EN 365:2004 (E) 4 Introduction For safety reasons it is vital that personnel who intend to use personal protective equipment (PPE) and other equipment to control the potential fall related risks associated with access, climbing, and working at height are aware of how to use that equipment properly. It is essential that personnel are trained, assessed as competent and are given written instructions which enables them to select, use, maintain and carry out periodic examinations on PPE or other equipment correctly, and to be aware of the limitations, precautions and the dangers of misuse. This document is intended to act as a common reference and general requirement standard for existing documents covering PPE and other equipment for protection against falls from a height. This revision has effectively revised the scope, and has published a more comprehensive list of requirements to reflect the increased range of PPE and other equipment for protection against falls from a height, which has become available in the market place since the standard’s original inception in 1992. General requirements for packaging are also included. SIST EN 365:2005
