Check it before every shift
Train every user, and have a rescue plan ready before anyone works at height.
- Before each use: check the casing, the anchorage-eye swivel, the full length of the lifeline as you pull it out, the hook gate and the load indicator.
- Test the brake with a sharp pull on the lifeline: it must lock at once.
- If the load indicator has deployed, or the block has arrested a fall, withdraw it and send it for service.
- Practise the retrieval with your rescue team, and keep the crank handle with the block.
- Mount it on a tripod or davit rated for the load, over the opening.
