!after every 12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to carry out periodical detailed inspection.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!personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe use and not used again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!personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed (or another procedures shall be introduced according
detailed instruction from equipment manual) when it have been used to arrest a fall.
,
!a full body harness (complied with EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
!the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way, as to minimise
both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. 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. Minimal static strength of the anchor
device/point is 12 kN. 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.
!there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding 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.
