Equipment) and should be suitably stored during transport so as to prevent
damage and resultant malfunctions.
Care must be taken on reselling the PPE to another European country that
the operating instructions and safety instructions are provided in the na-
tional language. Before using the fall protection runner it is necessary to
ensure that a plan of rescue measures is available which takes all possible
emergencies during work into consideration.
1.1 Safety
Never use a fall protection runner whose test period has expired. Bear in
mind that the safety of the user depends on the efficacy and durability of
the equipment. If there are defects in or doubts concerning the correct
state of the fall protection system, it must be taken out of use until an ex-
pert has approved its continued use. Special caution is advised when as-
cending and descending because the user may have no protection against
hitting the ground for the first 2 m above the entry level or platform. Before
each use, it must be ensured that the required free space is available below
the user. So that in the event of a fall no impact on the ground or another
obstacle is possible. During climbing, attention must always be paid to the
fastenings of the fall arrest rail, the ladder and the end stops. As a general
rule, the user should always be alert to the possibility of faulty fastenings or
missing end stops; in the worst case this can lead to a fall!
1.2 Checking and inspection
The operating company must inspect the PPE regularly. The intervals must
be determined during a risk assessment. An inspection may only be con-
ducted by an expert.
Personal protective equipment must be inspected before initial commission-
ing, following repairs and after longer periods without use. According to
HACA specifications, the inspection must be conducted by an expert at least
once a year.
