INSPECTION FOR LIFELINES (See Lifeline User instruction manual for complete details)
Step 1.
Lifeline hardware must not be damaged, broken, distorted, or have any sharp edges, burrs, cracks, worn
parts, or corrosion. Ensure the connecting hooks work properly. Hook gates must move freely and lock upon
closing.
Step 2.
Inspect the rope for concentrated wear. The material must be free of frayed strands, broken yarns, cuts,
abrasions, burns, and discoloration. The rope must be free of knots, excessive soiling, heavy paint buildup,
and rust staining. Rope splices must be tight, with five full tucks, and thimbles must be held by the splice.
Cracked or distorted rope thimbles may indicate that the lifeline has been impact loaded. Check for chemical
or heat damage (indicated by brown, discolored, or brittle areas). Check for ultraviolet damage, indicated by
discoloration and thepresence of splinters and slivers on the rope surface. All of the above factors are known
to reduce rope strength. Damaged or questionable ropes must be replaced.
Step 3.
Inspect labels. All labels must be present and fully legible. If labels missing or illegible, contact lifeline
manufacturer.
Step 4.
Record the inspection date and results in the inspection log found in the Lifeline User Instruction Manual.
