RAILSTOP RS-S05 - Hewall Safety Sweden AB

• The suspension point for the rope protection
needs to be adequately strong (EN 795) and
positioned correctly. If possible, a suspension
point overhead should be selected.
• Select the highest possible suspension
point.
• When using this PPE as a fall arrest system
(freefall is possible), a harness in accordance
with EN 361 must always be used.
• The possible freefall height must be kept as
short as possible. The whole possible fall
path should be noted. There is a risk of hitting
protruding building parts or even the
ground. There is a risk of injury when swinging
after a fall.
• With fall arrest systems, it is imperative for
safety that, every time before the system is
used, steps are taken to check that the required
clearance below the user has been
calculated adequately to ensure that, in case
of a fall, the person cannot impact a protruding
obstacle or hit the ground.
• When using the personal protection equipment
vertically (as designated in EN 353-1,
EN 353-2, etc.) note that within the required
clearance, impact with the ground cannot
be ruled out.
For this reason, special care must be taken
within the first 2 metres above ground.
• Possible fall distance if all the required PPE
components are used properly: Braking distance
energy absorber (max. 175 cm) + (if
nec. reaction time HSG) + body height (clearance
height of the PPE) + safety reserve 1 m

• Protect the PPE during storage, use or transportation
against the effects of heat (e. g.
welding flames or sparks, hot cigarette ash)
and chemicals (acids, lyes, oils, etc.) and mechanical
influences (sharp edges etc).
• Before work is commenced, an emergency
plan (rescue plan) needs to be drawn up for
the respective work situation by the responsible
person stating how a person who has
fallen can be safely and quickly rescued from
a hanging position and first aid administered.
Rescue actions like this need to be
performed within 10 to 30 minutes. BOR-
NACK assists you here by drawing up tailored
rescue plans and incorporating your
rescue plan into the training courses.

• The local safety regulations (e. g. in Germany
the BGR regulations BGR 198, 199 of the professional
associations) and the relevant industry-specific
accident prevention regulations
are to be observed.
• The temperature range for using the textile
personal protection equipment against falling
is +80 °C to –40 °C. The temperatures for
personal protection equipment systems can
be found in Part 1 of the user manual
• The PPE must be inspected at least once a
year by an authorised person. The result of
this must be documented in the inspection
card.
