Harness Inspection: Ensuring Safety at Every Level
A harness is a cornerstone of safety equipment, especially in the construction industry. Regular inspections, conducted by a competent person, are not just a recommendation—they’re a vital part of maintaining safety standards. This process should include pre-use inspection, as well as regular, detailed periodic inspection performed by a certified, competent person. HSE guidelines suggest a documented inspection by a competent person at least every 6 months.
Our Harness Inspection Form is designed to meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) inspection requirements. It includes sections for recording the serial number, date of first use, date of manufacture, owner/company, and inspector details. This form ensures all critical aspects of your safety harness are meticulously documented and assessed, providing peace of mind that your fall protection equipment adheres to the highest standards of safety.
A serial number is not just an identifier; it’s a key to tracking your equipment’s inspection history. Ensure this number is legible and logged during each detailed report.
Both the harness and its accompanying lanyard are subject to inspection. Wear, defective wiring harnesses, and damage from sharp edges or chemical exposure can all affect the performance of fall arrest equipment.
Your Safety Record Each routine inspection and interim inspection should be documented. Our inspection form facilitates this process, ensuring you have a comprehensive inspection report for every piece of personal fall protection equipment.
For a more formal inspection, consider partnering with a third-party company, like Malta Dynamics. We can help facilitate these detailed reports, ensuring your full body harness and related safety equipment meet the highest standards.
Our goal is to ensure that every harness inspection contributes to an unbroken chain of safety. From a routine pre-use inspection to a detailed annual inspection, our forms and guidelines support a culture of safety at every turn.
