Fall Protection Inspection & Maintenance
Harness & Rings
- While holding the body side of the belt or harness strap toward you, bend the strap into a “U” shape and examine the entire length of the harness strap or belt
- Check “D” rings for any distortion, cracks, breaks or rough, sharp edges. The “D” ring should pivot freely
- Attachment buckles should be checked for any unusual wear, frayed or cut fibers, or distortion of buckles
- Friction and Mating Buckles – Again, inspect the buckles for distortion. The outer bars must be straight and center bar must be straight and parallel
