SAFETY WARNINGS
Regulation-compliant, non-personal fall
protection or safety netting or other
catch equipment, in accordance with DIN
18338 Roof Covering and Roof Sealing
Work and DIN 18451 Scaffolding Work
with Safety Net, must be installed before
starting work.
Safety harnesses must be secured
above the user if possible. Only
secure safety harnesses to building
elements or connection points with
sufficient load-bearing capacity.
If no personal fall protection or fall arrest
system or equipment has been installed
for technical reasons, safety harnesses
must be worn.
Do not use damaged ladders e.g.
splintered stringers and rungs on
wooden ladders, bent or kinked
metal ladders. Do not patch up
splintered or broken stringers, steps
and rungs of wooden ladders.
Only use safety harness equipment
(harnesses or belts, ropes and straps, fall
arresters, rope shorteners) that have
been approved by authorized testing
authorities.
Make sure that lean-to ladders are
propped securely. Apply the correct
leaning angle (68 ° - 75 °). Secure
lean-to ladders against slipping,
falling over and sinking into the
ground e.g. by using wider feet,
adjusting the ladder feet to the
ground
surface,
securing/hook
fixtures.
If no personal fall protection or fall arrest
system is used there is a risk of falling
from a great height which can lead to
serious or fatal injury if no safety harness
or equipment is used.
Only lean ladders against secure
supporting surfaces. Cordon off
ladders in traffic areas.
When using lean-to ladders, there is a risk
of dangerous falls if the ladder sinks, slips
or falls over.
