Instruction Manual
The following hazards may impact the proper functioning of
the equipment: e.g. putting stress on the connection devices
due to sharp edges, cuts, abrasion, slack rope, chemical,
electric or climatic impact, extreme temperatures, swinging
movement in the event of a fall. The connection devices,
therefore, should always be inspected prior to use and if
necessary, an edge protector must be provided.
The anchor device may be used in frosty conditions provided
the device was installed in frost-free conditions.
3. Requirements for the use and for the user of
Fallnet
®
SR
The anchor point Fallnet
®
SR must only be used by persons
who have been instructed in the safe use of the equipment,
who have the necessary knowledge and who, in terms of their
health, are capable of using the equipment (e.g. no impairment
due to medication, alcohol abuse, coronary or circulatory
problems etc.).
The user is to be instructed such that s/he will carry out the
following visual and manual inspections of the anchor point
before each use:
- manual tensile loading and visual inspection of the visible
stainless steel components, the support and the anchor eye
- visual inspection of the load height
Indications that the good working condition of the
anchor point is restricted could be:
- the stainless steel parts (support and anchor eye) are
deformed, weakened, soiled or are not in their original
condition.
- the anchor point yields slightly when pulled
- there is an uneven level of material around the anchor point,
e.g. as a result of drifting
- the black grids are visible.
- Objects (e.g. also concrete slabs) in the area of the anchor
point (radius of at least 0.5 m) that would prevent the
supports folding over as planned.
If there are concerns about the safe condition or the pro-
per functioning of the anchor device, it must not be used
and the builder/the owner must be notified.
Under no circumstances should the device be used until
the situation has been clarified!
The individual anchor points are to be used in accordance
with the plan for use. If there is no utilisation plan available,
the length of the connection device of the PSA must always be
adjusted such that a possible fall is prevented or a swinging
fall does not result in impact. Prior to use, an emergency plan
must be available in which all possible occupational emer-
gency situations are addressed.
At the request of the client/owner, an inspection of the
proper functioning of the entire safety equipment is to be
carried out:
1. at least once a year
2. where required, e.g. if there is doubt about the proper
functioning of the equipment (see “Indications of
restricted functioning”)
3. after 10 years a complete inspection of the system
Fallnet
®
SR is to be carried out by the manufacturer.
The equipment must only be inspected by persons qualified
to do so and details of all inspections must be recorded in the
inspection chart.
It must also include the works listed under “Regular inspections”
(page 7). The relevant check list is available in PDF from the
manufacturer.
Attention:
After a fall arrest event, Fallnet
®
SR must be removed from
service immediately. Further use of the equipment is not
permitted. The product Fallnet
®
SR must only be used for the
purpose and application as described. The manufacturer
