It is the responsibility of the user and the Purchaser of this equipment to assure they are familiar with these instructions and
are trained in the proper use, installation, operation, maintenance and limitations of this equipment. Training should be
conducted periodically and without exposing the trainee to a fall hazard.
Since no fall protection equipment regardless of how effective can save an employee who is not trained in its use. To meet this
crucial requirement, please ask your supplier to offer the training and make sure before you use the PPE, you are the competent
person.
General product inspection required for all system components
Always do a visual inspection of the safety harness before use. Inspect system and its components for any of the Following:
Bent, cracked, distorted, worn, malfunctioning or damaged parts; rough or sharp edges; loose fasteners or missing
parts/components; 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 component/system. If in doubt, contact the
manufacturer.
Cross-Arm Straps: When inspecting the webbing, be sure to inspect each section, rotating and flexing, to reveal any damage,
cuts, broken strands/fibers, pulled stitches, burns, environmental or chemical damage, unusual wearing patterns, or signs of
deterioration. Inspect hardware for distortion, cracks, breaks, corrosion, pitted surfaces, and rough or sharp edges.
Roof Anchors: In addition to the general inspection, carefully inspect rivets, studs and fasteners to ensure that all are present,
securely tightened or clinched, and are not damaged in any way. Check O-ring and chain for any damage, cracks, distortion,
rough or sharp edges. Chain must not be twisted or have any kinks. Anchor side plates should be flat and free of corrosion.
Webbing of Harness & Lanyard
When inspecting harness or lanyard, begin at upper to bottom side. Slowly rotate the harness or lanyard so that the entire
circumference is checked. Inspect webbing for cuts, frays, burns, broken fibers and excessive wear. Also inspect for signs of
environmental or chemical damage.
Carabiner & Snap hook
Inspect closely for carabiner and snap hook distortions, cracks, breaks, corrosion, pitted surfaces, and rough or sharp edges.
The gate 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.
Energy Absorber
The outer portion of the pack should be examined for burn holes and tears. Stitching on areas where the pack is sewn to the
webbing and hardware should be examined for loose strands, rips, deterioration or other signs of activation. Pack-style shock
absorbers will break open to release the core contents when subjected to fall arrest forces. Any signs of breakage, rips or tears
should be noted as an indication of deployment.
