Important Recommendations - Tractel LCR 06 Manuel D'installation, D'emploi Et D'entretien

1. Important Recommendations

1. Before using a work position securing lanyard,
it is essential for safe use of equipment and its
efficiency, that the operator reads and understands
the information provided in the TRACTEL SAS
manual. This manual must be constantly available
to any user. Additional copies may be provided by
Tractel SAS on request.
2. Before using this safety equipment, you must be
trained in its use. Check the state of associated
equipment and ensure that there are no obstacles
below the working area.
3. A work position securing lanyard can only be
used by a person trained and competent or by an
operator under the supervision of such a person.
4. If a work position securing lanyard is not in obvious
good condition, the entire equipment set should be
checked by TRACTEL SAS or by an approved and
competent technician who can provide written
authorisation to return the system to use. We
recommend a visual inspection before each use.
5. No modification or addition may be made to
the equipment without prior authorisation from
TRACTEL SAS. The equipment should be
transported and stored in its original packaging.
6. Any work position securing lanyard that has
not undergone periodical inspection within the
previous 12 months must not be used. It may not
be used again until a new periodical inspection has
been carried out by an approved and competent
technician who can provide written authorisation
to return it to use. Failing this examination and
authorisation, the work position securing lanyard
will be disassembled and destroyed.
7. The maximum working load is 150 kg forthe work
position securing lanyard.
8. If the weight of the operator plus their equipment
and tooling is comprised between 100 and 150
kg, it is essential that you check that this total
weight (operator + equipment + tools) does not
exceed the maximum working load of any of the
equipment comprising the fall arrest system.
9. This equipment is suitable for use on a worksite
in the open air and within a temperature range
of -35°C and +60°C. Avoid all contact with sharp
edges, abrasive surfaces and chemical products.
10. If you must assign the equipment to an employee
or similar person, please comply with the relevant
labour regulations.
11. The operator must be in excellent physical and
mental health in order to use this equipment.
If in doubt, consult your doctor or occupational
therapist. Prohibited to pregnant women.
12. The equipment must not be used beyond its limits,
or in any situation other that that for which it is
designed: see '4. Functions and description'.
13. We recommend that each operator be allocated
their own work position
especially if this is an employee.
14. Before using an EN 363 fall arrest system, the
user must ensure that each of the components
is in good operating condition: safety system
and locking. When setting up, there should be no
damage to safety functions.
15. In a fall arrest system, it is essential for safety
reasons, to check the free space required by the
operator in the workplace before use, so that in
case of a fall there is no chance of collision with
the ground, or the presence of any other obstacle
in the path of the fall.
16. A fall arrest harness is the only body support
available to the fall arrest system user.
17. It is essential for the safety of the operator that
the fall arrest system, the anchor point and the
lifeline are positioned correctly and that the work
is achieved in order to minimise the risk of falls
and their height.
18. For the operator's safety, if the equipment is sold
outside of it original destination country, the dealer
must provide: a manual, maintenance instructions,
instructions for periodical inspections and repairs,
all in the language of the country in which the
equipment will be used.
19. The LCR / LCM 06 is a workstation securing
lanyard, compliant with the EN 358 standard.
This equipment can only be used by one person,
equipped with a work position support belt.
(EN 358). This equipment is not a fall arrest
system; it should not be used on its own if there
is any risk of falling. If the securing lanyard is used
in a situation where there is a risk of falling, it is
essential that it be used in conjunction with a fall
arrest system combined with an EN 361 harness.
20. During use, the adjustment and attachment
elements must be checked. Check also that the
equipment is protected against any hazards: sharp
edges, friction, sources of heat, etc..
