Safety Instructions - Bornack STRIPE BASIC User Manual

There is a risk to life if these safety
instructions are not observed!
• The personal protective equipment (PPE) may
no longer be used in the case of even very
minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed or dubious personal
protective equipment or safety devices must
be immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an
expert and/or a workshop authorised in
writing by BORNACK. This must be documen-
ted in the test card.
• Rope protection (arrester harness) is part of
the personal fall prevention equipment and
should be assigned to a specific person.
• The PPE may only be used by trained persons
that are familiar with the material and have
been informed about the risks. They must be
proficient in handling the personal protective
equipment and must have been briefed about
the possible risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), the users of fall protective
equipment (Category 3) must attend a theore-
tical training course and a practical training
course. To this end, make use of the training
competence of the BORNACK training centres:
info@bornack.de.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy. Health impair-
ments can jeopardise the safety of the user
when working at heights or depths.
• Calculation of the possible fall path if all
necessary PPE components are used correctly:
(if necessary braking path HSG) + surplus
lanyard (situation-dependent) + braking path
energy absorber (max. 1.75 m) + height of
D-ring (1.5 m) + safety reserve 1.0 m.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Before using, ensure adequate clearance
below the user to prevent impact on a protru-
ding object or the ground.
• Protect personal protective equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
effects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils, etc.) and mechanical effects
(e.g. sharp edges).
• The combinability and protective effect of the
PPE must be checked for each hazard situati-
on (risk assessment). The compatibility and
protective effects of the PPE must be checked
for each hazard situation (risk analyses).
• If a casualty hangs motionless in a full body
harness for a longer time, blood cannot flow
back from the legs and/or the flow may be in-
terrupted. This can lead to a suspension trau-
ma, a circulatory shock with serious to fatal
consequences.
• 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.
