Published by SALUS

Fall protection equipment should be inspected before each use to ensure it is in good working condition. Additionally, a more thorough inspection should be conducted by a trained inspector at least once every three months. This regular inspection helps identify any wear, damage, or other issues that could compromise the safety of the equipment. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific inspection procedures and intervals, as these can vary based on the type of equipment and its usage conditions.
