LIFESPAN
Cresto products consisting entirely of non-textile components
do not have a fixed lifespan. Guardian products that consist
of textile components of any kind have a maximum lifespan
of 10 years from the date of manufacture. Maximum
product lifespan is not guaranteed, and is subject to the
proper use, storage, maintenance, and inspection conditions
as detailed in the applicable product instruction manual.
Products exposed to hazardous environments, including,
but not limited to, demolition, steel construction, high heat,
UV radiation, chemicals, or high salinity may have a reduced
lifespan. Product suitability for use can only be determined
by pre-use inspections, scheduled maintenance, thorough
inspection conducted by a Competent Person (CP), and
other conditions as specified by the risk assessment and
the product instruction manual.
QUALITY
All Cresto products are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015
and to the highest standards.
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, AND
STORAGE
Maintenance and cleaning after use is important for
maintaining the safety and longevity of equipment. Remove
all dirt, corrosives, and contaminants from equipment before
and after each use. Textiles must only be cleaned with plain
water (not exceeding 50°C), or if plain water is not sufficient,
with mild soap/water solution. Rinse thoroughly and leave
to dry naturally out of direct sunlight and away from direct
heat sources. Never store when equipment is wet. Never
clean equipment with corrosive substances. When not in
use or during transport, store equipment where it will not
be affected by heat, light, excessive moisture, chemicals,
or other degrading elements.
INSPECTION
Prior to EACH use, inspect the equipment and connection
points for signs of deficiencies, including, but not limited to,
corrosion, deformation, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp
edges, cracking, rust, paint build-up, excessive heating,
alteration, broken stitching, fraying, missing or illegible labels,
and additionally all Check points in the pre-use inspection
criteria. IMMEDIATELY remove equipment from service if
defects or damage are found, or if exposed to forces of fall
arrest. Ensure that applicable work area is free of all damage,
including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust, decay, cracking,
and hazardous materials.
See Inspection Log on page 12
Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, flame/
high heat, corrosive chemicals, electrical shock, sharp
objects or edges, machinery, abrasive or uneven surfaces,
UV exposure, and severe or prolonged weather conditions,
must be assessed by a CP before fall protection equipment
is selected. The presence of any/all of these conditions may
have negative effects on product performance or service
lifetime. Always inspect the entirety of the product.
Pre-use Inspection:
ƒ Device
Housing and housing connection point must be intact
and shows no signs of deficiencies such as those listed
previously. Ensure all housing screws are present.
ƒ Lifeline
Inspect the entire length of lifeline for cuts abrasions
and wear marks. Ensure that the lifeline is free from
cuts, abrasion, excessive heating/soiling, wear marks,
broken stitching, fraying, bird-caging, and wear point
reinforcement (if applicable) is present.
ƒ Force Management System (FMS) (C10H & C15H
only)
Inspect the shock pouch casing for signs of cracking,
deformation, and degradation. Ensure all casing
screws are present and secure. If parts of the casing
are missing or there are cracks larger than 20mm,
the casing will need to be replaced. This replacement
can only be conducted by the manufacturer or
manufacturer approved agent. Ensure the break-away
segment of the casing (see image below) is present
