4. INSTALLATION
4.1. ASSESSING THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
•
A formal risk assessment of the working environment and the application of the SENTRY tripod must be
conducted by a competent person prior to installation and use.
•
The information in this manual is for guidance purposes only. This manual does not remove the requirement for
a formal risk assessment by a competent person. The risk assessment must be constantly reviewed to account
for any changes to the working environment or application.
•
The surface (anchorage) where the tripod is installed, should be stable and level to prevent it sliding or tipping.
•
The stability of the tripod could be affected by the surface material that it stands on. Part of the pre-use risk
assessment should be a thorough evaluation of the ground.
!
•
Consideration MUST be given to the necessary minimum clearance below the user to prevent a collision with
the structure or the ground. The minimum clearance will depend on the type of connecting subsystem used,
and the location of the anchorage or anchorage connector.
•
Always work directly under the anchorage/anchorage connector to prevent swing falls and impact with objects
in or adjacent to the fall path.
•
The clearance below the user can be affected by the position of the fall arrest device on the leg (if mounted on
the leg).
!
•
Ensure that the feet of the tripod when it is erected are a minimum of 30 cm (1 ft) from the edge of the access
hole.
•
The work area should be free from obstructions and trip hazards.
The SENTRY tripod must be installed on a stable and level surface. The tripod feet must not
be allowed to slip during use.
IMPROPER USE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Always work directly underneath the SENTRY tripod. Always maintain adequate clearance
to allow unrestricted movements in, through and around the SENTRY tripod.
Minimize tripping events which may result in dislodging the SENTRY tripod.
IMPROPER USE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
