paint, solvents, adhesives, corrosive substances, reagents, etc.);
3
self-adhesive labels; other potentially harmful products/substances.
Attention! When using textile devices, be careful to the contact with sharp
edges and, when necessary, use protective devices.
2.3 - Responsibilities. Each individual is responsible for his/her own
choices and actions: anyone who is not capable of assuming this
responsibility must not use these devices under any circumstances. The
responsibility of the manufacturer is limited to manufacturing defects and
materials used. Attention! Do not use a device for activities exceeding its
limitations or for uses that are different to those intended! Attention! Being
equipped with personal protective devices does not justify exposing
oneself to potentially lethal risks. Attention! There are many incorrect or
erroneous usage procedures and only the procedures indicated as correct
are allowed: any other possible usage procedure must be considered as
forbidden.
2.4 - Materials. All materials and treatments (unless otherwise specified)
are antiallergic and do not cause skin irritation or sensitization.
2.5 - Warnings. Such warnings relate only to the devices reporting, in the
specific instructions, the ANSI/ASSE 359 or ASTM F1772 standard. Before
each use: make sure that all the devices show the correct reference to the
standard and that are in perfect working order; make sure that the
maintenance sheets of each device are correctly updated; make sure you
have carefully considered the safest way of access, equipped yourself
properly and provided for a rescue procedure to recover the incapacitated
operator or to deal with any emergency that may arise during work; inform
the user of the existence of the arranged rescue procedure. During each
use: pay attention to the dangers that could jeopardize the performance of
the device (e.g. twisting or dragging of lanyards or rescue ropes on sharp
edges; chemical reagents; electrical conductivity; pendulum falls etc.). For
devices intended for use in a fall arrest system: for the operator's safety it
is necessary that the device or anchor point is always correctly positioned
and that the work is carried out so that the risk of falling and the length of a
fall are minimized; before any use, verify the free space required below the
user at the work station so that, in the event of a fall, there is no collision
with the ground or other obstacles on the path of the fall; consider that a
body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used
in a fall arrest system.
3) INSPECTIONS.
Inspections carried out by the user are necessary to ensure that the device
is in an efficient condition, functions correctly and can be used. Before and
after each use: verify that the metal and plastic parts, if present, do not
show deformations, sharp edges, abnormal variations in color, corrosion
and oxidation;a verify that the metal and plastic parts, if present, do not
show cuts, cracks, incisions or signs of wear with a depth greater than 1
mm; verify that the textile parts, if present, and their stitching do not show
cuts, abrasions, fraying, wear, burns, damage due to exposure to heat or
ultraviolet rays, excessive stretching, corrosion and traces of mold or
chemicals, paying attention in checking any hidden areas as well; verify
that the stitching, if present, do not show cut, pulled or loose threads; verify,
feeling with the fingers the whole length of the devices made of rope, that
the inner core does not show cuts, points of emptiness, splits, swelling;
verify that any moving parts (e.g. opening levers, locking cams, etc.)
4
correctly rotate without jamming and, where provided with a spring, once
released slowly automatically return to their position; verify that there is no
dirt, particularly near any gap le.g. sand. deposits of material).
4) DEVICES FOR PERSONAL USE.
Each device, beside exceptions, is to be considered for strictly personal
use and, where necessary, it must be prescribed that it is delivered
individually to the user. In case of use by a second user, carry out and
inspection of the device before and after use and, where required, note the
details on the appropriate sheet. Attention! Never use a device if you do not
know the related complete life path or if it is provided without the correct
documentation (instructions for use, any inspection sheet, etc.).
5) MARKING.
The indications on the device can appear in different places depending on
the dimension of the device.
1) Product name. 2) Product code. 3) Product definition.4) Name of the
manufacturer or of the responsible for placing the product on the market. 5)
Warning that the device is designed to be used by only one person. 6)
Reference standard.
6) LIFE SPAN.
It is difficult to predetermine with accuracy the real lifespan of a device
because it is influenced by several factors (environment in which the
equipment is used, climatic factors, storage conditions, frequency and
intensity of use, etc.). Nevertheless, it is possible to estimate the device's
maximum lifespan, consisting of an initial period of optimal storage and a
period of use. For textile and plastic products, the maximum lifespan is 12
years from the date of manufacture, of which no more than 10 years from
the date of the first use. The maximum life span of metallic products is
theoretically indefinite, but it is still advisable to replace them after 10 years
of use. Attention! The life span of a device can be limited even to just one
use, where it is involved in an exceptional event (major falls, extreme
temperatures, contact with harmful chemical agents or sharp edges, etc.).
7）INTERRUPTION OF USE / ELIMINATION.
Stop using the device immediately: if the maximum life span has been
exceeded; if it is obsolete, incompatible with more modern devices or
outclassed due to standards' updates; if the result of the inspections is not
satisfactory; if there are doubts on the functioning or on the good condition
of the device; if it has been exposed to an exceptional event or a hard fall:
even if there is no visible defect or degradation, its initial strength and
resistance could be seriously reduced. Atfention! Destroy discarded
products to avoid any further use. Attention! Do not use the device again
until receiving a written confirmation from a competent person authorized
by the manufacturer, stating that it is acceptable to use the device again.
8) PERIODIC INSPECTION.
It is generally recommended, at least every 12 months, a thorough
inspection of the device by the manufacturer, by a competent person
authorized by the manufacturer or by a competent person according to the
current national regulations on PPE inspection. Attention! Such inspection
5
is mandatory only for devices for which it is indicated in the specific
instructions. Nevertheless, regular inspections are essential to ensure the
continued efficiency and durability of the device, on which the safety of the
user depends. The carrying out of the periodic inspections does not
exempt the user from the obligation to carry out the checks before and
after each use, nor to request an extraordinary periodic inspection at the
occurrence of exceptional events (e.g. fall from low height, etc.) or in in
case of doubts on the proper functioning of the device. The data of the
device and the results of the inspections must be reported respectively in
the identification sheet of the device and in the periodic inspection one.
The instructions for use and any additional documents must be kept for the
entire life of the device. Attention! In absence of the document showing the
data of the device and the results of the checks, or if illegible, refrain from
using the device. Attention!
8.1 -Frequency of inspections. The minimum frequency of 12 months
