Reporting a Safety Defect | Sterling AF-XXX manual

When you have completed the repair or maintenance procedure, check your work and remove your tools, rigging, and handling equipment.

Do not restore power to the equipment until all persons are clear of the area. DO NOT start and run the machine until you are sure all parts are functioning correctly.

BEFORE you turn the machine over to the operator for production, verify all equipment enclosure panels, guards and safety devices are in place and functioning properly.

Reporting a Safety Defect

If you believe that your equipment has a defect that could cause injury, you should immediately discontinue its use and inform the manufacturer.

The principle factors that can result in injury are failure to follow proper operating procedures (i.e. lockout/tagout), or failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment.
