Safety Instructions for Height 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.
WARNING: Specific training is essential before using this equipment. It 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) Never exceed the maximum strength force that any single element of the height safety
system is rated to withstand. The force applied to the equipment is influenced by many
factors including fall distance, load weight and attachment method. If any doubt arises as to the
specific force that is likely to be placed on the equipment, DO NOT USE IT. Seek training or expert
supervision.
c) DO NOT use components of height safety gear outside their limitations, or for applications
which they were not specifically designed for.
d) All users of height safety 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.
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 height safety 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 height safety system,
including the connectors, when determining the total length of the system.
j) The clearance under the user must be sufficient to prevent them 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 height safety 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 or 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.
p) Never expose items made with synthetic fibre components to direct flames.
q) DO NOT use shock absorbers that have been partially deployed, or when the plastic sheath
is damaged.
r) Destroy retired equipment immediately, to prevent further use.
s) Ensure the guidance provided with other parts of the height safety system (e.g., lanyards)
is adhered to, especially in regard to clearance.
t) Avoid impacts and rubbing against abrasive surfaces during use, transport and storage.
u) Carry out a risk assessment for every activity and define a rescue plan that can be safely
and rapidly executed in case of emergency.
v) All product markings must remain intact and clearly legible for the entire service life of
this equipment.
w) Store the equipment with its dedicated service record and usage instructions. Gear with
uncertain service history must be removed from service and destroyed.
x) Before using this equipment, ensure that it complies with local federal regulations and
other applicable safety standards.
y) Textile products including webbing and ropes MUST NOT be marked using ink from
marker pens or paint. These substances may potentially lead to chemical damage of the
material.
z) Store in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
