Kingspan SafePro 2
Anchor and Cable System
3.1 System Design
The Anchor(s) will be positioned to suit your specific
requirements and local site conditions. The certified Kingspan
Installer will have verified all the necessary parameters before
commencing installation to ensure the safety of your product
when it is in use.
Position is determined by some of the following factors:
– The requirement for access and task to be performed
– Availability of structural anchors
– Ground clearance
– Obstacles beneath the work area
– Type of PPE to be used.
The user must always access the Anchor from a position of safety
therefore an additional fall protection system may be required.
If possible, this system should restraint rather than fall arrest.
For this reason it is necessary that persons only use the personal
protection equipment specified for use with the Anchor.
Do not detach from an Anchor unless you are in a position of
safety.
3.2 Installation
Lives are at risk if the Anchor(s) is not installed correctly.
Kingspan Certified Installers are highly trained in design,
installation, certification and maintenance. Certified Installers
are certified by Kingspan and records of trained personnel
are kept by our company. Customers should not attempt an
installation on their own unless they have received approval and
training by Kingspan. Customers must have access to all the
tools and information required to successfully install and test the
product.
Included in this manual is a checklist of the minimum amount of
information that should be supplied by the installer following the
installation of your Anchor(s).
3.3 Fixings
It is imperative that the supporting structure is capable of
withstanding at least twice the loads that will be generated in
the event of a fall. A structural engineer should verify this is the
case before a system is installed.
Furthermore, fixings and the interface of components with
the structure must be such that they do not permit dissimilar
materials to come into direct contact. The position of the base
plate and number of fixings that hold the anchor down to the
roof are critical to the products safety and should never be
altered.
All fixings must be correctly installed in accordance with
Kingspan’s Installation Instructions.
