ENGLISH
Inspect the Roof Anchor for physical damage. Look carefully for
any signs of cracks, dents, or deformities in the metal. Check
for bending, the roof anchor legs should be at. Rivets or welds
should be securely attached and be free from cracks.
3. Inspect the Roof Anchor for signs of excessive corrosion.
4. Ensure the condition of the roof will support the Roof Anchor
load. An anchor connected to rotten or deteriorated wood
should not be used.
5. Ensure the Roof Anchor is still securely attached. If loose, do
not use.
6. Inspect each system component or subsystem per associated
manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Record the inspection date and results on the inspection log.
8. Verify that all labels are intact, in place, and legible.
9. If inspection reveals a defective condition or abnormalities in
any of these areas, remove unit from service immediately. A
competent person should be consulted to determine if that item
is safe for continued use or if it should be destroyed.
IMPORTANT: If this equipment has been subjected to forces
resulting from the arrest of a fall, it must be immediately
removed from service.
b. Compatibility
Werner Co. equipment is designed for use with Werner Co. approved
components and subsystems only. Substitutions or replacements
made with non-approved components or subsystems may
jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect the safety and
reliability of the complete system.
Connectors are considered to be compatible with connecting
elements when they have been designed to work together in
such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate
mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become
oriented. Contact Werner Co. if you have any questions about
compatibility. Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be
capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN). Connectors must
be compatible with the anchorage or other system components.
Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible
connectors may unintentionally disengage. Connectors must be
