There is a risk to life if these safety
instructions are not observed!
• The personal protective equipment (PPE) may
no longer be used even in the case of very
minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious personal
protective equipment or safety devices must
be immediately withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by an
expert or a workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK. This must be documented in the
test card.
• No independent changes or repairs may be
carried out.
• The full body harness is part of the personal
fall protection equipment and should be
assigned to a specific person.
• The personal protective equipment may only
be used by qualified staff that are familiar
with the material. They must be proficient in
handling the personal protective equipment
and must have been briefed about the possi-
ble risks associated with its use.
• In compliance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), users of PPE for fall protec-
tion purposes (Category ) must undergo
practical and theoretical training. Make use of
the training competence of the BORNACK
training centres: hotline@bornack.de.
• Accessories from other manufacturers may
only be used if approved by BORNACK and
may not impair the function and safety of the
protective equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable for the
task at hand and the weather conditions.
• Only use the equipment if you are fully fit.
• Health impairments (e.g. the use of medicines
or alcohol, heart of blood circulation prob-
lems) can jeopardise the safety of the user
when working at heights or depths.
• Protect personal protective equipment during
storing, use and transportation against the
eects of heat (e.g. welding flames or sparks,
burning cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils) and mechanical eects (e.g. sharp
edges).
• Possible fall path if all required PPE compo-
nents are used correctly: brake path fall
arrester (max. cm) + (if necessary reaction
time HSG) + physical height (clear height of
the PPE) + safety reserve m.
• If users remain suspended without moving
for a long time in a full body harness the
blood circulation from the legs may be restric-
ted or blocked. This can lead to a suspension
trauma and anaphylactic shock, with serious
or even fatal consequences.
• Before starting work, the responsible person
must draw up a plan of rescue measures that
defines how to rescue casualties quickly and
safely and ensures first aid measures. Casual-
ties must be rescued within to minutes.
BORNACK can help you draw up tailor-made
rescue plans in specific training courses:
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Germany,
the guidelines issued by the professional
associations BGR and BGR ) and the
accident prevention guidelines for the specific
industry (UVV) must be observed.
• Application temperature: - °C to + °C.
• Check compatibility with other PPE parts.
• Set the full body harness to your physical
measurements (including clothing).
