Inspection Plan - Hailo TopLine 4303 Série Mode D'emploi

11. Inspection plan

• There exists the risk of a fall due to damaged,
defective or non- functional step stool units;
there is also a risk of tipping over when using the
step stool.
• Users of the step stool can sustain serious inju-
ries during a fall.
• Objects can likewise be damaged if the step stool
tips over.
• Regular inspection by a qualified person is required
for commercial use.
• The contractor has to ensure that step stools are
inspected recurrently for proper condition (visual
and functional inspection).
For this purpose, the type, scope and time periods
of the required inspections must be determined.
• The time intervals for the inspection will conform
to the operating conditions, in particular the fre-
quency of use and demands during use as well as
the frequency and severity of established defects
during the preceding inspections.
• The contractor also has to ensure that defective
step stools are removed from use and stored in
such a way that further use is not possible until
proper maintenance or disposal takes place.
During the regular inspection of the step stool,
inspection points 1-6 should be taken into account.
If any of the tested points cannot be fully satisfied,
you should NOT use the step stool.
