MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Good maintenance and storage of your
PPE will prolong the working-life of
your product, while also ensuring your
safety ( cf. 9 ). Be sure to comply with
these recommendations:
✔✔
The harness should be cleaned
with water and a mild soap.
Never use acid, solvents or any
solvent-based product,
✔✔
Leave to dry in a well-ventilated
area, away from sources of heat.
Store the harness away from
humidity and ultraviolet light,
✔✔
Avoid any atmosphere that is
corrosive or excessively hot or
refrigerated.
CARABINER
Connector is compliant with standard
EN 362
✔✔
When the carabiner is used for
attachment to an anchorage
point, check for compliance with
the recommendations of the
"ANCHORAGE POINT” paragraph ;
It is also possible to use a runner (EN
795) or an anchoring clamp (EN 362)
to attach oneself to an anchorage point.
WHEN CONNECTING THE
CARABINER, MAKE SURE THAT
THE LOCKING SYSTEM IS IN PLACE.
CAUTION:
The carabiner is an essential
component for your safety. We
therefore advise you to:
✔✔
Assign the connector to a single
person where possible,
✔✔
Check before each use for any
signs of deformation or, wear and
for the correct operation of the
locking system,
✔✔
If it has a manual locking system,
do not attach and remove it
several times during a working day
SIMILARLY, IF THE CARABINER HAS
BEEN USED TO ARREST A FALL,
IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SAKE
OF SAFETY,TO RETURN IT
FOR CHECKING.
TRANSPORT
During transport, check that your PPE
is stored well away from any source of
heat, damp, corrosive atmosphere,
ultraviolet rays, etc. …

attach a work positioning or retaining
system and NEVER with a fall arrest
system ( cf. 6 ).
During use, check the adjusting
and/or attaching parts regularly.
CHECKING
Before each use, carry out a thorough
visual examination to ensure that the
PPE, as well as any other equipment
that may be attached to it (connector,
lanyard, etc.) is complete. Make all
necessary arrangements for the
implementation of any rescue in total
safety. In the event of your product
being damaged, consult the
manufacturer or his agent. If you have
any doubts regarding the safe
condition of the product, or if the
product has been used to arrest a fall,
it is essential to your personal safety
that the PPE be withdrawn from
service and sent back to the
manufacturer or a qualified repair
centre for checking, or destruction.
Following examination, the centre will
either deliver or refuse written
authorisation to re-use the PPE. It is
strictly forbidden to modify or repair a
PPE yourself. Only the manufacturer
or a repair centre is qualified to carry
out these repairs.
Check the serviceable condition of the
harness : ( cf. 7 ) :
✔✔
No incipient breaks in the webbing,
✔✔
No deformation of the D-links,
✔✔
Correct operation of the buckle systems,
✔✔
Integrity of the seams,
✔✔
Good condition of the metal components.
SPACE CLEARANCE
If there is a risk of falling, or if
anchorage cannot be provided below
the attaching points of the harness, it
is essential to use a lanyard fitted with
an energy absorber Before using an
energy absorber incorporated into a
lanyard, check for a minimum space
clearance below the user’s feet as
necessary, to prevent any collision
with the structure or the ground. With
a weight of 100 kg and a fall factor of
two ( worst case scenario ), the air
clearance D is the stopping distance
H ( 2L+1.75m ) plus an additional
distance of 1 m. ( cf. 8 ).
PERIODIC EXAMINATION
These instructions must be kept with
the product. Fill in the identification
sheet and enter the markings
information. This periodic
examination, which verifies the
effectiveness and strength of the
equipment is indispensable in
guaranteeing the user’s safety. A
qualified person must examine this
equipment at least once each year, in
strict compliance with the instructions
of the manufacturer and the
examination must be recorded on the
attached sheet. The frequency of the
examination must be increased in
accordance with regulations in case of
heavy usage or in difficult
environmental conditions.
The legibility of the product markings
must be checked.
LIFESPAN
The estimated lifespan of the product
is 5 years. However, the following
factors may reduce the performance
of the product and its lifespan :
incorrect storage, improper use, fall
arrest, deformation, contact with
chemical products (alkali and acid),
exposure to sources of heat
>
60°C ( cf. 9 ).
ANCHORAGE POINT
If possible, use with structural
anchors ( compliant with EN 795 ),
that is, elements securely attached to
a structure ( wall, post, etc.). In all
cases, check that the anchorage point :
✔✔
Offers minimum resistance of 10 kN,
✔✔
Is situated above the operator,
( cf. 10 ).
✔✔
Is vertically in line with the
working surface: (maximum angle
± 30°),
✔✔
Is totally suited to the equipment
