INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the
Horizontal Safety Line to aid future inspection
and examination. Examination by a
competent person at intervals of 12 months
is mandatory under European law. The
Horizontal Safety Line should also be
examined before every use by the
user/installer, particular attention being paid to
the following:-
Webbing - check for cuts, cracks, tears,
abrasion and scorch marks, burns or chemical
attack.
Stitching - Look for broken stitch, loose or
worn threads.
Metalware - Inspect for signs of damage or
distortion and that all moving parts and
springs are fully operational.
The HSL should be removed from service and
inspected after being subjected to any fall.
Local abrasion as distinct from general wear
may be caused by the passage of the
webbing over sharp edges or protrusions
while under tension and may cause serious
loss of strength. Slight damage to outer fibres
and occasional yarn may be considered
harmless but serious reduction in width or
thickness of the webbing or serious distortion
to the weave pattern should lead to rejection.
NOTE: As a guide to establish how much
wear is acceptable a distinct black thread
is woven into the selvedge of the red
webbing.(Fig.M) When this becomes
clearly visible it should be taken out of
service. The HSL can be inspected and
refurbished by SpanSet, for further details
of the level of service in your area, contact
your supplier or SpanSet.
