REQUIRED FREE DISTANCE BELOW WORKING LEVEL
!
structural anchor point to which will be connected working rope should be situated above working position and should has static resistance min. 15kN.
Free distance below the working surface depends on the length of the working rope under the worker - see the table and drawing A:
o
!
during horizontal moving of the worker, the working rope deflection from the vertical line up to 45 is allowed - see the drawing B.
WORKING IN ONE STAND
!
during the work in one stand the rope grab should be moved (by hand) under the line of the connecting buckle of the harness and blocked on the working
rope. Stopped in one place rope grab is not disturbing the worker. See the drawings below:

equipment components to avoid accidental loosening or disconnecting of the components.
!
it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
!
before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of the equipment, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition
and operates correctly before it is used.
!
during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any damages, excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cutting or
incorrect acting, especially take into consideration:
- in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;
- in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors;

- in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;
- in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws, connector, energy absorber;
- in connectors - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting.
THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USERS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
!
after every12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to carry out periodical detailed inspection. The periodic
inspection must be carried out by a competent person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out also by the manufacturer or his
authorized representative.
In case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types of retractable fall arresters the annual inspection can be carried out only by the manufacturer
or his authorized representative.
!
regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the users which depends upon the continued efficiency and
durability of the equipment.
!
during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking.
!
it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the reseller shall provide instructions for use, for
maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in language of the country in which the product is to be used.
