USING THE WEBBING SLING
Put the webbing sling around a construction element (structural anchor point) and
connect D-rings with oval type snap hook - drawing
energy absorber with lanyard, guided type fall arrester or retractable type fall arrester) to
the webbing sling with the snap hook - drawing
Attention:
Use only a certyfied (EN 362)snap hooks.
The structural anchor point should has minimal strength of 15 kN.
The shape of the structural anchor point should not let self-acting disconnection of the sling

The minimal width of the element crossection should be not less than 10mm - drawing
The webbing sling length and cros-section dimensions of construction element should be
so matched that the angle between ends of the sling after its connection is not bigger than 90°

THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF USE OF PPE AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
personal protective equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe
use.
personal protective equipment must not be used by a person with medical condition that could
affect the safety of the equipment user in normal and emergency use.
a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
it is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's
prior written consent.
any repair shall only be carried out by equipment manufacturer or his certified representative.
personal protective equipment shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other
than that for which it is intended.
D
.
personal protective equipment should be a personal issue item.
before use ensure about the compatibility of items of equipment assembled into a fall arrest
system. Periodically check connecting and adjusting of the equipment components to avoid
accidental loosening or disconnecting of the components.
it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one
item is affected by or interferes with the safe function of another.
before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of
the equipment, to ensure that it is in a serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is
used.
during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any
damages, excessive wear, corrosion, abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting.
after every12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use
to carry out periodical detailed inspection. The periodic inspection must be carried out by
a competent person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out also by the
manufacturer or his authorized representative.
regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the
users which depends upon the continued efficiency and durability of the equipment.
during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking.
it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of
destination the reseller shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic
examination and for repair in language of the country in which the product is to be used.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise
about its condition for safe use and not used again until confirmed in writing by equipment
manufacturer or his representative after carried out the detailed inspection.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed when it
have been used to arrest a fall.
a full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest
system.
in full body harness use only attaching points marked with big letter "A" to attach a fall arrest
system.
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the
work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance.
The anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user . The shape and
construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the
equipment. It is recommended to use certified and marked structural anchor point complied with
EN795.
it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each
occasion of use the fall arrest system, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the
ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of the free space should be taken from
instruction manual of used equipment.
