BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Receiving:

The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is acknowledgement by the carrier of receipt in good condition of shipment covered by your invoice. If any of the goods called for on this bill of lading are shorted or damaged, do not accept them until the carrier makes a notation on the freight bill of the shorted or damaged goods. Do this for your own protection.

NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or damage is discovered after receipt and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR RECEIPT. File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support

your claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs, if available. Our willingness to assist in helping you process your claim does not make BendPak responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or damaged materials.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal protective equipment helps makes installation and operation safer, however, it does not take the place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable work clothing during any installation and/or service activity. Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, however loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended to protect technician hands when handling parts. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be used by all service personnel to help prevent injury during typical installation and operation activities. Eye protection is essential during installation and operation activities. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting activities and are also helpful in providing worker protection. Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing protection if service activity is performed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.
