nation the reseller must provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic inspection and for
repair in language of the country where the product is to be used.
• ersonal fall protection equipment must be withdrawn from use and discarded immediately (or
other procedures based on instruction manual should be applied) if it has been used to arrest a fall.
• full body harness compliant with EN 361 is the only device supporting user's body in fall arrest
systems.
• fall arrest system can be connected to attachment points (buckles, loops) on full body harness
marked with capital letter "A"
• Anchor point (device) of the fall protection equipment should have a stable structure and position
so as to prevent a possibility of the load fall and minimize a free fall distance. Anchor point of the
equipment should be located above the user's work station. The shape and construction of the anchor
device/point shall not allow for a self-acting disconnection of the equipment. Minimal strength of
the equipment anchor point should be 12kN. It is recommended to use certified and marked anchor
points of the equipment compliant with EN 795.
• It is obligatory to verify the free space required under the user at workplace before each occasion of
using the fall protection system, so that, in case of a fall, there is no collision with the ground or other
obstacle in the fall path. The required free space should be determined on basis of the data given in
the instruction manual of the equipment to be used.
• when using the equipment, pay special attention to risks affecting operation of the equipment and
the user's safety, and in particular to kinks and rope movement on sharp edges, oscillatory falls,
electrical conductivity, any damages such as cuts, abrasions, corrosion, influence of extreme tempe-
ratures, negative influence of environmental factors, chemical substances.
•Personal protective equipment must be transported in a package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-proof
textile or foil bag or cases made of steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.
•Personal fall protection equipment should be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the ma-
terials used in the production of the equipment. For textile materials (webbings, ropes) use agents
suitable for delicate fabrics. Rinse thoroughly. Clean energy absorbers using damp cloth only. Do
not immerse energy absorber in water. Wash textile products with water only. When the equipment
becomes wet, either from being in use or after cleaning, allow it to dry naturally, and keep it away from
sources of heat. In metallic products lubricate slightly some mechanical parts (springs, hinges, pawls,
etc.) regularly to ensure their better operation.
•Personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed in well-ventilated rooms, protected
from direct light, UV degradation, dust, sharp edges, extreme temperatures and aggressive chemical
substances.
•all parts of a fall protection equipment must conform to instruction manuals for the equipment and
standards in force:
- EN 353-1, EN 353-2, EN 354, EN 355, EN 360 - Fall arrest systems;
- EN 362 - Connectors
- EN341, EN1496, EN1497, EN1498 - Rescue equipment
- EN 361 - Full body harness;
- EN 813 - Sit harness;
- EN 358 - Work positioning systems;
- EN 795 - Anchor devices.
