Here are the Do’s and Don’ts
DO’s
• Carry out a full visual inspection of your “Fall Arrest” system every time before use.
• Make sure that every part of your “Fall Arrest” system is fully compatible.
• Use anchorage that is located directly above the working position.
• Use approved permanent anchorage points that have been built or installed by professionals.
• Always ensure that the closing bar on the karabiner hook is locked shut. Kwiklok types do this
automatically but should be checked. Screw gate types must be screwed home manually and
checked by applying pressure against the closing bar.
• Make sure that the space you would travel through in the event of a fall is free from protrusions and
hazards.
• Ensure that your harness is fitted as close to your body as is comfortable to prevent its upward
movement in the event of a fall.
• Only use compatible ancillary equipment.
DONT’s
• Anchor to a structure that itself can fall, i.e. a free standing ladder or other loose structures.
• Use an anchorage point that will not take a shock load of 1000kg.
• Use an anchorage point that is located below the point of attachment to your harness. (Special
conditions apply to Scaffolders)
• Use waist connection points on a harness for “Fall Arrest”. Waist connection points are for work
positioning or restraint only.
• Loop lanyards around structures with sharp edges. Do not use if less than 5mm or 7/32” radius
edge.
• Use any “Fall Arrest” equipment without reading both the user manual and individual product fitting
instructions.
• Use any “Fall Arrest” equipment without familiarisation training and if possible practical training.
• Mix different manufactured products into your “Fall Arrest” system without checking and
confirming their compatibility.
• Use any “Fall Arrest” products that are showing signs of wear and tear. Return for formal inspection.
• Extend the length of your lanyard beyond 2M. For greater working distances use a Fall Arrester
Block.
• If you have any doubts on any equipment DO NOT use it.
