ISTRUZIONI DI INSTALLAZIONE
The R27LS rail must be installed by HARKEN or Harken dealer’s authorized installers or by qualified
professionals, trained to design, install, certify and service the fall arrest system. For a list of HARKEN’s
authorized installers, see the website
www.harkenindustrial.com .
In order to evaluate the base material, the structural anchorages or the anchor/fixing correctly, take into
account the loads registered on the anchoring device during the dynamic and integrity tests indicated in the
design-related chapter.
The installer carries the full responsibility for a proper and safe installation that is tested to meet all relevant
standards. Normally this would be verified by an independent safety engineer/surveyor.
The correct installation must be suitably verified by a supervisor or by a safety officer through calculations or
tests. After completing the installation, the installer must issue the related documents required by reference
regulations and must fix and display near the system access point the sign indicating:
• name and contact info of the manufacturer.
• name and contact info of the installing company.
• type of fixing devices.
• installation date.
• maximum number of operators that can connect at the same time.
• notice to consult the contents of the anchoring system booklet.
• notice to refer to the contents of the anchoring system booklet.
• date of the following inspection or the date of the last inspection along with the inspection schedule.
• notice to avoid using the anchoring system if the inspection has not been carried out.
After the installation, a copy of the installation documents must be submitted to the client. These documents
must be kept in the building for following inspections of the anchoring device.
