How to choose and use anti fall equipment correctly

1. Correctly select fall arrester equipment

Understand the working environment and needs

Evaluate the working height, the terrain and conditions of the workplace. For example, the type of fall arrester required for working on a vertical building exterior wall may be different from that for working on a sloping roof.

Consider the frequency and duration of the work to determine the durability requirements of the equipment.

Check certifications and standards

Make sure that the selected fall arrester meets the relevant national and industry certification standards, such as ISO, CE, etc.

Check whether the product has been tested and certified by an authoritative organization.

Determine the carrying capacity

Choose a fall arrester with sufficient carrying capacity based on the weight of the user and the weight of the tools that may be carried.

Generally, a certain margin should be reserved to prevent unexpected situations.

Consider the braking system

Preferably choose a fall arrester with fast and reliable braking. For example, some products with advanced braking technology can stop falling in a very short time.

Understand the working principle and maintenance requirements of the braking system.

Quality and brand

Choose well-known brands and manufacturers with a good reputation, whose product quality and after-sales service are more guaranteed.

Check the manufacturing process and material quality of the equipment.

2. Correct use of fall arrester equipment

Inspection before wearing

Before each use, carefully check whether the appearance of the fall arrester is damaged and whether the parts are loose.

Check whether the rope is worn or broken.

Correct wearing and connection

Wear the fall arrester correctly according to the requirements of the product manual and connect it firmly to a reliable fixed point.

Ensure that the connection point can withstand the impact force generated by the fall.

Adjust the appropriate length

Adjust the length of the fall arrester rope according to the needs of the operation, but ensure that there is enough buffer space.

Avoid the rope being too long or too short, which affects the protection effect.

Regular maintenance and inspection

Maintain and inspect the fall arrester at the prescribed time intervals, including cleaning, lubrication, replacement of worn parts, etc.

Record maintenance and inspection.

Training and familiarity with operation

Users should receive professional training and be familiar with the operation methods and precautions of the fall arrester.

Carry out simulation drills to ensure that they can be used correctly in actual work.

For example, on a construction site, before a worker performs aerial work, he must first choose a fall arrester suitable for the site environment and his own weight, and carefully check its status. When wearing it, strictly follow the operating procedures to connect the fall arrester to a firm fixed point, and adjust the rope length before starting the operation. During the operation, always pay attention to your own movements to avoid accidentally touching or damaging the fall arrester.

Guanhang Machinery reminds: Correct selection and use of fall arrester equipment is the key to ensuring the safety of high-altitude workers, and must be given high attention.
