User manual and manufacturer s specifications
Your roof protects the building, furnishings and assets. In
order for you to be able to enjoy a fully functional roof in the
long-term, it has to be installed professionally and maintained
at regular intervals during use and, where necessary, re-
paired. In order to do this it is important to ensure that works
carried out on a roof can be carried out safely. The client and
(perhaps later on) the owner is also under obligation here and
is responsible for ensuring compliance with all specifications
relating to occupational safety on a roof.

Requirements relating to use and the users
of Fallnet
®
ASG
The Fallnet
®
ASG collective edge protection system offers the
advantage that it protects everyone working on a roof without
them having to take special measures.
The user is to be instructed to carry out the following visual
and manual checks prior to starting work at the edge of a
roof:
• visual check of the visible parts (e.g. for deformation, corrosion)
• visual check of the ballast depth
Evidence of restricted functioning could be, where:
• parts are deformed, weakened or very dirty and if they are
not in their original state,
• an uneven substrate height is established, e.g. due to drifting,
• the horizontal foot of the post module is visible.
If there is any doubt as regards the safe condition or proper
functioning of the product, the client/the owner should be
informed and the product must not be used until the matter is
clarified.
