| The ABC's of Fall Prevention |
|

|
 |
| EQUIPMENT INSPECTION |
|
Conscientious inspection of Fall Protection Equipment is essential to ensure proper product performance and the safety of the user.
|
| INSPECTION FREQUENCY |
|
INSPECTION GUIDELINES - REMOVAL FROM SERVICE |
- Equipment should be inspected by the user before
each use.
- A formal inspection should be performed annually by a
competent person.
- After fall arrest, equipment shall not be used again,
until inspected and determined by a competent person
to be undamaged and suitable for reuse. Some items
require factory verification.
- RECORDKEEPING: Inspections should be recorded
in a centralized logbook and should include: date of
purchase, date of inspection, serial number, any service or maintenance performed and the signature of the inspector.
|
|
HARDWARE: Check all hardware components for damage
such as: Distortion, Corrosion, Burrs, Cracks and Worn
Parts. Moving parts should move freely.
WEBBING: Inspect webbing for: Frays, Cuts, Broken
Fibers, Tears, Abrasion, Mold, Burns, UV Degradation,
Heavy Soiling and Discoloration. Inspect all Stitching for
Snags, Cut or Broken Stitches.
WIRE AND SYNTHETIC ROPE: Inspect for: Cuts, Kinks,
Broken Strands, Abrasions, Corrosion or Chemical Contact.
ACCESSORIES: All Pads and Keepers should be in place and free of Cuts or Cracks. Inspect Impact Indicators if present.

|
|
If inspection or operation reveals damage, remove the product immediately from service, destroy it or send it to an authorized service center for evaluation.
|
|
| MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE |
|
Most webbing and hardware can be washed with mild soap and detergent, using water and a rag to remove excess grease, dirt or grime. The equipment should be allowed to air dry, out of direct sunlight.  Do not machine wash to clean Fall Protection Equipment. Some hardware may require lubrication; however any hardware that comes into contact with webbing should be free from grease or solvents. Service and maintenance should only be performed by Factory Authorized Service Centers.
Equipment should be stored in a cool, dry, dark location that is free from environmental and mechanical damage. Protective bags should be used for storage.
|
| SWING FALL HAZARD AND FALL CLEARANCE |
|
|
 |
|
When setting up and using a Personal Fall Arrest System,
clearance and swing fall hazards are critical issues. There must be sufficient clearance below to prevent the user from striking the ground or other objects. This determination must be made by the user. Please refer to the chart.
Lack of planning or understanding can lead to
serious personal injury or death.
