14. WARNING CARD PACKET
1 Unwind the Velcro* strap from itself.
* Velcro is a registered trademark of Velcro Industries B.V.
2 Lift the cover from underneath the end.
3 If the warning card packet becomes lost or damaged please
contact Klein Tools for a replacement packet.
1 Straps, stitching and webbing. Check entire length of the strap
for excessive wear. Inspect the tongue or billet end carefully.
This end is subject to considerable wear as a result of repeated
buckling and unbuckling of the belt. Also, check for torn or
excessively enlarged buckle-tongue holes. Check stitching
for broken, cut or pulled stitches. Check webbing for broken
strands, which appear as tufts on the surface.
2 Stitching or rivets at hardware attachment points. For stitching
attachment points, check that all stitching is not broken, burned,
cut or pulled. For riveted attachment points, check all rivets for
tightness. Badly-pitted rivets indicate chemical corrosion, and
equipment should be replaced immediately.
3 Destroy and replace all worn or damaged OPE equipment.
If any evidence of excessive wear, deterioration, or mechanical
malfunction is observed, replace equipment immediately. Never
work with worn or damaged OPE equipment. Using damaged
or worn equipment can cause serious injury or death.
4 The inspector is the most important part of any inspection
procedure. Check all equipment thoroughly and follow all safety
procedures and guidelines. Do not take any shortcuts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: OSHA specifies that all employers covered
by the Occupational Safety and Health Act are responsible for
inspection and maintenance of all tools and equipment used
by employees whether owned by the employees or by the
company. Personal-protective equipment should be inspected
before each use, and immediately removed from service if any
sign of wear or damage is found.
If you note any unusual conditions during the
inspection that are not specified here, do NOT use the suspect
equipment until a qualified individual has made a decision on
its usability.
Inspect: Remove the Wood Pole Fall Restrict Device (WPFRD)
from service if you find any of the following:
• Inner and outer straps- Inspect for cuts or broken stitches,
abrasion (exposed red wear indicator), chemical degradation,
or burns.
• Electrical burns, cracks or deformation, debris in either
the gate mechanism of the snap hooks and carabiner or
the cam bracket that will keep them from moving freely
and operating properly.
