Inspection/Removing Product From Service
l
PFLs that have arrested a fall or are unable to pass an inspection shall be tagged “UNUSABLE” and disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.
l
Due to the nature of some fall arrest events, it is possible for the load indicator to not deploy. In the event that a PFL is
subjected to fall arrest forces and the load indicator does not deploy, the PFL still must be removed from service and
marked as “UNUSABLE” until it has been destroyed.
l
If the load indicator is deployed, immediately remove the PFL from service and mark it as “UNUSABLE” until it has
been destroyed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
