In designing and manufacturing the various Series of t h e m a n u f a c t u r e r ' s Fans and Extractors, Hazard Elimination has been
taken into account, in order to meet the conditions for Integrated Safety.
When their configuration and manufacturing processes permit this, the manufacturer directly incorporates the most appro-
priate Safety Devices. If the conditions for installation or use mean that these devices cannot be incorporated at source, all
additional safety accessories are available for implementation when the equipment is installed and before it is put into ser-
vice.
