Sling
- This product has been designed for your protec-
tion and therefore it is a personal protective equipment
(PPE). However, always remember that no item of PPE
can provide full protection and care must always be
taken while carrying out the risk-related activity.
This sling is for anchoring while climbing, mountaineer-
ing, rescuing, etc. (in normal climatic conditions). Use only
as instructed and with compatible items of equipment.
Check that the safe function of any one component
within a system will not interfere with safe function of
this sling or another. Twists in the webbing can cause
problems, weakness, serious injury or death.
Compatibility
- Make sure that each item in an assembly
is compatible as they may interfere with each other.
Equipment used together should have the CE symbol on
them, such as EN 355 for energy absorbers or EN 364 for
carabiners.
This sling is only to be used personal fall protection
equipment and not for lifting equipment.
Anchoring
- Under normal circumstances the WEB Sling
is for one user at a time only.
The viability of any installation should be verifiable by a
qualified engineer.
Any fall arrest anchorage used should be able to
withstand a force of 22kN.
When sling is used as an anchor for a fall arrest system,
the user shall be equipped with a means of limiting the
dynamic forces exerted on the user during the arrest of a
fall to a maximum of 6kN.
The structure must at least hold 12kN.
Safety
- The safety provided by this sling depends on its
strength and the skill of the user. The strength will be
reduced through the age, wear, tear, abrasion, cuts, high
impact loads, tight/sharp edges, very high or low
temperatures, knots, some chemicals (e.g. alkalis, oils,
cleaning products, etc.), UV or failure to store and
maintain as recommended. This list is not exhaustive.
Any sling subjected to a minor fall should be examined
and discarded if there is any sign of defect or any doubts
about safety.
Lifespan
- This is difficult to estimate but we advise as
follows: Do not use more than ten years after the date of
manufacture or five years after its first use, whichever
come first. Assuming you have used the correct storage,
the working life can vary between a single use in extreme
circumstances (e.g. highly chemical environment, serious
fall). UV light including sunlight will reduce the working life
significantly.
Inspection - It is recommended that the sling is marked
with the date of the next or last inspection.
Before each use visually inspect to ensure the product is in
serviceable condition and operates correctly. An
examination should be carried out at least every 6 months
by a competent person. These inspections should be
recorded. Pay particular attention to cuts and frays on the
edges, areas of potentially high wear and sewn parts. If
found any compromises disregard the product.
When carrying out an inspection pay attention to the
points as stated in the inspection form.
It is essential for safety that equipment is withdrawn from
use immediately should:
Any doubt arise about its condition for safe use or;
Any product subjected to a major fall and not used again
until confirmed in writing by a competent person that it is
acceptable to do so.
Before each use visually inspect to ensure the product is in
serviceable condition and operates correctly. If any
compromises are found do not use the product and retire
it.
Tensile Strength - The tensile strength of this product is
40kN and is calculated using the 3-Sigma method.
