Rosenbauer - PROTECTIVE BOOTS
BOOTS FOR FIREFIGHTING
USE
These boots protect the area of the feet against mechanical and thermal injuries during
fire fighting and technical rescues. Additional protection is largely given against weath-
er-related influences.
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. Additonal dangers such as chemical, biological, elec-
trical or radioactive hazards must be covered by another and/or additonal 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 vari-
ous 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 ap-
plication 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 as-
sessment with regard to the contractually guaranteed protective effect.
