Check safety features in the context of reoccurring inspections
13.5.1
Inspect rope stop
The rope stop test may only be carried out by a qualified person who is specified by the employer
and can evaluate the risks based on their training or knowledge and practical experience and
can assess the safe condition of the rope stop.
A function test should be carried out as follows:
1. Test clamps
•
Close the rope stop by pressing the unlocking lever (1).
-
If the safety rope can still be pulled up then get a qualified person to
inspect the rope stop.
2. Test overspeed trigger
•
Re-open rope stop by pulling up the unlocking lever (1) again and pull
up the safety rope in a jerky manner – the rope stop must close
automatically. If not, get the rope stop checked by an authorized person.
3. Test inclination switch
•
Re-open rope stop by pulling up the unlocking lever (1) again and pull
the safety rope (2) diagonally beneath the winch (away from the
winch). The rope stop must close automatically if there is a slant of
more than approx. 10°. If not, get the rope stop checked by an
authorized person.
