SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 GENERAL
The following safety instructions and the latest technical developments must be
taken into account.
- The safety system may only be assembled by competent, qualied persons who are
familiar with the safety system. It may only be assembled in accordance with the
latest technical developments.
- The protective equipment may only be used by persons who:
• have been trained to use "Personal Protective Equipment" (PPE).
• are physically and psychologically sound. Health restrictions such as
cardiovascular problems, medication use, alcohol consumption, etc.
decrease user safety.
• are familiar with the locally applicable safety rules.
- During assembly / use of the safety system, the applicable accident prevention regu-
lations (e.g. for work on roofs) must be observed, as well as the rules and norms for
the use of personal protective equipment for fall prevention.
- The possibilities, limits and risks when using the protective equipment must be
understood and accepted.
- A plan must be in place that includes lifesaving measures for all possible emergenci-
es (e.g. at least two INNOTECH "VERT-GLEIT-50‟, ...).
- Before beginning work, measures must be taken to ensure that no objects can fall
down from the working area. The area under the working area (sidewalk, etc.) must
be kept clear.
- Every safety system is subject to maximal load limits. These are visible on the serial
plate of the safety system and must not be exceeded.
- The serial plate of the safety system must be posted in a place which is visible for
the user.
- Should any renovation work be done in the immediate vicinity of the safety system
after receipt of the system, it must be veried that this work has no impact on the
safety provided by the installed system! In case of doubt, a structural engineer or
the manufacturer should be consulted.
- After stress on the system from a fall, the entire safety system must be taken out
of operation and tested by a qualied professional (component parts, anchors to the
substructure, etc.).
- If use of the safety system is to be allowed to external contractors, their understan-
ding of these user instructions is to be conrmed in writing.
