Never use fall protection equipment for towing or hoisting.
Do not increase the surface area of the platform or load. Increasing the area
exposed to the wind will decrease machine stability.
Inspect for dangers that may arise by the use of combinations of items and
equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes
with the safe function or another.
User must carry out a pre-use check of the equipment, to ensure that it is in a
serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is used.
It is essential for safety that equipment is withdrawn from use immediately
should any doubt arise about its condition for safe use or if it has been used
to arrest a fall. Unit must not be used again until conrmed in writing by a
competent person that it is acceptable to do so.
It is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point should always be
positioned, and work carried out in such way, as to minimize both the potential
for falls, potential fall distance, and swing fall hazards.
A full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used
in a fall arrest system.
Verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each
occasion of use, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the
ground or any other obstacle in the fall path.
Consider hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and
corresponding safety precautions that have to be observed (e.g.: extremes
of temperature, trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges,
chemical reagents, electrical conductivity, cutting, abrasion, climatic exposure,
pendulum falls).
It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the
original country of destination the reseller shall provide instructions for use, for
maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in the language of the
country in which the product is to be used.
Perform regular annual, or more frequent examinations, as the safety of
users depends upon the continued efciency and durability of the equipment.
Periodic examination frequency shall be at least every 12 months. Periodic
examinations are only to be conducted by a competent person and strictly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s periodic examination procedures.
