5.0 STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
The Anchor on the Go™ has been manufactured in accordance with AS/
NZS 1891.4 and meets its requirements when used in accordance with
the operator’s manual.
5.1 Inspection, Care and Maintenance
Before first use, ensure product identification details have been recorded
in this manual and that it is stored safely for future reference, along with
the recording of annual inspections by a competent person. Alternatively,
store the records of inspections separately and securely, including the
product identification number attached to the individual components
purchased. The instruction label on the Anchor on the Go™ also has
room for recording inspection dates if required. Alternatively, an i-Safe™
tag can be retrofitted to the device to assist with product identification.
Before and after each use of the Anchor on the Go™, carefully inspect it
to ensure it is in serviceable condition. Check for worn or damaged parts.
Inspect for sharp edges, burrs, cracks or corrosion. Inspect all other
fall protection equipment used along with this system in accordance to
manufacturer’s instructions. Check that all components are currently
within the inspection period. If in doubt, do not use the equipment and
refer to a competent person for inspection and certification.
5.2 Training in the use of fall arrest systems
The use of this product must be accompanied by competency based
training in fall arrest systems – reading this manual alone will not
be sufficient for all people – particularly those with no training in fall
protection equipment or with prior experience at working at height. The
training and instruction given should cover at least:
• How to complete a risk assessment of a work area and prepare work
instructions and work method statements to be put into place for a
safer working environment;
• The method to be used in carrying out the specified work task. This
should include access and the attachment method;
• The correct use, care and storage of individual fall arrest equipment
and temporary fall arrest systems;
