IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
A FALL RESCUE PLAN AND SAFE WORK STATEMENT MUST BE DEVELOPED PRIOR TO USING
SAFETYLINK SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT.
PERSONS WORKING AT HEIGHTS SHOULD NOT WORK ALONE.
It is critical that before using any SafetyLink Systems a fall rescue plan is in place for any persons suspended
mid-
air following a fall. Serious injury or death can occur in a matter of minutes, particularly if a person’s
movement or breathing is restricted or loss of consciousness has occurred. In accordance with your fall
rescue plan and appropriate first aid procedures it is essential to remove the person from the suspended
position as quickly as possible.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 CLAUSE 9.5
EQUIPMENT WHICH HAS ARRESTED A FALL OR SHOWS A DEFECT
Any piece of equipment including both personal and permanently installed items, which has been used to
arrest a fall or which shows any defect during operator or periodic inspection shall be withdrawn from
service immediately and a replacement obtained if necessary. A label indicating the condition or defect
should be attached to the equipment, and it should be examined by a competent person who will decide
whether the equipment is to be destroyed or repaired if necessary and returned to service. In the latter
case, details of any repair shall be documented and a copy given to the operator.
