adequately qualified person, the user must be trai-
ned promptly to ensure he will detect such faults.
The intervals for inspection of the rescue equipment
by an adequately qualified person must be determi-
ned by the management of the enterprise conside-
ring all relevant factors (type and risk level of the
workplace, external influences on the equipment,
type and frequency of use of the equipment).
Regular inspections of the equipment must be
documented by the enterprise. The following infor-
mation will suffice: identification of the device, date
of inspection, name of the adequately qualified
person and result of the inspection.
7. SERVICE LIFE
The service life depends on the application condi-
tions at hand. Based on current experiences, the
useful life of the rope is limited to 6 years under
normal conditions.
8. WARNINGS
Instructions for use an inspection are supplied for
each system or component. These must be kept
together with the equipment. Also observe the inst-
ructions for use of the products used in conjunction
with the descender devices Safe Descent and Safe
; also observe the applicable regulations
for accident prevention.
The descender device must be used exclusively by
a person that has been instructed and trained in its
safe use. Only regular practical exercises guarantee
safe use. A rescue plan must be available for each
foreseen rescue situation.
All changes or additions to the descender device
are forbidden, unless they have been approved in
writing by the manufacturer.
The descender device must be used exclusively for
the conditions of use outlined in the present inst-
ructions for use (loads, descent height, temperature
range). Prolonged descent operations may cause
the descender device to heat up. Therefore, touch
the device with gloves only.
Any combination of different equipment may in its
inter-operation cause unexpected hazard situations
that may negatively influence safe use. The attach-
ment point must be above the user; its minimum
loading strength must be 12 kN to EN 795, or the
loading strength must conform with the applicable
local/national regulations.
The descender device must be removed from use
immediately if there are even the slightest doubts
concerning its safe condition or safe function.
Impaired health, such as heart and circulatory pro-
blems, use of medication or similar conditions, may
affect the safety of the user under normal condi-
tions and in cases of emergency. The descent ope-
ration must be controlled constantly by the user/
users, since control, once lost, may be very difficult
to regain. The lifting and descent functions of the
descender device must be used exclusively for res-
cue purposes and not for lifting or lowering of loads.
Avoid descent to hazard zones with electric
hazards, hot parts/media, chemical hazards etc.
Do not use any other than the original rope supplied
by the manufacturer; the rope may only be replaced
by the manufacturer or a person authorized by the
manufacturer.
