self-adhesive labels; other potentially harmful products/substances.
Attention! When using textile devices, be careful to the contact with sharp
edges and, when necessary, use protective devices.
2.3 - Responsibilities. Each individual is responsible for his/her own
choices and actions: anyone who is not capable of assuming this
responsibility must not use these devices under any circumstances. The
responsibility of the manufacturer is limited to manufacturing defects and
materials used. Attention! Do not use a device for activities exceeding its
limitations or for uses that are different to those intended! Attention! Being
equipped with personal protective devices does not justify exposing
oneself to potentially lethal risks. Attention! There are many incorrect or
erroneous usage procedures and only the procedures indicated as correct
are allowed: any other possible usage procedure must be considered as
forbidden.
2.4 - Materials. All materials and treatments (unless otherwise specified)
are antiallergic and do not cause skin irritation or sensitization.
2.5 - Warnings. Such warnings relate only to the devices reporting, in the
specific instructions, the ANSI/ASSE 359 or ASTM F1772 standard. Before
each use: make sure that all the devices show the correct reference to the
standard and that are in perfect working order; make sure that the
maintenance sheets of each device are correctly updated; make sure you
have carefully considered the safest way of access, equipped yourself
properly and provided for a rescue procedure to recover the incapacitated
operator or to deal with any emergency that may arise during work; inform
the user of the existence of the arranged rescue procedure. During each
use: pay attention to the dangers that could jeopardize the performance of
the device (e.g. twisting or dragging of lanyards or rescue ropes on sharp
edges; chemical reagents; electrical conductivity; pendulum falls etc.). For
devices intended for use in a fall arrest system: for the operator's safety it
is necessary that the device or anchor point is always correctly positioned
and that the work is carried out so that the risk of falling and the length of a
fall are minimized; before any use, verify the free space required below the
user at the work station so that, in the event of a fall, there is no collision
with the ground or other obstacles on the path of the fall; consider that a
body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used
in a fall arrest system.
3) INSPECTIONS.
Inspections carried out by the user are necessary to ensure that the device
is in an efficient condition, functions correctly and can be used. Before and
after each use: verify that the metal and plastic parts, if present, do not
show deformations, sharp edges, abnormal variations in color, corrosion
and oxidation;a verify that the metal and plastic parts, if present, do not
show cuts, cracks, incisions or signs of wear with a depth greater than 1
mm; verify that the textile parts, if present, and their stitching do not show
cuts, abrasions, fraying, wear, burns, damage due to exposure to heat or
ultraviolet rays, excessive stretching, corrosion and traces of mold or
chemicals, paying attention in checking any hidden areas as well; verify
that the stitching, if present, do not show cut, pulled or loose threads; verify,
feeling with the fingers the whole length of the devices made of rope, that
the inner core does not show cuts, points of emptiness, splits, swelling;
verify that any moving parts (e.g. opening levers, locking cams, etc.)
