it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one
!
item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of
!
the equipment, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is used.
during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any
!
damages, excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting, especially take into
consideration:
-
in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings,
seams, loops;
-
in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors;
-
in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element,
splices;
-
in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles,
connectors, adjusting elements;
-
in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy
absorber, connector;
-
in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets
and screws, connector, energy absorber;
-
in metalic components (connectors, hooks, anchors) - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear
acting.
after every 12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use
!
to carry out periodical detailed inspection. The periodic inspection must be carried out by a competent
person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out also by the manufacturer or
his authorized representative.
in case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types of retractable fall arresters the
!
annual inspection can be carried out only by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the
!
users which depends upon the continued efficiency and durability of the equipment.
during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking. Don't
!
use the equipment with the illegible marking.
it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of
!
destination the reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and
for repair in language of the country in which the product is to be used.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise
!
about its condition for safe use and not used again until confirmed in writing by equipment
manufacturer or his representative after carried out the detailed inspection.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed (or
!
another procedures shall be introduced according detailed instruction from equipment manual) when it
have been used to arrest a fall.
a full body harness (conforming to EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can
!
be used, in a fall arrest system.
in full body harness use only attachment points marked with a capital letter "A" to attach a fall
!
arrest system.
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the
!
work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The
anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user . The shape and construction of
the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the equipment. Minimal static
strength of the anchor device/point is 12 kN. It is recommended to use certified and marked structural
anchor point complied with EN795
it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each
!
occasion of use the fall arrest system, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the
ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of the free space should be taken from
instruction manual of used equipment.
there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding
!
safety precautions that have to be observed during equipment utilization, especially: - trailing or looping
of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges, - any defects like cutting, abrasion, corrosion, - climatic
exposure, - pendulum falls, - extremes of temperature, - chemical reagents, - electrical conductivity.
personal protective equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-
!
proof textile or foil bag or cases made of steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.
the equipment can be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the manufacture
!
of the equipment. For textile products use mild detergents for delicate fabrics, wash by hand or in a
machine and rinse in water. For energy absorbers use only a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. It's
forbidden to immerse energy absorbers into the water. Plastic parts can be cleaned only with water.
When the equipment becomes wet, either from being in use or when due cleaning, it shall be allowed
to dry naturally, and shall be kept away from direct heat. In metallic products some mechanic parts
(spring, pin, hinge, etc.) can be regularly slightly lubricated to ensure better operation.
personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed, in a well-ventilated place,
!
protected from direct light, ultraviolet degradation, damp environment, sharp edges, extreme
temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances.
Using the harness in connection with personal protective equipment agains falls from a height
!
must be compatible with manual instructions of this equipment and obligatory standards:
- EN353-1, EN353-2, EN355, EN354, EN360 - for the fall arrest systems;
- EN362 - for the connectors;
- EN1496, EN341 - for rescue devices;
- EN795 - for anchor devices.

IDENTITY CARD
It is the responsibility of the user organisation to provide the identity card and to fill in the
details required. The identity card should be filled in before the first use by a competent
person, responsible inthe user organization for protective equipment. Any information about
the equipment like periodic inspections, repairs, reasons of equipment's withdrawal from use
shall be noted into the identity card by a competent person in the user organization. The
identity card should be stored during a whole period of equipment utilization. Do not use the
equipment without the identity card.
