FALL PROTECTION INSPECTION FORMS

A horizontal lifeline is a critical component of fall arrest systems, providing flexibility and mobility while working at heights. Inspections should be conducted by a competent person before each use to ensure optimal condition and compliance.

A competent person is someone designated by their employer, possessing the necessary skills and knowledge to recognize fall hazards and take corrective measures. They are responsible for conducting inspections and overseeing the fall protection program at the work site.

Trigger height refers to the minimum vertical distance at which fall protection is required, as specified by health administration regulations. Ensuring that all personnel working above this height are equipped with a personal fall arrest system is a critical component of a fall protection work plan.

Equipment failure can lead to severe accidents and injuries. Regular formal inspections help ensure the proper functioning of fall protection equipment and identify any damage or wear that could compromise safety.

A full-body harness should be inspected for damage and wear before each use and also undergo a detailed formal inspection periodically as part of an ongoing fall protection program.

The employer must ensure that all fall protection measures are in place, conduct inspections, provide training, and maintain compliance with safety regulations to protect the health and safety of all personnel at the site.
