Harnesses

The importance of harness inspection systems

Falls are a major cause of serious injury when working at height. That's the reason why personal fall protection equipment, such as harnesses, can significantly reduce these risks. Regular inspections are essential to ensure that all safety equipment is in good working order. To avoid any risk and to ensure the safety and health of all employees, there are some mandatory inspections. A new harness must be checked to ensure it's free of defects and has the correct documentation.

Before each use, workers must visually check the harness for any apparent damage. A more detailed inspection by a competent person must be carried out at least every six months. Harnesses must also be inspected after a fall, if the harness has been exposed to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures and if the harness shows any signs of wear or damage. Our working at height inspection systems are designed to make it easy to communicate all inspection and safety information to the workers in your workplace.
