Disposal
Service life and product obsolescence
WARNING: Fall arrest equipment and related restraint or work positioning equipment is
designed to arrest a fall from height ONLY ONCE! If subjected to an arrested fall, the gear must be
withdrawn from service and rendered unusable.
Note: The date on which the product is removed from the original packaging for the first time
becomes the 'date of first use', which should be recorded on the Inspection Record (see end of this
manual). The specified working life begins from this point.
•
Due to the ingress of dirt and grit, chemical contamination, edge and surface damage, UV-light
degradation and general wear and tear, all fall arrest, work positioning and restraint equipment
manufactured from synthetic fibres (webbing and/or rope) is subject to a manufacturer's
statement of obsolescence, which is a requirement of BS EN 365:2004.
•
This equipment is subject to a maximum working life of 5 years from the recorded date of first
use, providing the product has been correctly stored, maintained and subjected to regular
inspections by a trained and competent person.
•
New equipment may be stored for a maximum of 5 years from the date of manufacture, as
indicated on the product, and will still give the potential 5-year working life – providing it
remains in the original manufacturer's packaging and is used and stored in accordance with
the instructions provided.
•
If the new product is stored for longer than 5 years unopened from the date of manufacture,
the maximum remaining working life will be reduced up until 10 years from the date of
manufacture, as indicated on the product. For example, if the product is stored new and
unopened for 7 years then it is opened and used, the maximum working life of the equipment
will be the remaining 3 years.
Note: Other reasons why the product may be considered obsolete include, but are not limited to,
changes of applicable standard, regulations or legislation, development of new techniques, or
incompatibility with other equipment.
WARNING: Remove height safety equipment from service if:
•
It has been used to arrest a fall
•
Any damage is present (including corrosion and rust)
•
Identification is not evident (permanent markings are not legible or have been damaged/
removed)
•
It exceeds its specified service life
•
Its full service history is unknown
•
You have any doubt as to its integrity
