All components of Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS), Personal Fall Restraint Systems (PFRS) and Positioning Device Systems (PDS) must be inspected prior to each use according to the manufacturer's specifications. This inspection should check for mildew, wear, damage, and other deterioration. Any defective components that could adversely affect the function or strength of the system must be removed from service. Safety nets should be inspected at least once a week, also following the manufacturer's specifications, for similar issues and after any occurrence that could affect the integrity of the net system.
