Harness Hardware
(Table 1)
Inspect all harness hardware for damage, including all attachment
elements, buckles, adjusters, and other elements. Each of these
items must not be damaged, broken, or distorted. Each item must
also be free of any sharp edges, burrs, cracks, worn parts, or
corrosion. PVC-coated hardware must be free of cuts, rips, tears,
and holes in the coating to ensure non-conductivity. Ensure all
buckles and adjusters operate smoothly.
Webbing & Stitching
(Figure 17)
Inspect the webbing of the harness across all areas. All webbing
material must be free of cuts (A), fraying (B), heavy soiling (C),
and welding burns (D). Check for tears, abrasions, mold, burns,
discoloration, and broken fibers. Check for pulled or cut stitches.
Broken stitches may indicate that the harness has been impact
loaded and must be removed from service.
Stitched Impact Indicators
(Figure 18)
Verify all Impact Indicators are intact. Impact Indicators are
sections of webbing lapped back on themselves and secured with
a specific stitch pattern. This stitch pattern is designed to release
when the harness arrests a fall or is exposed to equivalent force.
If an Impact Indicator has been activated (indicated), then the
harness must be removed from service and destroyed.
Labels (Figure 16)
All labels are present and fully legible.
