PPE category II:

Intended use: This garment is suitable to oﬀer protection against

hardware, lying on ﬂoor, as well as prevent chronically disease (e.g.

bursitis or cartilage-defect). Already existing disease cannot be cured

by wearing this knee-protection, but hurtful eﬀects can be limited.

Important premise for the attainment of this aim is the combination of

knee-protection with proper work-wear, equipped with appropriated

kneepad-pockets which are made for this kind of purpose.

Furthermore this garment performance against skin damage caused

by solar radiation in the way to provide UV-A and UV-B sun

protection. Only covered areas of the body are protected by the

clothing. The measured UPF (UV Protection Factor) is > 50 and thus

oﬀers a very high level of protection. The protection oﬀered by this

PPE can be reduced by continuous use, in the case of expanding or

in wet condition.

This PPE oﬀers no protection from:

- chemical hazards

- caught-in hazards in presence of moving parts

- mechanical hazards (protection can be provided in combination

with knee-pad article no. 8400)

- thermal hazards

- fire crossing and extinguishing hazards

- all hazards, different from the above specified

Identification and selection: The selection of suitable garments

must be made, based on the specific workplace requirements, the

type of hazards and the relevant environmental conditions. The

employer is responsible for the identification and selection of the

suitable and adequate PPE. Therefore, it is opportune to verify the

suitability of this garment to your requirements before use.

Field of application, uses & risk assessment: It is emphasised,

that the actual application conditions can not be simulated and it is

therefore the sole decision of the user whether the garment is suitable

for the intended application or not. The manufacturer is not

responsible for improper use of the product. Before the garment is put

into service, an assessment of the residual risk should be taken in

order to determine whether the garment is fit for the intended use.
