Maintenance of fall protection equipment
Maintenance of fall protection and inspection of fall protection equipment is a necessary
safety measure when working at height. The equipment must be checked before use and
it is therefore necessary to have a safe routine implemented in the daily workflow.
It is therefore important that employees are aware of fall protection maintenance.
However, it is the employer's duty to provide procedures for storage, maintenance,
repair and replacement of equipment. As described in EN 365, fall protection equipment
must undergo an annual inspection by an authorized or competent person. In addition,
any equipment that has been subjected to maximum loads or is in questionable
condition - must be discarded as it is no longer deemed to provide adequate safety.
