PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
The SafeRail-fall arrest system must be inspected annually, once every 12 months. Regular inspections are
used to ensure user safety and the reliability of the system. The periodic inspections may only be carried out
by the manufacturer, or another person or body authorized by the manufacturer. The end customer is
responsible for the performance of the periodic inspections. In terms of its content, the periodic inspection is
identical to the commissioning inspection. The periodic inspection is carried out in accordance with sections
6.1.1.
–6.1.2.
In addition, the SafeRail-fall arrest system must, as stated in section 1 of the user instructions, be inspected
by the user before each use.
A periodic inspection must also be carried out immediately each time a user has reported an observed
deficiency or defect before the system is used again. SafeRail ladders and Vertical SafeRail-safety rails must
also be inspected after each falling incident, before the next use. Please note that in case of a fall, the
SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage must immediately be removed from use and replaced with a new one if it
has stopped a falling user.
A periodic inspection of the SafeRail Carriage-safety carriage is carried out during the annual inspection of
other personal protective equipment (incl. safety harness, ropes, and helmet).
The periodic inspections must be documented.
6.3
INSPECTION REPORT
As mentioned above in section 6, the commissioning and periodic inspections for the SafeRail-fall arrest
system may only be carried out by a party authorized by the manufacturer. An inspection report must be
produced for each inspection, in which are recorded the type of inspection, any observations made during
the inspection as well as potential further measures, and the date of the next planned inspection. A template
for the inspection report can be found on the next page.
