• Protect PPE during storing, use and
transportation against the effects of
heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g.
acids, alkalis, oils) and mechanical
impact (e.g. sharp edges).
• The combinability and protective
effect of the PPE must be checked for
each hazard situation (risk assess-
ment).
• If a casualty hangs motionless in a full
body harness for a longer time, blood
cannot flow back from the legs and/or
the flow may be interrupted. This can
lead to a suspension trauma, a
circulatory shock with serious to fatal
consequences.
• Before starting work, the responsible
person must draw up a plan of rescue
measures that defines how to rescue
casualties quickly and safely and
ensures first aid measures. Casualties
must be rescued within 20 minutes.
BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-
made rescue plans and includes these
in the necessary training courses.

• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in
Germany, the DGUV Regulations
112-198 and 112-199 issued by the
professional associations) and the
accident prevention guidelines for the
specific industry (UVV) must be
observed.
• Connectors with manual locking
fasteners should only be used if the
user does not hook it in and out very
frequently, e.g. several times during a
work day.
