Frequent or extreme use, fall load
If signs of wear show, personal protective equipment
must be replaced, e. g. when the webbing edges are
damaged, fibres have been pulled from the webbing,
seams are damaged or worn or if the product has

burrs or signs of corrosion on metal parts of the
equipment. Repairs may only be performed as out-
lined in the instructions of the manufacturer. Upon
extreme use (external signs of wear showing), such
as upon fall loading or when the equipment is dam-

removed from use immediately and turned over to a
qualified person for inspection; require a written
confirmation concerning the inspection and/or
repair.
Repairs may only be performed as outlined in the
instructions of the manufacturer.
