CAUTIONPROPER TRAINING

The CSI-2000 Confined Space Communication System is a

safety system. It is designed to assist workers in the

accomplishment of their tasks, to make their jobs easier, more

relaxed and most of all, safer.

As no product can "guarantee" life protection, neither can the

CSI-2000, but properly used and maintained, this equipment

will provide a safer environment in which to work. Please

ensure that all users of this equipment are properly instructed

and knowledgeable as to the features and benefits of this and

any other equipment used.

BACK-UP COMMUNICATION

Prior to entry, CON-SPACE recommends that an alternate

method of communication be agreed to between all parties

involved, to be used in the unlikely event of a breakdown in

the CON-SPACE system. Remember, the prime issue is the

safety of the entrant and back-up procedures for all aspects of

an entry are necessary to ensure entrant safety.
