those on artificial elements (metal, concrete, etc.) can be
calculated scientifically, and must therefore be performed
by qualified personnel.
G) It is strictly forbidden to modify and/or repair the device.
H) Avoid exposing the device to heat sources or to contact
with chemical substances. Reduce direct exposure to the
sunlight to a minimum, particularly for textile and plastic
devices.
At low temperatures and in the presence of humidity, ice
may form. This, on textile devices, may reduce flexibility
and increase the risk of cuts and abrasions.
I) Make sure that the device has been supplied complete,
in its original packaging and with the manufacturer's
information. It is compulsory for dealers selling products in
countries other than the original destination to check and
supply the translation of this information.
L) All our devices are tested/inspected piece by piece in
accordance with the procedures of the Quality System
certified according to the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard.
Our personal protective equipment is certified by the
accredited authority indicated in the device's specific
instructions and, if they belong to category III, are also
subjected to production surveillance - in compliance with
article 11/B of Directive 89/686/CEE - by an authority
whose accreditation number is indicated on the device.
Warning: laboratory tests, inspections, information
and norms do not always manage to reproduce what
actually happens in practice, and so performance
under real usage conditions in a natural environment
can differ, sometimes even considerably. The best
information can be gained by continual practice
under the supervision of skilled, expert, qualified
individuals.
2 – WORKS AT A HEIGHT
Additional information for protective equipment against
falls from a height.
For the sake of safety in case of risk of falls from a height,
it is essential to:
- assess the risks and make sure that the whole system,
where this device is only a component, is reliable and
safe,
- prepare a rescue plan to deal with any emergencies
possibly arising while the device is being used,
- make sure that work is done in such way as to reduce
potential falls and relevant heights to a minimum,
- make sure that:
- anchoring points are positioned above the user,
- the devices used are suitable for the purpose and are
certified.
Important: in a system for protection against falling from
heights, it is obligatory to use a complete harness in
compliance with current regulations.
3 – MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Device maintenance consists of:
- Frequent washing in warm drinking water (30°C),
possibly with the addition of neutral detergent. Rinse
and, without spinning, leave it to dry without leaving it
in the direct sunlight.
- Lubricate moving parts (only for metal devices) with
silicon-based oil. This operation is to be performed once
