Reported risk: Die Nieten, die die Zahnrolle am Steigklemmenkörper befestigen, wurden möglicherweise nicht korrekt angebracht. Die Rolle und sogar die gesamte Steigklemme könnten sich daher vom Seil lösen. Es besteht auch das Risiko, dass die Nieten, die den Sicherheitshaken an der Zahnrolle befestigen, nicht korrekt angebracht wurden, was das Risiko erhöht, dass sich die Steigklemme vom Seil löst. Wenn sich die Steigklemme vom Seil löst, könnte der Benutzer aus großer Höhe stürzen, was zu schweren oder tödlichen Verletzungen führen kann. Das Produkt entspricht nicht der Richtlinie für persönliche Schutzausrüstungen.

Product Name (original English): Index
Risk Description (original English): The rivets attaching the toothed cam to the ascender body may not have been fitted correctly. The cam and indeed the entire ascender may therefore become detached from the rope. There is also a risk that the rivets which attach the safety catch to the toothed cam have not been fitted correctly, thus increasing the risk that the ascender may become detached from the rope. If the ascender becomes detached from the rope, the user could fall from a height resulting in serious or fatal injury.The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment Directive.
