Harness maintenance and inspection is an essential part of safety when working at height. Follow these simple steps as part of your routine to ensure your harness will keep you safe.
All harnesses have an innovative self contained label pack for improved compliance. This is an integrated pack containing all information, labels and inspection record. This specialised pack protects labels from damage and minimises loss. Check the legibility of the harness serial number and ensure that the date for withdrawal has not passed.
Run your hands along each piece of webbing on the harness. You are looking for cuts, abrasions, burn marks or deterioration of the webbing. Each harness has sewing patterns, which also require checking. Look for cuts, broken threads, heat damage and stretching.
The hardware on the harness including Dee-rings and buckles, require checking for distortion, cracking and damage.
If you find any defects on your harness, remove it from service immediately. If unsure please contact us on 1300 139 166.
