Safety Instructions - Bornack EVO SAFETY User Manual

There is a risk to life if these safety
instructions are not observed!
• RISK OF FATAL INJURIES It is prohibited to
stand under suspended loads! Wear a helmet!
• Do not use the system even if the slightest of
faults is discovered.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious personal
protective equipment or safety devices must
be immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an
expert or a workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK. This must be documented in the
test card.
• No independent changes or repairs may be
carried out.
• Accessories from other manufacturers may
only be used if approved by BORNACK and
may not impair the function and safety of the
protective equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use the equipment if you are fully fit.
• Health impairments (e.g. taking medication,
consuming alcohol, cardiovascular problems)
can jeopardise the safety of the user when
working at heights or depths:
• If fall arresters are used, the possible fall
height and space must be observed: fall
arrester brake path (max. 175.0 cm) + physical
height (clear height of the PPE) + safety
reserve 1.0 m.
• Before using, ensure that there is enough
space below the user to prevent impact with
protruding obstacles or the ground.
• Protect the personal protective equipment
during storage, use or transport from the
effects of heat (e.g. welding flame or sparks,
hot cigarette ash) and chemicals (acids, lyes,
oils, etc.) and mechanical effects (sharp edges
etc.).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Before starting work, the responsible person
must draw up a plan of rescue measures that
defines how to rescue casualties quickly and
safely and ensures first aid measures.
Casualties must be rescued within 10 to 30
minutes.
• The responsible person must draw up an
emergency plan to evacuate the system in the
event of unforeseeable incidents (storms, fire
etc.). The system must be cleared within a
reasonable time. BORNACK can help you draw
up tailor-made rescue plans in specific trai-
ning course.
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Germany,
the guidelines issued by the professional
associations BGR 198 and BGR 199) and the
accident prevention guidelines for the specific
industry (UVV) must be observed.
