Under normal conditions of transport and storage, it is not classified as a dangerous good according to the main transport regulations (ADR/RID, IMDG, IATA) because it is a simple manual cutting tool. However, it contains sharp components that can cause injury if not properly protected.

• The knife and blades should be transported with the blade retracted or covered.
• Store and transport in packaging that prevents accidental opening or exposure of the cutting edge.
• Keep out of reach of children during all transport and storage operations.

For critical or large-scale shipments, always refer to the official technical and safety data provided with the product.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures

Being a manual cutting tool with a snap-off blade, the main risks are cuts and puncture injuries from the blade, both during use and when snapping off segments. The following individual protection measures are recommended as general best practice and do not replace the official safety instructions of Anza:

• Hand protection: use suitable cut-resistant work gloves when handling the knife, especially when replacing or snapping off blade segments.
• Eye protection: when snapping off blade segments, wear safety glasses to protect against small flying fragments.
• Body position: always cut away from the body and keep hands and other body parts outside the cutting line.
• Blade handling: only extend the minimum blade length necessary for the work. Always retract the blade fully when not in use.
• Waste management: collect and dispose of snapped-off blade segments and used blades in a dedicated, puncture-resistant container.
• Training and supervision: users should be instructed in safe knife handling; children and untrained persons should not use the tool without supervision.

These recommendations are generic safety guidelines for snap-off knives. For specific and binding safety requirements, consult the official safety information or technical data sheet provided by the manufacturer or supplier.
