Safety Instructions - ST Quadrat LUX-top FALZ-PLUS Manuel D'utilisation

Introduction
Before installing
roof/substructure must be checked. In case of doubt seek the advice of a
structural engineer! The technical building regulations must be complied with.
Do not make any changes to the anchor device and only use original parts of the
anchor system.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

If using the anchor device as part of a fall arrest system, for safety reasons, before
•
each use it is essential to ensure the necessary clear space below the user at the
workplace, so that in case of a fall it is not possible for them to hit the ground or any
other obstruction!
In the event of a fall
•
the resulting deformation of the anchor device (up to 20 cm) must be taken into
account in the arrest distance.
The minimum clear space required below the system user is calculated from:
Deformation of the anchor device
+ fully open length of the energy absorber according to its instructions for use
+ elongation of the connection rope or cable due to extension
+ displacement of the full body harness on the body
+ height of the user
+ safety clearance of 1.0 m
If there is insufficient clear space below the user, the anchor device may only
•
be used with a restraint system and must be labelled accordingly. To this end,
also note and follow the instructions for use for the other personal fall protection
equipment (PFPE).
In case of horizontal use, only use lanyards, which are suitable for this type of use and
•
which are tested for the applicable loading and stressing due to the corresponding
edge design.
The anchor device may only be installed and used by trained persons, who are familiar
•
with these user instructions and with handling PPE against falls from a height and are
physically and mentally suitable for the task. Health restrictions (e.g. cardiovascular
problems, medication) can endanger the safety of the system user when working at
heights.
Use of the system for purposes other than those for which it is intended, e.g. by
•
hanging undefined loads, is not allowed.
The anchor device may only be used for attaching the PFPE (personal fall protection
•
equipment) to EN 363, consisting, for example of a full body harness (EN 361),
lanyard (EN 354) and energy absorber (EN 355).
