SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
ALLGEMEIN
The following safety instructions and the current state of the art must be
taken into consideration.
3.1
GENERAL
-
The fall protection system may be installed only by specialised experts familiar
with the fall protection system, and in accordance 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.
-
During installation/use of the fall protection system, the respective accident preven-
tion regulations (e.g. working on roofs) must be complied with.
-
Understand and accept the capabilities, restrictions, and risks of the protective equip-
ment.
-
A plan must be available that specifies rescue procedures for all possible emergencies
.
-
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.
-
You should plan, install, and use the anchorage point in such a way that no one can
fall over the edge if the personal protective equipment (PPE) is used properly.
(See planning documents on www.innotech.at)
-
At the access to the roof fall protection system, you must document the positions
of the attachment devices by means of plans (e.g. top view of the roof).
-
If following the certification of the fall protection system, structural changes are
carried out in the immediate vicinity of the fall protection system, it must be ensured
that these changes do not affect the security of the installed fall protection system!
Where there is any doubt, consult a structural engineer or the manufacturer.
-
After being subjected to the stress of a fall, the use of the fall protection system
must be stopped, and it must be checked by a specialised expert (component parts,
attachment to the substructure, etc.).
-
Do not make any changes to the fall protection system.
-
If used on sloping roofs, roof avalanches (ice, snow) must be avoided by means of
suitable devices to prevent snow from sliding.
