Safety Warnings and Exclusions
All users of ISG INFRASYS thermal imagers must read the following safety warnings and exclusions
carefully.
1)
ISG INFRASYS thermal imagers must only be used by personnel familiar with the usage
and limitations of a thermal imaging device, including a general understanding of thermal
images and how they are interpreted. It is recommended that the user has gained
experience with its usage in simulated emergency conditions, such as a controlled live burn
situation. Usage of the ISG INFRASYS thermal imager by unauthorised, unfamiliar or
untrained users in a hazardous atmosphere may result in injury or death.
2)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is not life support equipment and should not be used as
such.
3)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager provides a thermal image in normal vision-impairing
conditions and is designed to augment any of your existing Standard Operating Procedures.
Failure to follow Standard Operating Procedures in a hazardous atmosphere may result in
disorientation, injury or death, in the unlikely event that the equipment should fail.
4)
Always perform a visual check on the equipment prior to use to validate that it has not
been damaged or degraded.
5)
Never use the ISG INFRASYS thermal imager as the sole source of navigation. If system
failure occurs, you may become disoriented or lost in a hostile environment, which could
result in injury or death.
6)
The ISG INFRASYS thermal imager is a complex, electro-optical piece of equipment and,
just like any other piece of machinery or electronic system, is subject to potential failures.
Should a failure occur, the user will no longer have access to the thermal images provided
by the thermal imager. Tactical usage of this equipment must not deviate from Standard
Operating Procedures used by personnel who do not have the benefit of the equipment.
