EN 15567 consists of the following parts, under the general title, Sports and recreational facilities Ropes courses: Part 1: Construction and safety requirements; Part 2: Operational re

19、quirements. The main changes to EN 15567-2:2007 are: a) terms and definitions revised (Clause 3); b) introduction of a categorization of individual safety systems and their respective requirements (Clause 3 and Clause 6); c) requirements for supervision revised in accordance with the categories of i

22、015EN 15567-2:2015 (E) 4 Introduction Ropes courses vary considerably and may be used for educational, recreational, training or therapeutic purposes. Ropes course activities should only be undertaken by those who are physically and mentally able to comply with the safety requirements specified by t

23、he operator. Ropes course activities involve risks that should be managed by the manufacturers and operators. This is achieved through careful design, manufacture, supervision, training, instruction, information etc. Safety systems can be collective or individual. Individual safety systems are class

24、ified in categories A to E. However these categories do not in themselves determine the safety of the ropes course. The various safety devices consist of equipment designed to limit the consequences of falls or collisions. There are inherent risks associated with ropes courses. These risks should ho

25、wever be appropriately managed and minimized by the ropes course operator and their staff; it should be understood that the risks cannot be eliminated altogether. On the basis of a risk assessment, operators should take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety of participants. This means

26、 that the degree of risk 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. It is recognized that application of every provision of this standard may not be appropriate in all c

27、ircumstances. Any deviation from the standard should provide an equal or greater level of safety. When deviating from the standard a written risk assessment, setting out the rationale for the deviation should be provided. Ropes course operators should also consider EN 15567-1, when carrying out risk

28、 assessments. BS EN 15567-2:2015EN 15567-2:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to the operation of ropes courses as defined in EN 15567-1.
