
Prior to ascending, test the holding capability
of the equipment by moving from left to right
to check the lanyard slides freely.

Check to ensure that the geometry of the
structure allows the use of a work positioning
system (small diameters of posts, trunks, etc. as
well as sharp edges are not permitted).

Adjust the lanyard to be able to work
comfortably, with both hands free.

In the work position, adjusting the work
positioning lanyard must not allow a free fall
greater than 0.50m.

Check to ensure that the positioning lanyard is
always taut.

A belt equipped with a backrest must be used
for extended periods of positioning work.

While in use, regularly inspect the adjustment
and/or attachment elements.
3-2 WARNING
Tool holders or other metallic elements (cf. Fig. XII
p.12) which are not identified as anchorage points
must never be used with a fall arrest, work positioning,
or retention system. Suspender-mounted tool holders
may carry a maximum load of 2 kg. If the load applied
to the tool holder is greater than the maximum load
or if you pull sharply on the tool holder ring, the ring
will detach from the plate. If the ring comes off, it is
possible to attach it back to the plate without any
impairing the safety harness' reliability.
Belt-mounted tool holders can carry a maximum load
of 30 kg.
For a fall arrest harness to be fully effective, it must be
adjusted properly (cf. Fig. XIII p.12)

3-3 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Every time a fall protection system is used, an
evacuation plan must first be established to deal with
any emergency that may occur (e.g., rescue after a fall)
and allow for the fastest possible evacuation under the
best possible conditions (e.g., presence of a stretcher
or access capability for firemen, etc.)

4-3 LIFESPAN
The maximal life of PPE that is predominantly textile
is evaluated as being 10 years after the date of
manufacture. However, the following factors may
reduce the performance of the product and its
lifespan: intensive use, incorrect storage, improper
use, fall arrest, deformation, contact with chemical
products (alkali and acid), exposure to sources of heat
> 60°C, exposure to high sources of cold <-30 ° C, high
exposure to ultraviolet rays, dirty environment, or very
wet environment. (cf. Fig. XIV p.12).
