During the rescue operation, there must always be direct or indirect visual orcommunicative contact with the person to be rescued.8. A sufficiently strong, suitable fastening point corresponding to the nationalregulations with a min. load-bearing capacity of 9 kN (North America 22.2 kN) mustbe chosen for the hand chain device. The fastening is done with snap hooks accordingto EN 362:2004 / CSA2259.12-01 / ANSI/ASSE 2359.12-2009 (mountaineering karabnerhooks) or sling according to EN 795, whereby the sling is pulled through the bracketof the handdevice and closed with a secured snap hook ().

Check the karabiner hook for properfunctioning (self-closing, lockable). Check the retractable connecting device forproper condition. A HRA fall arrest block with a damaged connecting element ordevice (Fig. 7a + 8), e.g. ropes with a kink or broken/torn strand, must not be used.13.A fall arrest block must be withdrawn from use if damaged, loaded by fall or if its safecondition is doubtful. lt may only be used further if tested and released in writing by anexpert from or trained by the manufacturer.14.
