USER INFORMATION
User Information shall be provided to the user of the product. NFPA
Standard 1983 recommends separating the User Information from the
equipment and retaining the information in a permanent record. The
standard also recommends making a copy of the User Information to
keep with the equipment and that the information should be referred to
before and after each use.
Additional information regarding life safety equipment can be found in
NFPA 1858, Standard on Selection Care, and Maintenance of Life safety
Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services, NFPA 1500, Standard on
Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Programs, and NFPA
1983, Standard on Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency
Services.
Inspect the equipment according to your department's policy for
inspecting life safety equipment. Inspect the equipment prior to entry into
service, after each use, and at least once every 12 months. The
equipment should be thoroughly inspected by an inspector that meets
your department's training standard for inspection of life safety
equipment. Keep a record of the date, person performing the inspection
and results, as well as the date of first use, name of users and any other
pertinent information necessary to keep accurate track of the
equipment's usage history in the equipment log or on a tag that attaches
to the equipment. Each user should be trained in equipment inspection
and should inspect the equipment before each use.
When inspecting the system, follow the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for inspection provided with each of the LEVR Escape System
components. If the system is used in actual fire ground emergency
escape, or if there is any doubt about the serviceability of the system,
remove the system from service and destroy it.
The service life of equipment depends greatly on the type of use and
the environment of use. Because these factors vary greatly, a precise
service life of the equipment cannot be provided.
