3.4 A record of who has been trained to place the anchors and where they were trained shall be kept. 3.5 Selection of the site for placing the anchors should only be made by people competent to do so. Since training to this level is beyond the scope of the training course sufficient caving experience is a pre-requisite for enrolment on a training course. The decision as to where to place the anchors should only be made by agreement between at least two competent riggers, one of whom shall be a trained installer. Testing 4.1 Proof testing of anchors before they are put into use is impractical.
Proof testing is to be included as part of the maintenance procedure.
4.2 Proof testing should not materially affect the strength of the anchor system, should be simple and safe to perform and must be properly documented. Records of the tests should be kept. 4.4 Equipment used for testing must be calibrated and records of the calibrations must be kept. All anchor points must be inspected, tested and maintained or replaced on a regular basis to ensure they are safe. 5.2 Records of these activities must be kept up to date.
