Inspection
The fall protection system shall be inspected
at least once a year by a certified technician,
and can be used only if the inspection reveals
no problem. If a fall occurs, inspection and
maintenance of the fall protection system
including fall arrester, guide rail and ladder,
etc. must be performed by competent
personnel other than the operator.
Note:
Use a separate fall protection system
while inspecting and maintaining the
fall protection system.
If any fault or defect of the fall protection
system is found during routine inspection or
annual inspection, the fall protection system
shall not be used until troubleshooting
is conducted. The fault or defect shall be
reported to the equipment administrator,
and the system including the fall arrester
shall be inspected by competent personnel
who should record the fault or defect and
decide on repair or scrapping. Before each
use, conduct routine inspection of the system
in accordance with Section 6.1 and Section
6.2.
6.1 Visual check
6.1.1
Check the guide rail: During upward
climbing, visually check the guide
rail and its joints for any damage or
deformation. Ensure that all fasteners
are secured well, and guide rail
sections have been correctly installed
in accordance with instructions.
6.1.2
Check the fall arrester: check the
locking lever and swing lever for any
damage or deformation. Ensure that
the shock absorber is complete and has
not extended, and that the carabiner is
complete without break or crack.

Check whether the fall arrester
functions normally by following the
instructions below. Stop using if any
damage or defect is found.
