7. Inspection, maintenance, duration of use
7.1
General
As a general principle, the instructions and rules in the user information provided
with every helmet supplied to the customer apply. It is important to strictly observe
all the instructions in the user information to ensure user safety. Rosenbauer
accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe the user information
and individual items of the user information.
7.2 Inspection
As a rule, the helmet, the helmet liner and the accessories should be inspected for
signs of damage before and after every operation. You must not use a damaged
helmet or damaged helmet parts; defective parts must be replaced immediately.
After each operation where the helmet has been exposed to unusual stress (e.g.
impact, knocks, dropping, other types of force, direct exposure to flame, high and/
or extended exposure to heat, exposure to chemicals, contact with molten metal
and others), all helmet components must be carefully inspected before redeploying
the helmet. This check must be performed by a suitably trained member of staff;
note that Rosenbauer offers appropriate staff training. All helmet components must
be inspected carefully and damaged parts must be renewed without exception
before the helmet is reused. We recommend performing this check every 2 years
and logging the inspection and replacement of helmet components. Never use a
damaged helmet, it might not provide the protection you expect!
Helmet components must immediately be replaced by original parts if one of the
following criteria applies, or other visible damage exists:
Helmet shell + visor
a) Cracks of any kind
b) Missing components
c) Grooves or scratches deeper than 1 mm
d) Blistering
e) Major surface damage due to excessive heat or flame exposure
f) Substantial damage to the protective coating
g) Damage to individual components
Helmet liner, chin strap, neck protection
a) Cracks of any kind
b) Missing components
c) Damage, lack of robustness of fasteners
d) Damage to textile components due to cuts, tears, wear, fraying or similar
e) Damage to seams
f) Damage to Velcro fasteners
