Loading System MkII Recommended operation method
41
Any operative unloading a flatbed trailer should be wearing:
• appropriate footwear,
• reflective vest and helmet with chin strap,
• full body harness,
• harness extender 0.3 m for dorsal anchorage.
Once an operative is wearing the correct harness they can then attach the 0.3
m extender to the harness by looping it through itself, and then attach the
other end of the extender to the Retractable Fall Arrest Block, using the
karabiner fixing.
The Retractable Fall Arrest Block should be a 10 m Falcon Fall
Arrest Block to allow the operative to move freely to the farthest
extent of the trailer.
The operative must be connected to both systems before accessing
the flatbed.
Make sure that the lifelines from each retractable block don´t cross,
they should at all times run smoothly in their own reel.
