Daily check
Before using the fall-arrest system with the fall arrester, the function of the system must be checked
daily; proceed as follows to do so:
1.
►
Perform a visual inspection:
⇨
Check that the fall protection rail is in a flawless, clean condition.
⇨
Dirty or damaged equipment affects the function of the fall-arrest system.
⇨
Contact with oils, acids or other corrosive liquids should be avoided.
⇨
If there are signs of thick ice or soiling on the fall-arrest system, use of the system
is not permitted.
2.
►
Before each usage, check whether the free space required at the workplace below the
user has been ensured so that no impact with an obstacle is possible in the event of a
fall.
3.
►
Observe the safety interval of 3 metres, see chapter Safety intervals on the system,
Page 18.
⇨
The protection afforded by the system cannot be guaranteed if the user is at the
bottom area of the access ladder.
4.
►
Before starting work, find out about an emergency plan with any rescue measures re-
quired, and how to initiate and implement them, from the operating company.
5.
►
Also find out about the local circumstances to allow any potential danger spots to be
identified.
After successfully completing the daily check, the fall-arrest system is ready for use.
