1. Work positioning belts, full body harness, work seat harnesses:
With normal use and observation of these instructions for use, the realistic application period is 6 to 8 years.
Basis: BGR 198 - Rules for safety and health at work by the Employer's Liability Insurance Association (BG-rules)/ DE.
2. Metal fittings such as buckles, karabiners, etc.:
The life of metal fittings is generally unlimited; however a periodic inspection of metal fittings must be carried out regarding damage, distortion
and wear as well as functioning.
When different materials are used in one product, the period of use is subject to the most sensitive materials.
Extreme conditions of use can cause the elimination of a product after only using once (type and intensity of use, field of application, aggressive
environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures, chemical substances etc.).
A PFPE must definitely be discarded:
•
damage to supporting parts, which are essential for safety, such as webbings and seams (tears, cuts or other)
•
damage to plastic and/or metal fittings
•
in case of strain by a fall or heavy load
•
after the application period has elapsed
•
if a product does not seem safe or reliable anymore
•
if the product is outdated and does not comply with the technical standards anymore (modification of legal regulations, norms and technical
rules, incompatibility with other equipment etc.)
•
if the history of use is unknown or incomplete (test manual)
•
if the identification of the product does not exist or if it is illegible or missing (even partly)
•
if the instructions for use/test manual of the product are missing (because product history can not be tracked!)
•
Please also refer to item: 2) Regulations for the owner of the equipment
If the visual inspection carried out by the user, holder of the equipment or the competent person results in complaint or if the PPE has elapsed,
it has to be discarded. The elimination has to be made in such a way that reuse in action can absolutely be excluded (e.g. by cutting and
disposing of belts, fittings etc.).
In case of frequent use, intensive wear or extreme environmental influences, the allowed period of use becomes shorter. The decision on the
operational capability of the device is up to the responsible COMPETENT PERSON within the prescribed periodic inspection.

5.1
Restraint systems / work positioning systems
Work positioning systems are intended to keep the user away from areas with the risk of falling or to provide a working position, in which leaning
into the work positioning systems prevents a free fall.
The length of restraint systems must be chosen in a way that an eventual risk zone for a fall from a height cannot be reached. For work positioning
a lanyard must be adjusted in a way that the maximum height of a fall of 0.5m is not reached. Furthermore a redundant securing (fall arrester
system according to EN363) must be used, in order to be secured while accessing the work place and when being positioned at the working
place as well as during an eventual length adjustment of the lanyard at the working place.
The anchor point of the lanyard must be at or above waist level and free movement must be limited to a minimum.
