Fall protection equipment should be inspected regularly to ensure safety and functionality. According to the General Regulation (N.B. Reg. 91-191), each component of a fall-protection system must be inspected visually by the employee before use during a shift and by a competent person before initial use and periodically as recommended by the manufacturer, installer, or an engineer [1]. Additionally, personal fall-protection system components should be inspected by the employee prior to each use and periodically according to the manufacturer's specifications [1]. If any defects or inadequacies are found during these inspections, the equipment must not be used until the issues are resolved [1].
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
