SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THERE IS A RISK TO LIFE IF THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED!
• The personal protective equipment (PPE) may
no longer be used even in the case of very
minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious personal
protective equipment or safety devices must
be immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an
expert or a workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK. This must be documented in the
test card.
• No independent changes or repairs may be
carried out.
• The full body harness is part of the personal
fall protection equipment and should be assi-
gned to a specific person.
• The personal protective equipment may only
be used by qualified staff that are familiar
with the material. They must be proficient in
handling the personal protective equipment
and must have been briefed about the possi-
ble risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), the users of fall protective
equipment (Category III) must attend a theo-
retical training course and a practical training
course. Make use of the training competence
of the BORNACK training centres:
hotline@bornack.de.
• Accessories from other manufacturers may
only be used if approved by BORNACK and
may not impair the function and safety of the
protective equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use the equipment if you are fully fit.
• Health impairments can jeopardise the safety
of the user when working at heights or
depths. This personal protective equipment
has been tested and approved for use over
edges. However extreme loads still represent
a higher risk. BORNACK recommends using
edge protection collars.
• If this personal protective equipment is used
as an arresting system (free fall possible), a
full body harness that complies to EN 361
must always be worn.
• Possible fall path if all required PPE compo-
nents are used correctly: brake path fall arres-
ter (max. 175 cm) + (if necessary reaction time
HSG) + physical height (clear height of the
PPE) + safety reserve 1 m
• Before using, ensure adequate clearance
below the user to prevent impact on a protru-
ding object or the ground.
• Protect personal protective equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
effects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils) and mechanical effects (e.g. sharp
edges).
• Before starting work, the responsible person
must draw up a plan of rescue measures that
defines how to rescue casualties quickly and
safely and ensures first aid measures. Casual-
ties must be rescued within 10 to 30 minutes.
BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-made
rescue plans in specific training courses:
hotline@bornack.de
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Germany,
the guidelines issued by the professional
associations BGR 198 and BGR 199) and the
accident prevention guidelines for the specific
industry (UVV) must be observed.
• Application temperature: -30 °C to +50 °C.
• Check compatibility with other PPE parts.
