I heard the Mariner's Revenge song on the radio maybe a year ago and went out to get the record it was on, plus also the other LP's they have which were on heavy rotation in my car for a while. It was a joy to get up and play with them in Hollywood last year. I ruined the knees in my suit as a consequence.
Health & Safety Notice For James Fearnley Re; Knees
2005-02-01: Knee protection
DIN EN 14404 PSA "Knee protectors for work in the kneeling position" just published
Without adequate knee protection, persons working in a kneeling position may suffer immediate injury. Continuous pressure on the knee increases the risk of chronic diseases such as prepatellar bursitis and cartilage injuries.
Knee protection is a type of personal protective equipment covered by Directive 98/686/EEC and is required to bear the CE mark of conformity. The first edition of DIN EN 14404 translates this directive into concrete requirements relating to knee protection by laying down requirements and test methods. Certificates are issued by notified agencies such as the Zentrum für Sicherheitstechnik in Erkrath.
Various types of knee protectors are available. The new standard distinguishes four types: knee protectors that are independent of other clothing and fasten around the leg (type 1), knee protectors inserted, for example, in pockets on trouser legs (type 2), devices not attached to the body (type 3), and knee protectors which are part of devices with additional functions, such as a frame to aid standing up (type 4).
The standard defines two performance levels: Level 1 applies to knee protectors used for work on flat floor surfaces and level 2 for protectors suitable for use in severe conditions such as when kneeling on broken rocks in mining and quarry work.
The standard lays down minimum values for the dimensions of the zones of protection, and mechanical requirements such as penetration resistance, force distribution and the peak transmitted force in impact. Requirements also deal with comfort during use and means of restraint. There also detailed requirements relating to the marking of the knee protection and the information to be provided by the manufacturer to ensure the protectors are used as intended.
