BLUEWEAR 021137 Safety Helmet Instructions

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This industrial safety helmet 021137 is primarily intended to protect the wearer from head injuries and brain damage as a result of falling objects in an industrial environment. See the warnings and instructions for correct usage.
• Be aware that no safety equipment can provide full protection -always act carefully and exercise sound judgment when work involves risks.
• The helmet is only intended to protect the head of the wearer by reducing and distributing the force of falling objects from above that hit or penetrate the shell of the helmet. The helmet is not intended to provide protection from impact or penetration on the sides of the shell or to the face or neck, even if it does provide some protection from light knocks and blows in these areas.
• Never modify the helmet in any way or remove any components, unless recommended by the manufacturer -this can reduce the safety function of the product. Never attempt to adapt the helmet to mount accessories, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not use paint, solvent or glue on the helmet, or put stickers etc. on it, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
• The shell of the helmet and the lining are intended to be damaged or partially destroyed when subjected to impact-thus absorbing the impact energy and protecting the wearer of the helmet. A helmet that has been exposed to severe impact should therefore always be replaced, even if there is no visible damage.
• Do not let the helmet touch live equipment or expose it to temperatures lower than -25°C or higher than 150°C.
