read this page before proceeding!
In the United States, the functions that EZ-SCREEN is intended
to perform are regulated by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA). Outside of the United States,
these functions are regulated by other agencies, organizations,
and governments. Whether or not any particular EZ-SCREEN
installation meets all applicable requirements depends upon
factors that are beyond the control of Banner Engineering Corp.
These factors include the details of how the EZ-SCREEN is applied,
installed, wired, operated, and maintained. It is the responsibility
of the purchaser and user to apply this EZ-SCREEN System in
full compliance with all relevant applicable regulations and
standards.
EZ-SCREEN can guard against accidents only when it is properly
installed and integrated into the machine, properly operated, and
properly maintained. Banner Engineering Corp. has attempted
to provide complete application, installation, operation, and
maintenance instructions. In addition, please direct any questions
regarding application or use of EZ-SCREEN to the factory
applications department at the telephone number or addresses
shown on the back cover.
In addition to OSHA regulations, several other organizations
provide information about the use of safeguarding devices. Refer
to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Robotics
Industries Association (RIA), the Association for Manufacturing
Technology (AMT), and others (see below). Banner Engineering
Corp. makes no claim regarding a specific recommendation of
any organization, the accuracy or effectiveness of any information
provided, or the appropriateness of the provided information for a
specific application.
The user has the responsibility to ensure that all local, state,
and national laws, rules, codes, and regulations relating to the
use of this safeguarding system in any particular application
are satisfied. Extreme care is urged to ensure that all legal
requirements have been met and that all installation and
maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed.
