How often should fall protection equipment be inspected?
Generated on: September 14, 2025
To ensure worker safety and regulatory compliance, personal fall protection systems should be inspected before each use. Notify your supervisor or employer of any broken, defective, or missing protective equipment. Permanent anchors should be inspected by a competent person at least once a year or according to the manufacturer's instructions. Keep records of these inspections, including the date, inspector's name and signature, and any modifications or repairs. Safety nets should be checked daily, or as recommended by the manufacturer or as required by law. [1] [1] [2] [3]
