Lineman’s Equipment Warning Tags
Klein strongly recommends using fall-
arrest protection when working at any elevated
position. Therefore, independent fall-arrest equipment
should be used in addition to Klein’s body belts
and positioning straps unless a competent person,
as defined by OSHA, has determined that such
fall-arrest equipment is not necessary or appropriate.
For Positioning Use Only
■ Use this product for positioning only, nOt for fall arrest.
■ If possible, the use of fall arrest equipment is highly
recommended in addition to this belt.
■
Assume the responsibility for determining that your belt is in
good condition at all times.
■ Do nOt use connecting devices made of leather
or manila rope.
■
never use side D-rings for fall arrest.
■ Positioning anchorages must support your
weight plus any additional job related load.
■
never allow belt to come in contact with edged or
pointed tools; or come near a radiator, steam pipe, stove,
heater, engine exhaust pipe or other heat source.
