It's reminded that persons may be lifted only by means of work equipment and
accessories provided for that purpose.
However, in accordance with the 2006/42 (article 15) et 2009/104 (Annexe
II - §3.1.2) directives, exceptionally, work equipment which is not specifically
designed for the purpose of lifting persons may be used for that purpose, provided
appropriate action has been taken to ensure safety
legislation and/or practice providing for appropriate supervision.
In this case, while workers are on work equipment designed for lifting loads the
control position must be manned at all times. Persons being lifted must have
reliable means of communication. In the event of danger, there must be reliable
means of evacuating them.

In order to ensure partially these conditions, Honeywell recommends minimal use of a fall arrest
system in conjunction with the winch, connected to the back D ring of the worker's harness (e.g. via the
Mightevac system).
PPE products have undergone a standard EC examination with a notified body,
which ensure an EC certificate confirming that all equipment and corresponding
