Safety Principles
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. recognizes the critical importance of workplace safety. However, although Vestil diligently
strives to identify foreseeable hazardous situations, this manual cannot address every conceivable danger. The end-user
is ultimately responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
This manual will acquaint persons authorized to use and/or maintain this step stand with safe use and maintenance
procedures. Therefore, each person, who might use or perform maintenance on the step stand, must read and
understand every instruction BEFORE using the device or performing maintenance. Users should have access to
the manual at all times and should routinely review the directions.
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to classify personal injury risks and situations that might lead to property damage,
as well as to draw attention to safety message(s). The reader must understand that each signal word indicates the
seriousness of the identified hazard.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or MODERATE
injury.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might damage the
step stand.
Employers are responsible for training employees to use the product properly. If you do not understand an instruction,
ask your supervisor or employer for assistance, because failure to follow the directions in this manual might result in
serious personal injury or even death.

failure is solely the fault of the person(s) using the step stand.
