Safety Equipment
WARNING: Activities involving the use of this equipment are inherently
dangerous. ALWAYS carry out a risk assessment before work
commences, including rescue arrangements.

must only be used by competent and responsible individuals, taking care
not exceeding the limitations of the equipment.
WARNING: Failure to adhere to any warnings and recommendations
given in these instructions may result in severe injury or even death!
When using this equipment you personally assume all risks and
responsibilities for all damage, injury or death which may occur during
or following incorrect use of this equipment. You are responsible for your
own actions and decisions.
If you are unable, or not in a position to assume this responsibility
or to accept these risks, DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT.
a) NEVER use equipment that has exceeded its shelf and/or
service life.
b) This product MUST NOT be stressed beyond its strength rating.
c) DO NOT use components of fall arrest gear outside its
limitations, or for applications for which they were not specifically
designed.
d) Avoid impacts and rubbing against abrasive surfaces during use,
transport and storage.
e) DO NOT use connectors with manual locking mechanisms in
areas where they are frequently opened and closed.
f) Ensure locking mechanisms and safety devices engage securely
and connectors are fully closed and locked before use.
g) NEVER combine components that are not recommended by the
manufacturer as being compatible. One item may interfere with the
safe function of another, jeopardising the function of the system as a
whole.
h) NEVER attach a fall arrest system to an anchorage if you are
unsure about the strength and condition of the anchorage.
i) Take into account the length of every single component of a fall
arrest system, including the connectors, when determining the
total length of the system.
j) The clearance under the user must be sufficient to prevent him
from striking an obstacle in the event of a fall.
k) DO NOT allow any part of a fall arrest, work positioning or
restraint system to come into contact with sharp edges
or abrasive surfaces during use. Reposition if
necessary or choose an alternative anchorage.
l) Any component of a fall arrest system must be individually
inspected according to the manufacturer's recommendations
and procedures. After assembly, the system must be inspected as a
functional unit.
m) Any kind of repair or modification of this equipment is strictly
PROHIBITED.
n) DO NOT tie knots in harnesses, lanyards and ropes. DO NOT allow
equipment to become tangled.
o) Equipment that has been exposed to extreme conditions, failed
an inspection, or has been used to arrest a fall, must be retired
and destroyed. Never expose items made with synthetic fibre
components to direct flames.
p) DO NOT use shock absorbers that have been partially deployed,
or when the plastic sheath is damaged.
q) Destroy retired equipment immediately to prevent further use.
r) All users of fall arrest gear must be medically fit for activities at
height and must wear appropriate personal protective
equipment for the environment, work carried out, and tools used.
s) Carry out a risk assessment for every activity, and define a rescue
plan that can be safely and rapidly executed in case of emergency.
