3. REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF SAFETY
3.1 Training
To ensure safe work, each user must be trained and qualified. You can contact the Manufacturer Innova Public Utility Products,
Inc., or the authorized Service Center in order to configure a training program.
The users must have read and understood the Manual. They must be in good health and judged to be mentally stable; they must
not suffer from vertigo and must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol so that their safety may not be hindered during
normal use of the equipment or in the event of an emergency.
Prior to any use and to ensure safety, it is imperative that you check the clearance below the user in the work place,
so that in the event of a fall, no collision with the ground can occur and no obstacle can be found on the trajectory.
In order to ensure that it is usable and that it operates correctly, the user will have to verify before each use that:
• The system does not present any excessive wear, cracks or traces of corrosion
• The anchoring plates A2002-22N and the anchor points do not show any deformation.
• The connection pins are present and properly installed.
• The nuts and bolts are tightened properly
• The labels are present and can be read.
• The system is valid and the date of the last or next inspection is indicated.
If the system has stopped a fall or has been damaged, it will then have to be immediately removed from service. Please
state clearly that the fall protection system is “UNUSABLE.” It will then have to go through a proper inspection and
maintenance, in accordance with section "6. INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE" on page 31. It can only
be reactivated if a qualified person, a certified service center or the manufacturer authorizes its use in writing.
Please verify prior to any use that all of the equipment used in the fall arrest system (fall arrest full body harness compliant
with EN 361, automatic fall prevention device compliant with EN 360, shock absorber compliant with EN355 and
connection elements compliant with EN 362) is working properly as per the Manufacturer’s operating instructions. Not all
of the equipment used in the fall arrest system has been tested together. A hazard is likely to occur when using multiple
items in which the safety function of one of the items is affected by or interferes with the security function of another item.
To ensure safety, the anchoring connector must always be placed correctly, and the work must be performed in a way
that reduces the risk of falls as well as the height of falls. To ensure optimal use, it is preferable that the anchoring device
must imperatively be placed above the user’s position.
We advise users to avoid environmental hazards. Frequent inspections are required during the presence of environmental
risks. Please refer to section "5. USE" on page 25 to learn more.

5. USE
Section "3. REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF SAFETY" on page 11 must be read and followed closely. Not doing
so may cause injuries, including death.
Make sure you avoid any fall or impact coming from objects in the trajectory of the fall or in its vicinity. Always remove any
obstructions located under the work zone to ensure that the fall trajectory is clear. Please make sure that the work zones
are free of debris, obstructions, tripping hazards, spills or any other risks that may hamper the safe use of the anti-fall
system. DO NOT use the system before the work environment has been inspected by a qualified and competent person
and he/she has determined that the risks identified could be eliminated and the exposure to could be avoided.
Work directly under the anchor/connector, if possible. The free fall distance and the risk of falls increases when you are
not working directly under the anchor/connector. A full body harness is the only acceptable body device that can be used
in a fall arrest system.

6. INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
All the systems have been designed to operate for at least 10 years provided that they have been used within the limits of their
design, as well as maintained, inspected and stored in accordance with this manual. Any system must immediately be removed
from circulation if its safety is in doubt or if it was used to arrest a fall. It will then have to go through a proper inspection and
maintenance, in accordance with this section.
6.1 Inspection
A visual inspection of the anchoring connector is required before using it to make sure it has no damage or defect. It is also
required to carry out an annual inspection of the system by a qualified or competent person, according to the manufacturer’s
requirements or those of the service center. It is recommended to increase the frequency of these verifications when increasing
the use of the system. These periodic verifications are necessary since user safety is directly related to regular maintenance or
the repairing of system components.
Following every annual inspection, a label with the date of the last or the next annual inspection should be affixed on the equipment.
If one of the damages or defects described above if observed, please contact a service center or the manufacturer to obtain help.
6.2 Maintenance
During a visual or annual inspection, the general condition of the system must be inspected, including the adapter, for the presence
of cracks, excessive dirt, rust, warping or excessive wear. Make sure all necessary parts and components, including pins and
straps are present. Ensure that all the bolts and nuts are properly tightened and all the labels can be read. Regularly clean the
system components with water and a soft detergent. New labels can be obtained upon request. The results should be recorded
in writing on the maintenance and inspection sheet.
Equipment maintenance can be done by a competent or qualified person, as well as a service center or the manufacturer.
Equipment repair must be done exclusively by a service center or the manufacturer. Repairs will be supported for the design life
of the system, after which they will no longer be supported.
6.3 Storage
Store the system in a dry and clean place, away from direct sunlight. The system must not come into contact with corrosive or
aggressive materials, nor be stored in extreme temperatures. It is recommended to store and transport the anchorage connector
