WARNINGS
WARNINGS
Klein permanently attaches highly durable warning
and instruction tags to its lineman’s body belts and
positioning straps.
If any of these tags become unattached, lost, or
damaged, call Klein Tools, toll-free at 1-800-553-4676,
for information on how to have the tags replaced
free of charge.
Klein strongly recommends using fall-
arrest protection when working at any elevated
position. Therefore, independent fall-arrest equipment
should be used in addition to Klein’s body belts
and positioning straps unless a competent person,
as defined by OSHA, has determined that such
fall-arrest equipment is not necessary or appropriate.
