SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
GENERAL
Comply with the following safety instructions and the latest state of the
art.
3.1
GENERAL
-
The restraint system may be installed only by specialised experts familiar with the
restraint system, and in compliance with the current state of the art.
-
The protective equipment may be used only by people who:
• are trained in the use of “personal protective equipment” (PPE).
• are in good physical and mental health. Medical conditions such as cardiovascular
problems, intake of medicines, consumption of alcohol, etc. negatively affect the
safety of the user.
• are familiar with the locally applicable safety regulations.
-
Adhere to the respective accident prevention regulations (e.g. working on roofs)
when installing/using the restraint system.
-
Understand and accept the options, restrictions, and risks of the protective equip-
ment.
-
A plan must be available that specifies rescue procedures for all possible emergen
-
cies.
-
Before starting work, ensure that no objects can fall to the ground from the work
site. The area below the work site (pavement, etc.) must be kept clear.
-
Plan, install, and use the anchorage point in such a manner that no fall over the
edge is possible if the personal protective equipment (PPE) is used properly. (See
planning documents at www.innotech.at).
-
For the access to the roof securing system, the positions of the attachment devices
must be documented by means of diagrams (e.g. top view of the roof).
-
If, following certification of the safety equipment, structural works are carried out in
the immediate vicinity of the restraint system, it must be ensured that these works
in no way affect the integrity of the installed restraint system. Where there is any
doubt, consult a structural engineer or the manufacturer.
-
After a load from a fall, and the resulting strain, you must stop using the safety
system, and have it checked by a specialised/competent expert (component parts,
fastening to the substructure, etc.).
-
Do not make any changes to the restraint system.
-
If used on sloping roofs, roof avalanches (ice, snow) must be prevented by the use
of suitable devices to hold back snow.
