DESCRIPTION OF THE ADJUSTABLE DEVICE MARKING
(ENGRAVING ON THE ADJUSTABLE DEVICE)
PROT-4
Ref. No. AF 104
,
!
a full body harness
(conforming to EN 361)
is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
!
in full body harness use only attaching points marked with big letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system.
!
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a
way, as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The anchor device/point should be placed above the
position of the user . The shape and construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of
the equipment. Minimal static strength of the anchor device/point is 1
2
kN.
I
t is recommended to use certified and marked
structural anchor point complied with EN795
!
it is obligatory
to
verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion of use the fall arrest
system, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required
value of the free space should be taken from instruction manual of used equipment.
!
there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have to
be observed during equipment utilization, especially:
- trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges,
- any defects
like cutting, abrasion, corrosion,
- climatic exposure,
- pendulum falls,
- extremes of temperature,
- chemical reagents,
-
electrical conductivity.
!
personal protective equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-proof textile or foil bag or
cases made of steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.
!
the equipment can be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the manufacture of the equipment. For textile
products use mild detergents for delicate fabrics, wash by hand or in a machine and rinse in water. Plastic parts can be
cleaned only with water. When the equipment becomes wet, either from being in use or when due cleaning, it shall be allowed
to dry naturally, and shall be kept away from direct heat. In metallic products some mechanic parts (spring, pin, hinge, etc.)
can be regularly slightly lubricated to ensure better operation.
Other maintenance and cleaning procedures should be adhered to detailed instructions stated in the manual of the equipment.
!
personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed, in a well-ventilated place, protected from direct light,
ultraviolet degradation, damp environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances.
