equipment, it must be checked for flame resistance, since it may impede safe use (e.g.: fire fighting). Any
equipment which is not flame resistant (e.g.: lanyard EN354, etc. ...) can lead to failure of the system.
If flying sparks, direct exposure to flames and high ambient temperatures can be excluded during use, a combination with non flame
resistant equipment is admissible.
If it is not possible to store the instructions for use together with the product due to the special use of the product in the field of fire
fighting and the particular storage places in the fire fighting ambiance (in emergency vehicles), the instructions for use must be
referenced by an eventually allocated inventory number or by means of the serial number according to the product label. The
instructions for use must be stored, together with the integrated TEST SHEET, in a way that inspection by the user is possible at
anytime. Before using the product it must be evident to its user that the product has been inspected by a competent person (see
item 2.1 Periodic inspections) within the frame of the periodic inspection.
ARAX must not be combined with any other than CE-marked elements of personal fall protective equipment.
The full body harness ARAX is approved for use in the following systems according to EN 363:
-
restraint systems
-
work positioning systems
-
systems for rope assisted access
-
fall arrest systems
-
rescue systems
ARAX can be combined with equipment elements intended for the above systems. The combination and use with any equipment
element must be checked by the user before its first use.
A sit harness according to EN813 is not suitable for fall arrest purposes in fall
arrest systems according to EN363. A sit harness according to EN813 is only
suitable for fall arrest purposes if integrated into a full body harness
according to EN361.
The use of a full body safety harness in a fall arrest system is only allowed
with a shock absorber according to EN355, or a retractable type fall arrester
according to EN360.
Work positioning belts may not be used in a fall arrest system!
A restraint system is not intended to catch falls!
According to BMASK-461.309/0006-VII/A/2/2011 depending on the duration of the work, additional seating boards and working
seats must be used:
➢
Up to a working time (between two breaks or changes of activity) of maximum 30 minutes, a suitable harness with an
integrated sit harness according to EN813 is adequate.
➢
With working times of more than 30 minutes up to 4 hours in addition to the full body safety harness with integrated sit harness
according to EN813, a seating board must be used.
➢
With working times of more than 4 hours, a working seat with lumbar support and the possibility of leg relief must be used in
