INSPECTION |
|
NFPA Standard 1983, Fire Service Rope, Harnesses, and
Hardware, 2001 edition, recommends inspection after each use
by a qualified person. ANSI AI 0.14, Requirements for
Safety Belts, Harnesses, Lanyards, Lifelines, and Drop Lines
for Construction and Industrial use, requires items to be
visually inspected before each use, and that they be
inspected at least twice annually and the date recorded.
ANSI Z359.1 Standards for personal Fall Arrest Systems,
Subsystems and Components requires that equipment be
inspected before each use and that they be inspected at
least annually by a competent person other than the user.
When the inspections reveal any defects in, damage to, or
inadequate maintenance of the equipment, the equipment must
be immediately removed from service and either destroyed or
undergo adequate corrective maintenance by a qualified
organization before being returned to service. Rescue
Systems Inc. recommends that each department or organization
develop its own standards and procedures for inspection
which are no less stringent than those cited above.
Each user should be trained in the proper inspection
procedures. We recommend that all products be
inspected when purchased, and before and after each use, and
by a qualified non-user at least twice annually.
Detailed records of all inspections should be kept. |
