Lanyard/Vertical Lifeline
When inspecting lanyards and vertical lifelines,
begin at one end and work to the opposite
end. Slowly rotate the lanyard or lifeline so
that the entire circumference is checked.
Webbing/Stitches: While bending webbing
over a pipe or mandrel, observe each side of
the web lanyard. This will reveal any cuts,
snags, or breaks. Swelling, discoloration,
cracks, and/or charring are obvious signs of
chemical or heat damage. Observe closely for
any breaks in the stitching.
Rope:
Rotation of the rope lifeline while
inspecting from end-to-end will bring to light
any broken or cut fibers. Inspect also for
excessive wearing of the rope. Weakened
areas from extreme loads will appear as a
noticeable change in original diameter. The
rope diameter should be uniform throughout,
following a short break-in period. (Note: It is
important to note the condition of the 300L
lifeline when it is first received. Due to the
nature and materials of the 300L lifeline, it
has a "fuzzy" appearance; this is not cause
for failed inspection. The above standards
should be used for determining loss of
integrity of the rope lifeline.)
Snap Hooks/Thimbles: Inspect closely for
hook and eye distortions, cracks, breaks,
corrosion, pitted surfaces, and rough or
sharp edges. The gate (keeper) should seat
into the nose without binding and should not
be distorted or obstructed. The gate spring
should exert sufficient force to firmly close
the gate. When the gate is closed, the locking
mechanism MUST prevent the gate from
opening. The thimble must be firmly seated
in the eye of the splice, and the splice should
have no loose or cut strands. The edges of
the thimble must be free of sharp edges,
distortion, or cracks.
Pack-Type Shock Absorber:
portion of the pack should be examined for
burn holes and tears. Stitching on areas where
the pack is sewn to the lanyard or hardware
should be examined for loose strands, rips,
deterioration or other signs of activation.
Carabiner
Inspect product for any of the following: bent,
cracked, distorted, worn, malfunctioning or
damaged parts; rough or sharp edges; loose
fasteners or missing
corrosion; deterioration; signs that indicate the
product has been subjected to a fall arrest; or
any other indications of damage/problems that
may affect the integrity and operation of the
product. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer.
The outer
parts/components;
Check the carabiner to be sure that it
operates freely and only as intended by the
manufacturer. Ensure that gate (keeper) is
seated properly without binding and is not
distorted or obstructed.
should exert sufficient force to firmly close the
gate. When the gate is closed, the locking
mechanism MUST prevent the gate from
opening.
WARNING
Devices that do not pass inspection or
have been subjected to fall arresting
forces must be removed from service.
6.2 Maintenance
Basic care of all fall protection equipment will
prolong its service life and will contribute to-
ward the performance of its vital safety func-
tion.
Cleaning and Storage
Periodically clean equipment using a sponge
dampened in a mild solution of water and
commercial soap or detergent to remove any
dirt, paint, corrosives, or other contaminants.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth and/or hang freely
to dry away from excessive heat, steam, or
long periods of sunlight.
When not in use, equipment shall be stored
in a manner as to preclude damage from
environmental factors, such as temperature,
light, UV, excessive moisture, oil, chemicals
and their vapors, or other degrading elements.
Servicing
Servicing of Honeywell Miller fall protection
equipment must only be carried out by Honey-
well Industrial Safety or persons or entities au-
thorized in writing by Honeywell. A record log
of all servicing and inspection dates for this
equipment must be maintained. Only original
Honeywell replacement parts are approved
for use in this equipment.
devices that do not pass inspection must be
disposed of in a manner to prevent inadver-
tent further use. Contact Honeywell Technical
