• Carry out a pre-use check of the product, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition & operates correctly before it is
used.
• Withdraw from use any equipment where there is any doubt about its condition for safe use or if it has been used to
arrest a fall. Do not use again until it is confirmed by a competent person.
• The anchor point must have a strength of greater than 12 kN. Ensure that the structure on to which the sling is being
looped/anchored is free of sharp edges or burrs or contaminants which may damage the Anchor Sling.
• When intended to be used in a fall arrest system, it is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point should
always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the pendulum and the potential fall
distance. Ensure that the anchorage slings are installed directly above the user's head whenever possible.
• When intended to be used in fall arrest systems, it is essential for safety to verify the free space required beneath the
user at the workplace before each use, so that in case of a fall there will be no collision with the ground or other
obstacle in the fall path.
• Be aware of hazards that may affect the performance or cause failure of the equipment, such as:
• extreme temperatures (below -15°C and above +50°C)
• aggressive environmental conditions including sand & grit, cement, hot surfaces, naked flames, welding splatter,
sparks, electrical conductivity
• contact with: sharp edges, abrasive surfaces, chemicals
• Immediately stop using the product if it is exposed to any of the above or is damaged in any way until it has been
inspected by a competent person;
• The device should be used as a part of a fall arrest system, this system limit the maximum dynamic forces exerted on
the user during the arrest of a fall to a maximum of 6 kN.
• It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the
reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in the language of
the country in which the product is to be used

The anchorage sling shall only be used within a fall arrest/prevention system according to EN 363 in combination with
connector conforming to EN 362, a guided-type fall arrester on a flexible anchor line conforming to EN 353-2, a lanyard
with energy absorber conforming to EN 355, a lanyard conforming to EN 354 or a retractable type fall arrester conforming
to EN 360. The instructions for use for the individual components are to be observed at all times.
To optimise protection, in some instance it may be necessary to use the anchorage sling with suitable boots/gloves/
helmet/ear defenders. In this case, before carrying out the risk-related activity, consult your supplier to ensure that all
your protective products are compatible and suitable for your application.

(pH7). The washing temperature should not exceed 40
INSPECTION
PRE-USE CHECK
Users of JSP anchorage slings must carry out a pre-use inspection before each and every use:
• Checking the webbing and/or rope for: cuts, tears and nicks, abrasion, fraying, thinning, heat damage, mould and
paint, evidence of chemical & U.V light attack, which will be seen as discolouration, softening or hardening of the
webbing and/or rope
• Checking the stitch patterns for: broken or abraded stitches, loosened stitching, pulled and loops of stitching, long tails
of thread
• Checking the metal fittings for: rust and pitting, cracks, distortion / deformity, excessive wear
• Checking the connectors for: rust and pitting, cracks, distortion / deformity, excessive wear, functioning freely and
correctly, correct alignment of the gate,
• Checking any plastic primary or secondary components for: correct placement, cracks, distortion / deformity, excessive
wear, damage.
• Checking the legibility of the product markings.
If any defect or damage is identified, the connector should not be used. It should be taken to a competent person
responsible for the detailed recorded inspections for a thorough visual and tactile examination.
