Safety instructions
Periodic inspection/inspection after a fall
To ensure the function and safety of the components, a safety
inspection of the SkyReach Anchor, the attachments and the
PFPE, needs to be done by a competent person at least once
every 12 months. The inspections must be documented into a
component record.
If an accident has occurred, e.g. a person has fallen, the items must
be immediately withdrawn from use and inspected by a competent
person according to the manufacturer's safety check.
Please contact Combisafe for more information regarding
inspections and associated documentation.
NOTE
The SkyReach Anchor is designed to deform if a fall occurs, to
absorb the energy and reduce the arising forces. When tested,
the maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point is 0,7 m.
Rescue
If there is a need to rescue a person that has fallen, the
SkyReach Anchor can provide help by using a SafEscape Elite
(Part No. CM1028770) and Webbing Anchorage Sling (Part
No. CM1002918). By looping the sling round the lower section
of the mast of the SkyReach Anchor, a rescue operation can be
performed. It is not allowed to connect the SafEscape to the
anchor point of the SkyReach Anchor. Remember that a rescue
operation can only be performed by a person that has been trained
to use the SafEscape. Thus, no rescue method can be described
in this User Instruction. The operation needs to be planned by the
Safety Manager at the site and evaluated to the actual case with a
separate risk analysis.
Remember
• Plan the fall prevention at an early stage, this will benefit everyone.
• Use only safety-checked products.
• Restrict access below and around the installation and working area to
prevent injury to others from any fall hazard.
• Use tools designed for the type of work to be carried out.
• Keep the installation area in order.
• A safe workplace is a good workplace.
• Many fall accidents occur from a low height.
