To prolong rope life (better sheath (core cohesion),soak in water for 24 hours prior first use.This removes lubricants and other products used in manufacturing. Let the rope dry
slowly.lt will shrink by approximately 5%.Take this into account when calculating necessary length.A well-used rope can shrink up to an additional 5%.
Avoid twisting Pack your rope in a bag without coiling it to reduce twisting. Shock load During a fall, a rope that is dusty,sandy, or wet can develop a greater shock load. The shock
force increases with the amount of wear on the rope.History Do not use a rope whose history you do not know as it may have been subjected to major falls and sustained invisible
damage.
Applications include
inspection work,construction,demolition,maintenance,oil production. That a lanyard shall not be used for fall arrest purposes without any
energy absorption,e.g.an energy absorber.
That the total length of a lanyard connected to an energy absorber (including terminations and connectors)shall not exceed 2m.
