SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
B.1
A retaining strap should be selected and used on the basis of the requisite load capacity, the intended application, and the load to be secured. Take into consideration the type, size, shape and weight of the load, including the way it is to be used and transported. Stand alone loads should be secured with at least two straps for friction lashing and two straps for diagonal lashing.
B.2
The selected straps should be long enough and strong enough for the intended purpose. Basic lashing rules
- Plan before the journey how the lashing is to be done and removed.
- Take into consideration that some parts of the load may need to be unloaded during the journey.
- Calculate the number of lashings needed as per prEN 12195-1 :1995.
- Only straps intended fur friction lashing marked STF should be used fur friction lashing.
- Check the tension at regular intervals, especially just after starting.
B.3
Do not use different types of lashings (fur example chains and straps) to lash
the same load – they have different properties and strain factors. Any other
lashing and load restraining equipment must be compatible with the straps.
B.4
If flat hooks a re used the whole load bearing surface of the hook shou Id be
engaged.
B.5
Releasing retaining straps: Make sure that the stability of the load does not
depend on the lashing equipment and that the load cannot fall and cause
personal injury when the retaining strap is released. Lifting equipment fur
further transport should be connected to the load before the clamping device
is opened if this is necessary to prevent the load from falling or starting to
lean. This also applies to the use of retaining straps that permit controlled
release.
B.6
Before unloading the retaining straps should be released so that the load can
be freely moved from the bearing surface.
B.7
Watch out for any power lines or other obstructions when loading and
unloading.
B.8
Different strap materials have differing resistance to chemicals. Consult the
manufacturer or retailer if there is a risk of the straps being exposed to
chemicals.
Note that the effects of chemicals can be increased at higher temperatures. The following is a summary of the chemical resistance of different artificial fibres. Polyamide is basically insensitive to alkalis, but is affected by inorganic acids. Polyester is resistant to inorganic acids, but is affected by alkalis. Acids have a negligible effect on polypropylene and can therefore be used where a good resistance to chemicals is required (with the exception of some inorganic solvents). Harmless solutions of acids or alkalis can through evaporation become so concentrated that they can cause damage. Rinse contaminated straps immediately with cold water and allow to dry.
B.9
Straps that comply with EN 12195 can be used at the following temperatures.
- 40 to 80°[ for polypropylene (PP)
- 40 to 100°[ for polyamide (PA)
- 40 to 120°[ for polyester (PES).
other temperatures can apply for retaining straps that have been exposed to chemicals. Consult the manufacturer or retailer. Variations in temperature during transport can affect the tension of the straps. Check the tension if the temperature increases.
B.10
Discard or return retaining straps to the manufacturer to be repaired if they
show sigs of damage. Take the following into consideration.
- Only retaining straps that have identification markings should be repaired.
- Stop using retaining straps that have been exposed to chemicals and consult the manufacturer or retailer.
- Discard straps if they are torn, cut, unstitched, or deformed by heat.
- End pieces and clamping devices should be discarded if they are deformed, cracked or show signs of wear or corrosion.
B.11
Make sure not to damage straps on any sharp edges of the load. Check straps
before and after use.
B.12
Only use retaining straps with legible markings.
B.13
Do not overload retaining straps. Only tension by hand to a maximum of 500 N
(50 daN as per marking, 1 daN 1 kg). Do not use mechanical devices, such as
levers, that are not part of the clamping device.
B.14
Do not use knotted retaining straps.
B.15
Keep markings away from sharp edges on the load and avoid if possible markings
coming in contact with the load to avoid damaging them.
B.16
Protect retaining straps with sleeves and/or corner pads from friction,
abrasion and sharp edges.
