4. If a fall arrest anchor device is not in good
condition or has been used to stop a fall, all
equipment must be checked by TRACTEL
SAS or by an authorised and competent tech-
nician who must authorise in writing that the
equipment can be returned to use. A visual
inspection before each use is recommended.
5. Any modification or addition made to the
equipment cannot be done without prior writ-
ten approval from TRACTEL SAS. The equip-
ment must be transported and stored in its

been periodically examined in the last twelve
months or has stopped a fall must not be

periodic examination by an authorised and
competent technician who will authorise its
use in writing. If these tests and authorisations
are not carried out, the fall arrest system must
be destroyed.
7. The working load limit is 150 kg per operator

always determines the maximum working
load for the entire system.
