safety precautions that have to be observed during equipment utilization, especially: - trailing or
looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges, - any defects like cutting, abrasion, corrosion, -
climatic exposure, - pendulum falls, - extremes of temperature, - chemical reagents, - electrical
conductivity.
personal protective equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-
proof textile or foil bag or cases made of steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.
the equipment can be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the
manufacture of the equipment. For textile products use mild detergents for delicate fabrics, wash
by hand or in a machine and rinse in water. Plastic parts can be cleaned only with water. When the
equipment becomes wet, either from being in use or when due cleaning, it shall be allowed to dry
naturally, and shall be kept away from direct heat. In metallic products some mechanic parts
(spring, pin, hinge, etc.) can be regularly slightly lubricated to ensure better operation.
Other maintenance and cleaning procedures should be adhered to detailed instructions stated
in the manual of the equipment.
personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed, in a well-ventilated place,
protected from direct light, ultraviolet degradation, damp environment, sharp edges, extreme
temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances.
there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding

item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to 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.
during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any
damages, excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting.
after every12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use
to carry out periodical detailed inspection. The periodic inspection must be carried out by
a competent person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out also by the
manufacturer or his authorized representative.

The anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user . The shape and
construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the
equipment. It is recommended to use certified and marked structural anchor point complied with
EN795.
it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each
occasion of use the fall arrest system, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the
ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of the free space should be taken from
instruction manual of used equipment.

USING THE WEBBING SLING
The webbing sling can be puted around a beam of different shape made of concrete or
metalurgical rolled section
Put the webbing sling around a construction element (structural anchor point) and
connect D-rings with oval type snap hook - drawing . Attach a fall arrest device (e.g.
energy absorber with lanyard, guided type fall arrester or retractable type fall arrester) to
the webbing sling with the snap hook - drawing .
Attention:
!Use only a certyfied (EN 362)snap hooks.
!The structural anchor point should has minimal strength of 15 kN.
!The shape of the structural anchor point should not let self-acting disconnection of the sling
- drawing .
!The minimal width of the element crossection should be not less than 10mm - drawing .
!The webbing sling length and cros-section dimensions of construction element should be
so matched that the angle between ends of the sling after its connection is not bigger than 90°
- drawing .
