There is a risk to life if these safety instructions
are not observed!
• If you have any problems with this equipment,
please just call the BORNACK hotline for help
• Vertical fall-arrest equipment and safety
equipment may no longer be used, even in the
case of very minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious vertical fall-
arrest equipment, devices or protection equip-
ment must be immediately withdrawn and
not used.
• Inspection by an expert or the manufacturer.
Only use again after approval has been given.
Document the inspection in the test card.
• Independent modifications or repairs are pro-
hibited.
• The fall arrester SSE 02 is part of the personal
protection equipment and should be assigned
to a specific person/team and must be inspec-
ted accordingly by a specially qualified expert.
• The stationary installed SSE securing ropes are
inspected by a specially trained expert
during every tour to ensure they are safe
(recommissioning of the SSE system). This per-
son must attend a user training course for
'authorised SSE persons' at BORNACK.
• The securing system must be inspected at
greater intervals by a technically competent
expert who has been trained by BORNACK in
how to inspect the SSE system. This inspection
must be documented.
• The protective equipment may only be used by
qualified staff who are familiar with the mate-
rial and have been briefed about the possible
risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), a theoretical training course
with a practical element for personal protecti-
ve equipment of Cat. 3 is required. Make use of
the training competence of the BORNACK
training centres (see BORNACK hotline).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Accessories from other manufacturers may
only be used, if they are compatible with this
safety equipment and have has been approved
by BORNACK.
• They may not impair the function and safety
of the protection equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Set the harness to your personal measure-
ments (including clothing).
• Only use the equipment if you are fully fit.
• A harness must always be used when this fall
protection system is used as an arresting
system (free fall). The total fall path must be
taken into account.
• Protect personal protective equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
effects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks)
and chemicals (e.g. acids, alkalis) and mecha-
nical effects (e.g. loads, wear, sharp edges).
• Before starting work, the responsible person
must draw up an emergency plan (rescue
plan) which defines how to rescue casualties
quickly and safely from a vertical fall-arrest
system and ensures first aid is administered.
• The rescue operation must be completed
within a specific time period of between 10 to
30 minutes, depending on conditions
• BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-made
rescue plans and will integrate these into
future training courses!
• The national / local safety guidelines (e.g. in
Germany the guidelines issued by the profes-
sional associations BGR 198 and BGR 199) and
the accident prevention guidelines for the
specific industry must be observed.
• Possible fall path if all required PPE compo-
nents are used correctly: brake path fall arres-
ter (max. 175 cm) + (if necessary reaction time
HSG) + physical height (clear height of the
PPE) + safety reserve 1 m.
