Vertic RCBC Notice D'utilisation page 9

Mobile fall arresters including stainless steel components should not be installed in a highly corrosive atmosphere (for example, above a
swimming pool) because of the risk of corrosion cracking under invisible stress, unless specific control measures are in place. are implemented
or compatibility is established
The product should not be used beyond its limits, or in any other unforeseen situation. Before any use, a rescue plan must be put in place to
deal with any emergency that may arise during work. It should of course be considered before and during use that this possible rescue is carried
out effectively and safely. In the emergency situation, it is not allowed to use the rigid belay support. The operations must be carried out using
a separate personal protection system.
IMPORTANT - PREVENTION:
Before any use
In height, your life depends on the material used. Any doubt about the safety of the device should be reported to the manufacturer as well as
the installation manager.
A fall arrest harness conforming to EN 361 is the only body grip device that is permitted to be used in a fall arrest system. A harness must be
adapted to the size, properly adjusted and adjusted to the size of the user
The fall arrest harness should be properly adjusted so that it is perfectly adjusted and should not be used if it is loose. If the harness loosens
during the ascent or descent, readjust it properly from a safe location.
The durability of the support must be checked in accordance with use.
A rescue plan must be put in place to deal with any emergency that may arise during work.
In a fall arrest system it is essential to check the free space under the user before and during use, in order to avoid any collision with the ground
or an obstacle during the fall.
The trolley must not be used in the working position. If maintenance in the working position is necessary, a separate system should be used.
A danger can arise when using several devices in which the safety function of one of the devices can be affected by the safety function of the
other device.
CAUTION DANGER: please ensure that your equipment does not rub on abrasive materials or sharp parts which can harm their integrity, in
particular the energy absorber in textiles
As the truck is delivered with its specific connector, it is not possible to change the components independently.
Use only VERTIC parts to ensure compatibility of the parts when assembling the VERTIRAIL system.
CHECK - POINTS TO CHECK
Check that the instructions for using the safety rail are displayed on the panel reserved for this purpose.
Make sure the product markings are legible.
Check that the fall arrest system you have is compliant and compatible with those recommended.
Check that the periodic checks and maintenance of the safety rail are up to date.
Perform a visual and functional check of the entire safety rail as well as the RCBC and its textile absorber. The fixed end stop includes plastic
elements, in the event of deterioration the safety of the user is not engaged, only the comfort of use will be degraded. Use the system
identification and verification sheet to carry out these checks.
For each installation, a qualified person must check and certify that the anchoring device is adequate for the secure area and with the strength
of the structure and interfaces on which it is installed. This verification may be done by calculation or by testing. Particular attention will be
paid to the choice of fasteners.
The strength of the anchoring device is directly linked to the quality of the support. Its conformity can only be established if the materials
constituting the support are free from any manufacturing defect or drop in performance (aging, overload, corrosion, etc.)
The force induced by the fall is at most 12kN, its orientation depends on the installation inclination but will probably be directed towards the
ground.
After a fall, do not use the system again until it has been checked and brought back into conformity by a competent person authorized by the
manufacturer.
