Checking = safety
Do not hesitate to scrap a product showing
signs of wear which might affect its strength,
or restrict its operation. For your safety we
advise you to adopt a 3-level checking schedule:
- before and after each use it is necessary
to check the condition of the product,
- during use, it is important to regularly
monitor the condition of the product and of its
connections to the other elements of the system.

products and helmets, approximately annually
for metallic products.
For more safety and better control of your
equipment, we advise you to keep an inspection
record for each product or batch of products.
It is preferable to personally issue each user
of P.P.E. such as helmets, impact absorbers

of equipment to ensure better traceability.

personally issue metallic equipment or anchors
to a single user.
