GENERIC WORK POSITIONING CAUTIONS

This equipment is designed for use as part of a Work Positioning system;
ƒ
Work Positioning may only be adopted when a thorough Risk Assessment has demonstrated that
ƒ
the work can be performed safely and the use of other, potentially safer work equipment is not
reasonably practicable;
The user must be securely attached to at least one anchor point at all times;
ƒ
Each anchor point, and the means of attachment to it, shall be of suitable and sufficient strength
ƒ
and stability for the purposes of supporting any foreseeable loading including those in an emer-
gency contingency;
The system must be installed and used in such a way as to prevent unplanned or uncontrolled
ƒ
movement of the user;
The potential for a fall shall be minimised at all times;
ƒ
Where potential for a fall is anticipated, Fall Arrest systems shall be adopted;
ƒ
Work Positioning systems normally attach to the Ventral point on a Sit Harness. On some Work
ƒ
Positioning harnesses, the ventral point is considered to be rolling/sliding hardware
'bridge'. Consult the instructions for use of the sit harness in question for details.
