The severity of consequences ranges from frustration or poor equipment performance,
through damage to equipment, injury or death.
SeaBotix, Inc. products are safe and reliable tools when used and cared for properly.
However, certain hazards do exist and should be carefully considered.
It is impossible to anticipate all unexpected conditions that may occur, particularly in an
adverse and chaotic marine environment. This document is written for use by trained,
competent, experienced personnel who can reasonably be expected to exercise
common sense, good judgment and caution when working in the actual environment
and under the actual working conditions for which this equipment has been designed to
operate. Backup and/or supervisory personnel should be present when warranted by
work conditions. It is assumed that personnel are known to be able to work safely and
effectively in the demanding conditions frequently encountered in marine and offshore
environments. Furthermore, it is assumed that personnel have been trained in the
recommended service procedures of SeaBotix, Inc. products, including the use of
common hand tools and any special SeaBotix, Inc. tools that may be required.
During the use of SeaBotix, Inc. products it is the responsibility of each person to
ensure that safe work conditions exist, that they are working in a safe manner and to
anticipate any potential risks. If an unsafe or potentially unsafe condition exists, stop
work immediately until the unsafe condition is corrected. Whenever there is any doubt,
always err of the side of caution and stop work until it has been positively determined
that it is safe to continue working. Anyone who uses a service procedure and/or tool,
which are not recommended by SeaBotix, Inc. assumes all liability for the resulting risk
and must first completely satisfy himself that neither his safety nor the products safety
will be endangered.
If there is a language barrier that prevents you, or any other operator or service
