Champ d’application

This standard specifies the requirements for the selection, use, and maintenance of fall protection equipment, including safety belts and safety nets.

It replaces the previous version GB/T 23468-2009.

Exigences techniques

The standard outlines comprehensive guidelines for fall hazard identification and risk assessment. It mandates that employers must provide appropriate fall protection equipment when hazards cannot be eliminated through engineering or technical means. For the selection of equipment, it details requirements for various components such as harnesses, lanyards, energy absorbers, self-locking devices, and anchor devices. Employers must ensure compatibility between different equipment and assess the safety space and free fall distance. Usage requirements emphasize pre-use training, inspection, and proper wearing procedures. It specifies that equipment must be used within the manufacturer's defined limits and environmental conditions. Maintenance protocols include periodic inspections, cleaning, and proper storage. Equipment must be immediately retired if it fails inspection, exceeds its service life, or has arrested a fall.

This standard primarily focuses on selection, use, and maintenance rather than specific laboratory testing methods. However, it references various product standards (e.g., GB 6095 for safety belts, GB 5725 for safety nets) for performance testing. It requires visual inspections, functional checks of locking mechanisms, and periodic professional examinations to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.
