Ropes course activities involve risks that should be managed by the manufacturers and operators. This is achieved
32、through careful design, manufacture, supervision, training, instruction, information etc. Ropes course activities should only be undertaken by those who are physically and mentally able to comply with the safety requirements specified by the operator. The various safety devices (for protection again
33、st falling from a height and collisions) consist of equipment designed to limit the consequences of falls or collisions. There are inherent risks associated with ropes courses. These risks should, however, be appropriately managed and reduced to an acceptable level by the ropes course operator. Howe
34、ver, it should be understood that such risks cannot be eliminated altogether. It should be noted that no safety system can prevent deliberate misuse. On the basis of a risk assessment, that takes into account the manufacturers manual, operators should take reasonably practicable measures to ensure t
35、he safety of participants and staff. This means that the degree of risks in a particular job/work place/facility need to be balanced against the time, trouble, cost, benefits and physical difficulty of taking measures to avoid or reduce the risk. Ropes course operators should also consider EN 15567-
36、2, when carrying out risk assessments. DIN EN 15567-1:2015-08 EN 15567-1:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to permanent and mobile ropes courses and their components. This European Standard specifies safety requirements for the design, construction, inspection and maintenance of rope
37、s courses and their components. This European Standard does not apply to temporary ropes courses (see 3.3) and childrens play grounds (see EN 1176 all parts). For the use of ropes courses EN 15567-2 applies. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referen
