Safety instructions
Safety and risk information for the
selected equipment
The head protection serves as protection
in case of an uncontrolled fall. However, it
cannot be guaranteed that injuries will be
avoided in every case in the event of a fall,
as this is highly dependent on the select-
ed equipment of the head protection, the
fall characteristics and the environmental
conditions.
Models without reinforced protection in
the back of the head or reinforced forehead
protection are not suitable for falling haz-
ards with increased risk potential.
In special cases, all unprotected head and
skull areas in particular are exposed to an
increased risk of injury.
The risk of injury cannot be completely
eliminated, but by choosing the correct
model and equipment, the risk of injury can
be significantly reduced.
Equipment examples:
• Chin protection
• Ear protection
• Check protection
• Forehead and/or neck protection
• Closed top (full cranial coverage)
• Visor with special chin protection
• Xtra-face protection (nose bow)
Find out more about the equipment options
on our homepage at www.ato-form.com.
The list of contraindications does not
grant guarantee completeness.
The patient‘s general condition is an
important part of the risk assessment.
In individual cases, the decision must be
made by the attending physician, who
must weigh the risks versus the expect-
ed benefits.

extensive range of accessories for head
protection and their description as well

strated nor described, please contact us.

(1) (see illustration) sits exactly above the
eyebrows and the back of the head (the
occipital protuberance) is well covered by
the rear plate (2).
