Inspection

5.1

Inspection Frequency

If the Workman FP Stryder is damaged or is subjected to fall arrest forces or impact forces, it must be
immediately removed from service and marked as "UNUSABLE" until it has been destroyed.
The Workman FP Stryder must be inspected by the user before each use. Additionally, the Workman
FP Stryder must be inspected by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no more than
six months. The competent person inspection is referred to as Formal Inspection. An inspection log
must be filled out during the Formal Inspection, see section 5.4 "Inspection Log". In addition, the
inspection log on the Workman FP Stryder label must be marked or punched to indicate when the last
Formal Inspection occurred.
The program administrator shall maintain documentation of equipment inspections. This documenta-
tion shall include, at a minimum, the identity of the equipment, inspection date, name of the competent
or qualified person conducting the inspection and the result of that inspection.
The program administrator shall sett inspection criteria for the equipment. Such criteria shall equal or
exceed the most restrictive of the criteria established by the ANSI Z359.18 standard or the manufac-
turer's user instructions. Keep inspection criteria current in relationship to changing patterns or condi-
tions of use.

WARNING!
Inspect the Workman FP Stryder labels to verify that they are present and legible. See Section 6
"Markings And Labels" for the specific labels that should be present and the information
contained thereon. Check the Formal Inspection Log to be sure a Formal Inspection has been
performed within the last six months. If the Log does not indicate that a Formal Inspection has
been performed within the last six months, or if any labels are missing or illegible, remove the
device from use and mark it as "UNUSABLE" until a Formal Inspection is performed by a compe-
tent person.
Check the auto close action of the button. Depress button with thumb, and ensure auto closing.
If button fails these functional tests, return to maintain from service.
Check for structural defects and corrosion. Verify that are no missing, loose screw or altered
parts; that there are no cracks, deformations, or excessive corrosion.
Inspect the D-ring for deformation, damage, fractures, cracks, corrosion, deep pitting, burrs,
sharp edges, cuts, deep nicks, evidence of excessive heat or chemical exposures. Check the
pin with screw for no deformation, fractures, cracks, corrosion, pitting and nicks. Verify the screw
in the pin tightly. If the screws which connected with pins are loose, remove the device from use
and make It "UNUSABLE". Check the entire assembly for evidence of inadequate maintenance
of equipment, alteration, excessive wear, or any condition that calls to question the suitability of
the equipment for its intended purpose.
Inspect the load indicating D-ring connector for activation. If the device has been exposed to a
fall arrest force the window will be deformed, remove the device from use and make it "UNUS-
ABLE".
Inspect each component and subsystem of the complete system in accordance with the associ-
ated manufacturer's instructions. See section 3.1 "Planning the Use of Systems" for a descrip-
tion of the makeup of the different types of subsystem and systems.
