FEATURES & BENEFITS

MULTI OPERATOR RAIL SYSTEM PROVIDING EFFORTLESS LATERAL MOBILITY & EASE OF OPERATION

LONG SPAN SECTION Spanning up to 6000mm using long span attachment

T-NUT MOUNT Connects fixing brackets to rail system

SUSPENSION BRACKET Provides connection of rail to support structure suspension system

MULTI DIRECTION TROLLEY Alternative to the standard trolley which can be loaded 2 directions

SEALED BEARING TROLLEY Provides connection point for rope lines

RAIL SPLICE JOINER KIT Used to join multiple rail sections together

MOUNTING SLOT Provides adjustable positioning of mounting brackets

END STOP Provides the trolley termination point

ROPE ACCESS TROLLEYFOR EFFORTLESS MOBILITY The robust sealed bearing trolley ensures effortless operator mobility when used as a rope access or fall arrest system. Lateral stabilising bearings allow the trolley to function normally when angled or side loading is required providing unlimited flexibility for positioning the rail to best suit the application and safety of the operator.

OPERATION

MUST BE READ PRIOR TO USE

1. Prior to use, ensure all operating procedures have been read and understood.

2. This rope access system is only to be used by competent persons who have experience and training in the safe use of the system and associated equipment.

3. Ensure all WHS requirements are identified and understood. A risk assessment with a safe work method procedure must be completed and approved by management prior to work commencing.

4. This system requires periodic inspection and maintenance by a qualified rope access inspector. The system MUST NOT be used if the service date is overdue.

5. A rescue plan must be devised and be ready to be implemented prior to usage of a rope access system.

6. Authorisation to enter any risk area must be obtained from the workplace manager prior to accessing.

7. Only approved rope access harness, gear and equipment certified to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4488, to be used with this system.

8. 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.

9. If the rope access system is damaged or has arrested a fall, discontinue use until it has been fully inspected and recertified by a competent height safety equipment inspector.

10. Ensure all fixings, fittings and components are securely attached. Any tightening, adjustment or replacement of components must be carried out by a competent height safety inspector.

11. Rope protectors are required wherever rope lines pass over an edge.

12. Where rope lines will potentially damage an edge, then an edge protection device will be required to spread rope access loads during operation.

13. Persons must not be allowed to work alone during rope access operations in case emergency rescue assistance or first aid is required.

14. All applicable Australian Standards, WHS Acts & Regulations, and Codes of Practice & Guidelines must be read and obeyed when using this safety system.

15. This operation manual does not in any way, replace the need for completion of a recognised rope access training course by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Failure to follow all warnings, operation and maintenance instructions may result in serious injury or death.

MUST BE READ PRIOR TO USE

1. Only to be used by competent persons with proof of training by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in the use of height safety and rope access systems.

2. Harness gear is susceptible to deterioration when exposed to chemicals or hazardous environments and must be approved by the manufacturer for use in these applications.

3. The Raptor rope access rail system is suitable for up to 4 persons per span. RAPTOR RAIL SPAN TABLE - ROPE ACCESS

4. Two attachment points are required per person. Multiple pairs of trolleys are required for additional users. For OH261 trolley, one is required per operator and for OH260 trolley, two are required per operator.

5. Operators of this system must be connected via certified harness gear, karabiners and abseil rope lines.

6. The system must be set up so that the operator’s lanyard does not exceed 20° causing excessive tension loading to the system.

7. Do not tamper with system components.

8. This system is not to be used for tethering or lifting machinery or equipment.

9. The safety system must be recertified by a competent height safety inspector as recommended: - Non corrosive/mild environment – 12 monthly - Corrosive/harsh environment – 6 monthly (more frequent inspection may be required).

LIMITATIONS

Sayfa recommends that persons using rope access systems do not work alone in case of an emergency and help is required. Shouldanypartofthesystem/equipmenthavebeensubjectedtoabnormalloading,usemustbediscontinueduntilreplaced/recertifiedbyaqualifiedheight safety inspector.

THE RAPTOR RAIL SYSTEM MAY BE CONFIGURED IN 2 DIFFERENT WAYS:

1. STRUCTURE AND RAPTOR ATTACHMENT HARDWARE IS ACCESSIBLE - VISUAL ASSESSMENT REQUIRED

In this application, all the components and fixings must be checked according to the procedure as set out in the safe use procedure pages in this manual. The structure must be capable of the required loads and be certified by an engineer unless it is clear to a competent person that the structure is suitably adequate.

2. STRUCTURE AND RAPTOR ATTACHMENT HARDWARE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE - LOAD TEST REQUIRED (Sayfa always recommends that ceiling inspection hatches are installed for maintenance purposes, where possible)

In this application the only way to check the system in accordance with Australian Standards is via a load test. The load test will involve loading the rail to half the design load, (see span table on page 5) onto the trolley, ideally directly under the rail support structure locations. The rail/trolley can be loaded using a block and tackle system or can be loaded using weights. The load must be held for a minimum of 3 minutes with no failure or evidence of support structure movement.

Frequency of the load testing is dependent on the environment in which the system is installed and should be determined by a competent person.

Recommended minimum testing - Non corrosive / mild environment - 12 monthly - Corrosive / harsh environment - 6 monthly (more frequent inspection may be required)

1. This system needs to be checked and recertified by a qualified height safety inspector every 12 months for non corrosive environments or 6 monthly for corrosive or harsh environments. (To be determined by competent person depending on severity of surrounding conditions.)

2. Never clean using acids or other chemicals that could damage the system components.

3. The identification certification label must be completed confirming installation, certification and recertification of the system.

4. Harness gear and equipment must be maintained and stored in a dry, protected area, away from acids and ultra violet rays which cause material fibres to break down and reduce their safety and life expectancy.

5. Any deterioration or damage to the system or equipment must be reported to the person in control of the workplace and relevant corrective action undertaken.

6. Maintenance inspections must be clearly documented. Any non-conformance must be clearly identified and tagged ‘Do Not Use’ until corrective action by a competent person has been completed.

7. Where the rail system is mounted into concrete using friction fit anchorages and will be loaded in tension during operation, a load test will need to be carried out, to half the design load of the system.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

The checklist below outlines key checking criteria required to ensure the safe use of this system. Any item of concern not shown on the checklist must be noted on the maintenance report and brought to the attention of the workplace manager.

Items ticked PASS - YES means they conform with the required checking criteria and are suitable for normal use until the next recertification date. System data plates must be updated showing current check date and next check date.

Item ticked PASS - NO means they do not conform to the required checking criteria. These items must be clearly tagged ‘ Do Not Use’ and the required corrective actions put in place. The maintenance report must clearly document all non-conforming criteria.

This system must be maintained by a qualified rope access inspector trained in the safe use and maintenance of this system.
