-
Adhere to the respective accident prevention regulations (e.g. working on roofs) when
installing / using the anchorage device "SYST".
-
A plan must be available that specifies rescue procedures for all possible emergencies.
-
Before starting the work, you must ensure that no objects can fall to the ground from
the work site. The area below the work site (sidewalk, etc.) must be kept clear.
-
The fitters must ensure that the substrate is suitable for fixing the anchorage device.
If in doubt, consult a structural engineer.
-
The anchorage device on the roof is designed for stress in all directions parallel to the
installation surface or at right angles to the anchor.
-
If uncertainties arise during installation it is imperative that you contact the manufacturer.
-
Document the professional fastening of the fall protection system to the building with
logs and photos of each fitting situation.
-
Ensure that stainless steel does not come into any contact with swarf or steel tools,
as this may lead to corrosion.
-
All stainless steel bolts must be greased with a suitable lubricant before installation.
(Included: Weicon AntiSeize ASW 10000 or equivalent lubricant)
-
You should plan, install and use the anchorage point in such a way that no one can
fall over the edge if the personal protective equipment is used properly.
(See planning documents at www.innotech.at)
-
When accessing the roof safety system, you must document the positions of the
anchorage devices by means of diagrams (e.g. top view of the roof).
-
The minimum free space required between the roof edge and the ground is calculated as
follows: Manufacturer's specification of the personal protective equipment used including
cable deflection according to table + body height + 1 m safety margin.
-
Fastening on the "SYST" always occurs through the anchorage eye with a carabiner
and must be used with personal protective equipment in accordance with EN 361
(safety harness) and EN 363 (fall arrest system).
