5. Cleaning and checking
After the end of the work, the equipment should be cleaned from dirt. This gives a longer service
life for personal protective equipment and enhances your personal safety. Clean with warm water
(max. 30°C) and a mild washing powder, dry in the shade. Clean equipment has a longer service
life. Store in a ventilated place, protected from direct insulation. Fabric must be protected from
acid and lye. If fabric has been in contact with such liquids or vapours, clean them immediately.
Furthermore, the equipment must be checked prior to next using it. Fabric must be protected
from temperatures above 60°C. Look for any melting on the straps. In such cases, a specialist
should be consulted prior to next using the equipment. Spots from welding beads are considered
as melting. Prevent any corrosion risk as well as exposure to extreme heat or cold.
The metal components should be regularly cleaned and oiled using a low viscosity oil (e.g., WD
40). The equipment should be stored in a dry condition in a closed metal case or a PVC bag.
