SAFETY REGULATIONS
There is a risk to life if these safety instructions
are not observed!
• The personal protective equipment (PPE) may
no longer be used even in the case of very
minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed or dubious personal
protective equipment or safety devices must
be immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an ex-
pert in compliance with DGUV (German Social
Accident Insurance) principle -, by
BORNACK or by a workshop authorised in
writing by BORNACK. This must be document-
ed in the test card.
• Independent modifications or repairs are not
allowed.
• Rope protection is part of the personal fall
prevention equipment and should be as-
signed to a specific person.
• The personal protective equipment may only
be used by qualified staff that are familiar
with the material. They must be proficient in
handling the personal protective equipment
and must have been briefed about the possi-
ble risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), the users of personal pro-
tective equipment against falls (Category III)
must attend a theoretical training course and
a practical training course. Make use of the
training competence of the BORNACK training
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy.
• Health impairments can jeopardise the safety
of the user when working at heights or
depths.
• Protect personal protective equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
eects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils, etc.) and mechanical eects (e.g.
sharp edges).
• Before starting work, the responsible person
must draw up a plan of rescue measures that
defines how to rescue casualties quickly and
safely and ensures first aid measures. Casual-
ties must be rescued within minutes.
BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-made
rescue concepts and includes these in the
necessary training courses.

• Calculation of the possible fall path if all nec-
essary PPE components are used correctly: (if
necessary braking path HSG) + surplus lan-
yard (situation-dependent) + braking path
energy absorber (max. . m) + height of
D-ring (. m) + safety reserve . m.
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Germany,
the DGUV Regulations - and -
issued by the professional associations) and
the accident prevention guidelines for the
specific industry (UVV) must be observed.
• Application temperature: - °C to + °C.
• Check compatibility with other parts of the
PPE.
• The securing device and the respective rope
must be tested and certified as one unit. No
other ropes may be used.
• Before use, ensure adequate clearance below
the user to prevent impact on a protruding
object or the ground.
