replaced depending on the type of deviation.
6.1
COMMISSIONING INSPECTION
Before the SafeRail-fall arrest system is taken into use or after repairs have been performed to the system, a
commissioning inspection must be carried out, during which the entire system and its individual components
are inspected.
Commissioning inspections must be documented.
During the commissioning inspection, the inspector examines whether the installation has been carried out
according to the instructions, whether each fixing and tensioning has been performed carefully, and whether
the system and its components are undamaged. As part of the commissioning inspection, the system must
be tested by ascending and descending the entire length of the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail using a SafeRail
Carriage-safety carriage.
6.1.1
COMMISSIONING INSPECTION
– SAFERAIL CARRIAGE-SAFETY CARRIAGE AND
ITS FUNCTIONALITY
•
The spring of the SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage is undamaged and springy.
•
The spring of the SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage is properly in place and functional. The condition
of the spring must be verified by coupling the carriage with and moving the carriage along the
Vertical SafeRail-safety rail and letting go. After falling, the SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage will lock
automatically on to the locking notches if the spring is working as expected. The Vertical SafeRail-
safety rail is equipped with locking notches every 150 mm.
•
The SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage has not been deformed in any way.
•
The wheels of the SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage are tightly attached to the axels, and it glides
effortlessly along the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail.
•
The permanent markings on the SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage are clearly legible.
6.1.2
COMMISSIONING INSPECTION
– SAFERAIL LADDERS AND VERTICAL SAFERAIL-
SAFETY RAIL
•
The structures of the SafeRail ladder and/or the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail are undamaged. In
order to check that the SafeRail ladder and/or the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail have been installed
correctly, the user must also review the installation instructions.
•
The structures to which the SafeRail ladder and/or the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail have been
attached are undamaged.
•
No mechanical or corrosion/rust damage can be observed on the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail.
•
The groove on the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail profile has the correct width, i.e. 15 mm.
•
The screws, bolts, and nuts of the fasteners and the extension pieces used to secure the SafeRail
ladder and/or the Vertical SafeRail-safety rail are safely and securely attached.
•
The markings on the instructional sign of the SafeRail-fall arrest system are up to date and clearly
legible. Order a new sign if necessary.
•
The commissioning inspection must also always include a test climb with a SafeRail Carriage-safety
carriage.
