have to be observed during equipment utilization, especially:
- trailing or looping of cable 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 safety precautions that

*a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
*it is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent.
*any repair shall only be carried out by equipment manufacturer or his certified representative.
*personal protective equipment shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.
*personal protective equipment should be a personal issue item.
*before use ensure about the compatibility of items of equipment assembled into a fall arrest system. Periodically check connecting and adjusting of the
equipment components to avoid accidental loosening or disconnecting of the components.
*it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one 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, especially take into consideration:
- in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;
- in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors;
- in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element, splices;
- in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting elements;
- in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;
- in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws, connector, energy absorber;
- in connectors - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear 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.
*In case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types of retractable fall arresters the annual inspection can be carried out only by the
manufacturer or his authorized representative.
*regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the users which depends upon the continued efficiency and
durability of the equipment.
*during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking.
*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 language of the country in which the product is to be used.
*personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe use and not used again until
confirmed in writing by equipment manufacturer or his representative after carried out the detailed inspection.
*personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed when it have been used to arrest a fall.
,
*a full body harness (conformed to EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
*in full body harness use only attaching points marked with big letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system. Marking like "A/2'" or a half of "A" means the
necessity of attaching a fall arrest system to both attaching points together simultaneously. It is strictly forbidden to attach a fall arrest system to the single
attaching point marked "A/2'" or a half of "A". See drawings below:

It must be taken into consideration that during using connecting rope
an additional distance "X" appears between structural anchor
point to which the lanyard is connected and fall arrest device -
drawing D
This distance may influence functioning of fall arrest device, its
position, and fall arrest distance. All calculations concerning
safety of working place, fall arrest distance, free distance below
working level must take into account this additional distance. The
fall arrest device must be situated above the level of attachement
point of a harness to which is connected. It is strictly forbidden to
connect fall arrest device that its position is below a level of
harness attachment point - drawing E
The deflection point does not exceed 5 mm.
