• Slowly pass the rope through your hands to detect small defects, abrasions and twist damage .
Feel for softening and hardening of fibres and look for ingress of contaminants
• The following defects potentially result in degradation and/or weakening of the lanyard:
•
Cut/broken fibres or nicks
•
Kinks, knots (other than those intended by the manufacturer) or hockling (unravelling due
to constant turning of the rope in the same direction, or due to shock loading)
•
Brittle, fuzzy or worn fibres, fraying or abrasions
•
Overall deterioration or discolouration
•
Any kind of modification/attempted repairs
•
Hard or shiny spots, fused fibres or strands
•
Heat or friction damage indicated by fibres with a glazed appearance which may feel harder
than surrounding fibres
•
Burnt, charred or melted fibres or strands
•
Change in diameter, compared to the original diameter (see 'Specification')
•
Rope marked with paint or a permanent marker
•
Loose, missing, deformed or damaged Rope Thimble (5)
•
Eye damage (cuts, nicks, fraying, fusing, abrasion etc .)
•
Damage to protective covers/sleeves/sheaths
•
Splices starting to unravel, or showing signs of damage or deterioration
•
Partially deployed energy absorber (e .g . short pull-out of tear webbing)
•
Damage to stitching
•
Chemical attack potentially resulting in local weakening and softening (often indicated by
flaking of the surface)
•
UV-degradation which is difficult to identify, particularly visually, but there may be some loss
of colour (if dyed) and a powdery surface
•
Contamination (e .g . with dirt, grit, sand etc .) which may result in internal or external
abrasion
•
Damaged, oxidised or deformed fittings (e.g. karabiners, screw link connectors, scaffold
hooks)
•
Inspect all other components or subsystem of the fall arrest equipment according to
manufacturer's instructions
•
Record inspection date and results in a dedicated service record (see end of this manual)
Note: Refer to 'Service life and product obsolescence' if any damage or other defects are detected
during inspection .
Cleaning
Note: Correct cleaning is essential to ensure integrity of all safety equipment . Follow the cleaning
instructions below without deviation .
• Clean the karabiner and hook by wiping it with a soft, lightly oiled cloth
• If this is not sufficient, use warm water with a mild pH neutral (pH 7) detergent, to clean off any
foreign matter . Dry thoroughly and lubricate moving parts with a suitable spray lubricant
• Clean lanyard in warm water (30 – 60°C) with a mild pH neutral (pH7) household detergent,
taking care that water does not enter underneath the protective sheath of the Energy Absorber
(3). In case of minor soiling, wipe with a cotton cloth or carefully clean using a soft brush
• DO NOT under any circumstances use any abrasive materials, acids, basic detergents or solvents
• Disinfect parts that come into contact with the operator's skin, using a disinfectant suitable for
the material of the equipment (see 'Specification'). Strictly follow the disinfectant manufacturer's
recommendations and procedures
• ALWAYS allow the equipment to dry naturally, and keep it away from open fire or any other
heat source
Note: This also applies to equipment that has become wet during use .
Lubrication
• Occasionally apply a small amount of a suitable spray lubricant, to the gate mechanism
of the karabiner and hook . Afterwards, perform a thorough inspection as described in
'Inspection procedure'
