Formal Inspection

MSA requires that all confined space systems be inspected by a
competent person other than the user at intervals of no more than six
months per applicable standard or as specified by a formal fall protection
program.
Record formal inspections in the provided Inspection Log. Do not use the
confined space system with a formal inspection date older than six (6)

Inspect the confined space system labels to verify that they
are present and legible.
If any labels are missing or illegible, remove the confined
space system from use and mark it as "UNUSABLE" until a
formal inspection is performed by a competent person.
Inspect confined space system for corrosion, cracks,
deformation, fractures, altered or missing elements, burns,
and heat and chemical exposures.
Inspect all metallic parts for deformation, fractures, cracks,
corrosion, deep pitting, burrs, sharp edges, cuts, deep nicks,
missing or loose parts, improper function, and evidence of
excessive heat or chemical exposures.
Inspect all non-metallic parts (i.e. foot pads and labels) for
cut, broken, excessively worn, missing and loose parts.
Labels are to be additionally checked in accordance with
Step 1 above. Inspect for evidence of burns and excessive
heat and chemical exposures.
Inspect each component and subsystem in accordance with
associated manufacturer's instructions.
