Pre-Use & In Use Checks
Section 6.0
6.1 Harnesses and Lanyards
Equipment should be certified and marked to the appropriate national standard, always refer to the manufactures instructions
for use. Always wear a full body harness. Examine harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines or controlled rate descent devices
in accordance with their manufacturer’s instructions to ascertain if they are serviceable. If in doubt do not use them. If these items
have been subjected to a fall they must be serviced or discarded. When not in use these articles need to be stored in a clean, cool,
dry area, free from chemical fumes or corrosive elements. Direct sunlight, heat, steam, undue vibration and sharp implements must
also be avoided. Preferably, fall arrest equipment like this should, when not required for use, be kept in dedicated cabinets which
permit adequate ventilation.
6.2 The Anchor
Carry out a visual inspection to check that the Anchor(s) components have not been subjected to damage between periods of use.
• Check for any obvious damage such as cracks, heavy indentations, deformation or severe corrosion.
(Deformation and indentations may be evidence that a fall has occurred
• Check for chemical contamination (e.g. discolouration) and heat damage, (e.g. weld splatters)
• Check for loose fixings
• Check the maximum number of users
• Check that the Anchor certification is valid
• Check that the anchor has not been deployed
• Check that the ground clearance is still the same as detailed on installation and that there is no risk of collision in the event
of a fall - including swing fall (pendulum fall) hazards.
If any of the above is questionable do not use the Anchor and report to a Certified 3M Fall Protection Installer.
