Rosenbauer – HEROS Smart
INTRODUCTION
These instructions are intended to help you familiarize yourself with the HERO-smart
fire fighting helmet, its features, use and its care. Despite the application of the highest
quality standards during the design and production, as well as a detailed final inspection
before delivery, every HEROS Smart fire fighting helmet can only be as good as it is
treated, maintained and cared for. It is up to the user how well the HEROS Smart
performs and protects and thus how satisfied she/he is with it.
The contractually guaranteed scope of protection of the respective personal protective
equipment results from the relevant provisions of the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and
the standards derived from it in accordance with the declaration of conformity. Any
further protection does not exist. Additional dangers such as chemical, biological,
electrical or radioactive hazards must be covered by another and/or additional protective
equipment.
At this point we would like to point out that the user of this PPE must carry out a risk
assessment before use. The user determines through this risk assessment what risk he
will have to expect in his operations. The real risk arises from the extent to which various
hazards are likely in relation to the severity of the consequences for the user in such an
exposure. The resulting risk assessment is the basis for the selection and application of
an adequate protective equipment (with the appropriate protection level if applicable).
Please make sure that your Rosenbauer PPE meets the requirements of your risk
assessment with regard to the contractually guaranteed protective effect.
1. Safety instructions and intended use of the fire fighting helmets
1.1
The HEROS Smart fire fighting helmet may only be used within the range of its
intended purpose and only after completely reading these instructions. The helmet
may be worn solely by trained operations personnel according to the guidelines/
practices of fire departments. This helmet is neither approved nor suitable for use
e.g. as a bicycle helmet, motorcycle helmet, seat or stand, etc. A use for such
purposes is not allowed and prohibited.
The use of fire fighting helmets under exceptional environmental conditions including
but not limited to „flashover-training, training in special exercise-containers and
similar conditions where excessive heat and/or flame exposure is expected shall
NOT be seen as normal regular use. This must be particularly considered and
following the risk assessment by the user of the helmet an additional protection of
the helmet shall be used (e.g. protective shell cover Nomex
22
157374, 1737401).
