4 OPERATION MUST BE READ PRIOR TO USE Prior to use, ensure all operating procedures have been read and understood. This rope access system is only to be used by competent persons associated equipment. assessment with a safe work method procedure must be completed and approved by management prior to work commencing. This system requires periodic inspection and maintenance by a service date is overdue. A rescue plan must be devised and be ready to be implemented prior to usage of a rope access system. Authorisation to enter any risk area must be obtained from the workplace manager prior to accessing. Visually inspect the system for damage prior to use. System must not be used if there is any deterioration or deformation of any components or structure to which the system is attached. If the rope access system is damaged or has arrested a fall, discontinue height safety equipment inspector. tightening, adjustment or replacement of components must be carried out by a competent height safety inspector. Rope protectors are required wherever rope lines pass over an edge. Where rope lines will potentially damage an edge, then an edge protection device will be required to spread rope access loads during operation. Persons must not be allowed to work alone during rope access All applicable Australian Standards, WHS Acts & Regulations, and Codes of Practice & Guidelines must be read and obeyed when using this safety system. This operation manual does not in any way, replace the need for completion of a recognised rope access training course by a Registered Failure to follow all warnings, usage and maintenance instructions may result in serious injury or death. 4

Ensure all attachment hardware is correctly and securely STEP 8 edge. See page 13 for protection devices. 7

8 SAFE USE PROCEDURE STEP 9 Attach foot strap with rope grab device to safety line. STEP 10 Step into foot strap and climb over edge. Operator must ensure the descender and backup device have been positioned correctly with no slack rope line between attachment point and operator. STEP 11 Remove foot strap rope grab device from safety line and attach to tool loop on harness. STEP 12 Descend on rope lines to carry out work to be done on facade. Suitable facade protection maybe required to protect against damage. 8
