Safety checks
A safety check should be made
on all products before being used
again. The check is ideally made
after use, before the products are
placed in the stores. The safety
check must be carried out by
qualified personnel. Combisafe
recommends that the safety check
is only to be carried out by persons
trained by Combisafe.
Check that:
• no parts are cut or joined.
• no parts are bent to excess or in
any other way deformed.
• no new drill holes have been
made.
• no corrosion has occurred that
can affect strength.
• no visible cracks have occurred
in welds or the material.
• parts fit together. Use a gauge.
Reconditioning
Products rejected during safety
checks can be reconditioned.
Reconditioning must be carried out
by qualified personnel. Combisafe
recommends that reconditioning
is only to be carried out by persons
trained by Combisafe.
Recondition according to the
following guidelines:
• deformed aluminum parts shall
not be mended
• for steel parts, only cold process-
ing is permitted.
• clean the parts.
• replace damaged parts that can-
not be reconditioned.
• scrap parts that after straight-
ening show signs of fracture or
that do not reach a satisfactory
condition after reconditioning.
Scrapping
Products identified during the
safety checks and which have
not been possible to recondition
should be discarded and destroyed
so that they cannot be used.
Most Combisafe products are
manufactured of steel and can be
scrapped as steel in their entirety.
There are some exceptions. Check
with Combisafe in the event of
uncertainty.
Storage
Store Combisafe products in a
dry, ventilated area protected
from environmental effects, e. g.
weather and corrosive substances.
