Use ascent on a fixed rope
Correct and regular maintenance helps prevent premature ageing of PPE. For this reason, users are recommended to carefully respect all indications found in the user and maintenance manual that accompanies each PPE and to follow the simple storage and preservation rules:
- Keep away from sunlight and UV rays as these are the primary cause of ageing of PPE textile fibers
- Keep PPE away from direct heat sources as the synthetic textile fibers used to make harnesses, lanyards, and energy absorption systems have a very low melting temperature
- PPE must be stored in cool and dry areas, as humidity generates mold harmful to textile fibers and corrosive on metal parts
- A periodic cleaning operation is essential to ensure a good durability of the PPE
- A washing with lukewarm water eliminates surface dirt and that present inside the textile fibers
The current legislation requires that each equipment must be subjected to periodic inspections:
- Before, during and after use, the user must check the PPE conditions and integrity through a visual inspection after each use
- At least every 12 months, PPE must be subjected to mandatory periodic checks and inspections by competent personnel authorized by the manufacturing company
Each PPE is accompanied by a manual and identity card that must be kept for the entire use duration of the product and filled in with the periodic inspections data.
Use: access to workplace from below - ascent on a fixed rope (art. 27928/27929)
1. Both the ascent rope and the fall arrester rope must be previously secured to the anchor points at height
2. Connect the fall arrester device to the breast or back harness ring
3. Connect the handle with the ascent bracket and the descender to the ascent/descent rope. In this phase the descender acts as a blocker during the repositioning of the handle
4. To descend, simply release the handle with the ascent bracket connected and activate the descender
