is in a safe condition, immediately remove the component in
question…
3.2.) The equipment must be immediately removed from service
after a fall and checked by an expert. If it can no longer be used, it
must be disposed.
4.) Safety requirements
The instructions on protecting the user and the equipment must be
strictly complied with! The product label must be completely legible!
In order to avoid a suspension trauma in case of a fall, there must
be an rescue plan available that is designed to reduce the amount
of time suspended while wearing a harness, and consequently to
prevent a circulatory collapse… SKYLOTEC suspension relief straps
can be used to provide protection against this. It is an important
requirement for the user to check all attachment and/or adjustment
parts regularly during use…
4.1) Application temperature -35 to +40 °C
4.2) Store dry and protected from light and transport correctly
4.3) Avoid slack rope
4.4) Avoid contact with corrosive substances
4.5) Consider danger of suspension trauma
4.6) Avoid edge loading and watch out for abrasive surfaces.
4.7) Consider danger from electrical equipment
4.8) Consider danger by moving machine parts
4.9) Do not put on personal protective equipment in the location
where there is a risk of falling…
4.10) Avoid heat and flames,
5.) Inspection and service life
A regular review of local regulations is required. In Europe,
for example, an annual audit by an expert is necessary. The
replacement state depends on the product, its frequency of use
and the external application conditions… All PPE unavoidably loses
durability over the course of its service life… This is accelerated by
UV rays, heat, chemicals, aggressive atmospheres, dirt.
6.) Maintenance and storage
The manufacturer’s liability for defective products does not include
damage to property or personal injuries, which can occur even for
proper functioning and correct application of personal fall protection
equipment . This Manufacturer‘s liability will be rendered null and
void, if the equipment is modified, or local regulations are not
complied with or followed, or the equipment/component instructions
are not made available to the user individually by the Competent
Person . It is imperative to carry out a visual and functional check
of all fall protection components (other than emergency or sealed
equipment) prior to each use. Repair work shall only be performed
