SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
ALLGEMEIN
The following safety instructions and the latest technological standards must be
taken into account.
3.1
GENERAL
-
The safety system may only be assembled according to the latest technological
standards and by appropriately trained, competent professionals who are familiar
with the safety system.
-
The system may only be installed or used by people who:
-
• are trained in the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
•
are physically and psychologically fit (health restrictions such as heart and circula
-
tory problems, medication, alcohol consumption, etc. reduce user safety.
• are familiar with the locally applicable safety regulations.
-
All applicable accident prevention regulations (e.g. for working on roofs) must be
observed during installation / use of the fall prevention system.
-
The possibilities, restrictions and risks of using the protective equipment must be
understood and accepted.
-
A plan must be available which includes rescue measures for all possible emergen-
cies.
-
Before works begin, measures must be taken to ensure that no objects can fall down
from the workspace. The area under the workspace (pavement, etc.) is to be kept
clear.
-
The anchor point should be planned, installed and used in such a way that proper
use of the personal protective equipment makes falling over the edge impossible.
(See planning documents at www.innotech.at)
-
The positions of the anchor points are to be visibly documented (e.g. witha a sketch
of the rooftop) at the access point to the roof safety system.
-
If, after the acceptance of the safety system, renovation work is undertaken in its
immediate vacinity, it must be established that this renovation has no impact on the
safety of the installed safety system! In case of doubt, a structural engineer or the
manufacturer must be consulted.
-
After being subjected to the stress of a fall, the entire safety system is to be taken
out of operation and inspected by a qualified professional (component parts, faste
-
nings to the substructure, etc.).
-
The safety system must not be altered in any way.
-
On slanted roofs, the proper snow-catching features must be added to prevent ice or
snow from sliding from the roof surface.
