8.4 TRAINING
The Capital Safety Approved Installer must provide the end user
with training on how to use the System and user equipment.
Training may involve an additional cost.
Only trained personnel may use the system.
8.5 RESCUE
Due to the nature of the system, in that it is designed to protect
workers from a fall from height, in the event that a worker is
rendered unconscious or injured, they will require rescuing and
bringing back to a position of safety.
Rescuing personnel from a horizontal lifeline system whilst working
at height is a skilled task, that requires trained personnel and
specialist equipment.
If you have made a decision to purchase a Uni 8™ Overhead
System, then you should make suitable provision for a rescue plan.
For further guidance, information on equipment, training courses
and rescue provision, please contact Capital Safety or your
Approved Systems Integration Company.
