SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There is a risk to life if these safety instructions
are not observed!
• The personal protection equipment may no
longer be used even in the case of very minor
faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious personal
protection 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be immediately withdrawn and not used.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.
• The rope protection (arrester harness) is part
of the personal protection equipment to
prevent falling and should be assigned to a
specific person.
• The personal protection equipment may only
be used by qualified staff that are familiar
with the material. They must be proficient in
handling the personal protection equipment
and must have been briefed about the possible
risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident prevention
guidelines (UVV), the users of fall protection
equipment (Category ) must attend a theoretical
training course and a practical training course.
Make use of the training competence of the
BORNACK training centres:
• Accessories from other manufacturers may
only be used if approved by BORNACK and
may not impair the function and safety of the
protection 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 can jeopardise the safety
of the user when working at heights or
depths.
• Protect personal protection 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).
• 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. Casualties
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.
