Fall arrestor equipment in use

Fitting fall arrestora Fit a fall arrestor onto rail profile at end or at removal point. Make sure that the „up“ arrow points upwards.b Attach fall arrestor to central ventral attachment point. WARNING LETHAL HAZARD: Do not extend using connecting slings or additional hooks!• If let go, the fall arrestor automatically blocks on the rail. Test the function of the fall arrestor equipment by running it up and down the rail by hand. If moved suddenly or let go, the arrestor must automatically block!

Using the fall arrestorc Lean into „link A“ of the fall arrestor slightly while climbing (horizontal pull = back support), keeping it unblocked.• Keep movement constant and calm when climbing up or down, move arrestor with you.• Don´t lean into „link B“ (Chest). Keep your body in upright position during climbing. If the body turns away from this position (through fall, or unconsciousness) cam B will block imedia- tely and activate cam A.d The user can quickly adopt a comfortable resting position by moving up and manually blocking the arrestor for a seating/ hanging position in the harness.

• WARNING: The fall arrestor must be blocked before sitting and hanging in the harness in a resting position!• The blocked fall arrestor can easily be released by gently lifting the hook.• Always secure with a positioning-lanyard (e.g. MANUSTOP) or with a energy-absorbing lanyard according to EN 355 or CSA Z259.11-05 (e.g. BFD 1.5m). The lanyard is to be kept tout in order to exclude the possibility of free fall. The lanyard is to be attached at a safe anchor-point such as the rail. Avoid sidewards leaning in the fall arrestor!• Only remove the fall arrestor from the rail in a secure position. (platform or similar, behind a railing or barrier, with lanyard secured or similar.)• Store fall arrestor and harness in a protected place after use.

The equipment should only be inspected by an expert or a workshop that has been authorised in writing by BORNACK. This needs to be documented in the inspection card.• Autonomous modifications or repairs are prohibited.• The rope protection is part of the personal protection equipment to prevent falling and should be allocated to a specific person.• The PPE may only be used by trained persons that are familiar with the material and know how to use the equipment safely, and have been trained in the risks associated with its use.• In accordance with the accident prevention regulations, a theoretical and practical training course is necessary for users of the PPE fall protection equipment. Please make use of the training competence of the BORNACK training centres – BORNACK-hotline• Accessories from other manufactures may only be used if approved by BORNACK; they may not impair the function or safety of the protective equipment.• Clothing and shoes should be suitable for the respective weather conditions.• Only use when completely healthy.• Health-related restrictions may impair the safety of the user when working at heights or depths.• When using this PPE as a catching system (freefall is possible), a harness in accordance with EN 361 must always be used.• Select the highest possible suspension point.• Protect the PPE during storage, use or transportation against the effects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks, hot cigarette ash) and chemicals (acids, lyes, oils, etc.) and mechanical effects (sharp edges etc).• Before work is commenced, an emergency plan (rescue plan) needs to be drawn up for the respective work situation by the responsible person stating how a person who has fallen can be safely and quickly rescued from the hanging situation and first aid administered. Rescue actions like this need to be performed within 10 to 30 minutes. BORNACK assists you here by drawing up tailored rescue plans and incorporating your rescue plan into the training courses.
