GENERAL RULES FOR USE OF INDIVIDUAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR PROTECTION AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
!PPE items must be used only by persons trained in their methods of use.
!PPE items must not be used by persons whose medical condition can influence the safety of daily use or use in an emergency mode.
!An emergency action plan should be created for use in case of emergency.
!It is prohibited to modify the equipment in any way without the manufacturer's written consent.
!Any repairs of the equipment can be carried out only by the equipment's manufacturer or their authorised representative.
!PPE items may not be used for purposes they were not intended for.
!An item of PPE is personal and should be used by one person only.
!Check, before use, if all the elements of the protection against fall from a height system work together properly. Check periodically the connections and fittings of the
elements of the equipment to avoid their accidental loosening and unfastening.
!It is prohibited to use protective equipment sets where the operation of one component is disrupted by the operation of other component.
!Before each use of a PPE item, perform a thorough visual inspection to check the condition and operation of the equipment.
!Before use of equipment for protection against falls from a height comprising of the safety harness, check if all the elements are connected properly with each other and if
they cooperate without any disruptions and if they comply with the standards in force:
!During the visual inspection, check all the elements of equipment, paying particular attention any damage, excessive wear, corrosion, wearing through, cuts and abnormal
operation. Pay special attention to the following elements in the listed devices:
- safety harnesses and belts for work positioning - clamps, adjustment elements, fastening points (clamps), tapes, seams, loops;
- safety dampers - attachment loops, tape, seams, housing, connectors;
