Personal Fall Protection Equipment Checklist

This checklist is designed to assist with inspection of the body harness and its attachments for wear, defects or damage. Inspection of fall protection equipment is a regulated requirement to be done before each use as well as once a year. Failure of the inspection process or loss of faith in any component indicates the entire unit must be removed from service. "Loss of faith" can be for a multitude of reasons, such as a fall, contact with a bad substance, or other obvious damage (i.e. dropped off roof, run over by a truck, stains) to age. If there are reasons not listed on the inspection form, loss of faith would be selected. The completed inspection checklist must be maintained so it is readily available for review.
