SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
Ensure system is maintained to the below requirements
1. This system needs to be checked and recertified by a
competent height safety inspector every 12 months for
non corrosive environments or 6 monthly for corrosive or
harsh environments. (To be determined by competent
person depending on severity of surrounding conditions.)
2. Never clean using acids or other chemicals that could
damage the system components.
3. The cam pivot points on the vertical fall arrester should
be lubricated using a dry graphite lubricant, NOT oil
which will attract dirt.
4. The stainless steel cable must be cleaned and then
coated with a dry graphite lubricant.
5. The identification/certification label must be completed
confirming maintenance and recertification of the
system.
Failure to follow all warnings, operation and
maintenance instructions may result in serious injury
or death.
6. Harness gear and equipment must be maintained and
stored in a dry, protected area, away from acids and
ultra violet rays which cause material fibres to break
down and reduce their safety and life expectancy.
7. Any deterioration or damage to the system or equipment
must be reported to the person in control of the
workplace and relevant corrective action undertaken.
8. Maintenance inspections must be clearly documented.
Any non-conformance must be clearly identified
and tagged ‘Do Not Use’ until corrective action by a
competent person has been completed.
