Inspecting the Anchor Point:
Step 1: Inspect the anchor points for distortion and structural damage, such as excessive bending, rust, or elongation.
Step 2: Inspect the anchor points for damage or corrosion. Inspect for cracks or wear that may affect strength and operation.
Step 3: Inspect the attaching fasteners. Fasteners must hold the anchor point securely to the anchorage. Inspect for damage or corrosion.
Step 4: Inspect the system components according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 5: Record the inspection results.
Inspecting the Harness and Body Wear:
Step 1: Inspect harness components for damage, distortion, cracks, worn parts, corrosion, or wear that might affect integrity.
Step 2: Inspect webbing components for cuts, broken fibers, tears, abrasions, mold, burns, or discoloration. Inspect stitching for possible
breaks and identify any load indicators that might have deployed to indicate a fall.
