I. Before Using the Lanyard
Before using this equipment the user should take certain steps to
ensure that it is in good condition and safe for use. Some lanyards
are manufactured with an exclusive Werner WebAlert Inspectable
Webbing that is designed to make these inspections easier. The
WebAlert Webbing has a contrasting internal color that will make cuts
or abrasions more visible. Any appearance of the internal WebAlert
color indicates that product should receive further examination by
a competent person before continued use. If a competent person
determines that the affected webbing or component has lost strength
then that product should be immediately removed from service.
a. Inspect
Examine all equipment thoroughly, daily before use, and periodically
by a competent person who is not the user. Verify the condition of
each component. If any damage, abnormalities or excessive wear
are found, the lanyard should be removed from service.
