Silverline harnesses, lanyards and work positioning belts are
issued with a declaration of conformity which should be kept
safe for future reference.
Inspection & Pre-Use Checks
A thorough visual inspection should be carried out on all products before use.
This inspection should include (but is not limited to) the following:
• Check all webbing for signs of cuts, abrasions, fraying, tears, burns, mould,
discolouration or chemical attack
• Check all stitching for signs of loose threads, pulling or cuts. Stitch pattern
must be identical on both sides
WARNING: If the pattern is not visible because of paint etc, DO NOT USE.
• Buckles and D-rings must be free from rust, distortion, excessive wear
or cracks
• Lanyards must be no longer than 2m
NOTE: If, during inspection, any part of the fall arrest system is deemed to be
faulty, it must be removed from service and destroyed. Repairs, modifications or
alterations must not be carried out on any of these products.
NOTE: All Silverline harnesses and lanyards are designed to arrest a fall from
height ONCE ONLY.
WARNING: If the harness/lanyard has been subjected to a fall arrest then it
must be removed from service immediately and destroyed.
