Before each use
, check that the system is functioning properly. Specifically, check:
- that the product does not have any visible defects, cuts, abrasions, or signs of wear, cracks, etc.
- the energy absorber (if fitted) has not been activated (red ring visible),
- that there are no traces of oxidation.
Also check that the annual device inspection is still valid.
As the anchorage line (rail) is a safety device, particular attention must be paid during visual inspections.
No modifications, including the addition or removal of parts, may be carried out without first consulting the manufacturer. Missing or defective parts will
be replaced with original parts provided exclusively by the manufacturer. In case of doubt, for your safety it is mandatory to have the manufacturer, or
competent person appointed by them, inspect the installation.
These systems (rail + sliding fall arrester) are PPE, and therefore it is mandatory to have the manufacturer, or competent person appointed by them,
inspect the system:
- after a fall,
- every 12 months,
This inspection must be recorded in the installation’s life record sheet, on the warning sign, as well as in the company’s safety logbook.
