PPE you can trust is PPE you inspect
Train every user before first use, and have a rescue plan ready before anyone works at height.
- Inspect before every use: webbing and stitching for cuts, abrasion, burns or chemical damage; buckles, D-rings and loops for deformation, cracks or corrosion; the label must be legible.
- Withdraw the harness from use after it has arrested a fall, or if any part fails inspection. Don't repair it on site.
- Fit it snugly: adjust shoulder, chest and thigh straps so a flat hand just fits under each strap.
- Connect for fall arrest only at the points marked for it. Work-positioning points are not fall-arrest points.
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Store in a cool, dry place away from UV and direct sunlight, chemicals and sharp edges.
- Have a competent person examine it periodically as your regulations require. Ask us for the inspection checklist.
