case of any emergency. The attendant makes sure, at all times, that the user who is tying his lifeline cable or
rope to his harness is in the right position. The attendant also assures that the
XTIRPA
System is well in
place and that no load imbalance is possible.
h) Use only a certified full body harness in accordance with EN 361 and lifeline cables and ropes for any
user of the
XTIRPA
System, with appropriate specifications designed and recommended for use in
specialized work conditions such as those for which the
XTIRPA
System is intended to be used as per
this instruction and safety manual. For the installation of lifeline cables and ropes on the certified 12kn
anchor points of the davit arm, see section 6 paragraphs 3 and 5.
i) Plan your work program before starting. Have the required equipment, procedures and people, which
