The device is a PPE used for work operations at height.
During these operations the operator, in addition to this manual,
must also follow the instructions for access at height of the Technical Roong Paper.
When the Geko device is used as part of a fall arrest system,
the operator will have to be equipped with an absorber that limits
the maximum fall arrest load to 6 kN
The operator must wear the UNI EN 361 harness and the connection device
suitable for the work he is preparing to carry out before accessing at height and
using Geko.
The connection devices compatible with Geko are:
- EN 354 - Fixed positioning lanyards equipped with absorber
- EN 353-2 - Guided rope device equipped with absorber
The operator must install Gecko before using it as an anchor for work
at height. The operator must anchor his connection device to the specic anchor point of
Geko before starting work.
The operator must anchor the connector of his connection device
in the appropriate space of the anchor point, bypassing the deformation space
of the fall indicator.
The operator must adjust or choose his own connection device so as to work in a fall-restraint
system and with a tensioned rope.
In any case, it is essential that:
- The anchor device is always well-positioned and that the work is carried out in such a way as to
minimize both the potential fall and the potential fall distance;
- The free space required under the user at the workstation is checked before each use, so that in
the event of a fall there is no collision with the oor or other obstacle.
