Harness Inspections - Weekly Checklist Kit

Carry out pre-use checks and spot potential faults before they develop into a more serious and costly defect. These safety checklists are designed to help improve safety, reduce maintenance costs and ensure compliance with legal responsibilities. Inspections of PPE plays a key role in protecting the technicians who use it. It is important in ensuring the continued safety of those using life saving equipment. Correct and thorough inspection also ensures that organisations are compliant and not left open to litigation. There should never be any doubt about the continued serviceability of an item of equipment.

Attaching a tag to equipment provides a clear visual reminder to carry out a pre-use inspection and allows a completed checklist to be placed inside the tag to show the findings and date of inspection. Our weekly inspection kit provides everything required for a full year of weekly checks and is designed to help improve safety, reduce maintenance costs and ensure compliance with legal responsibilities.

Pre-use checks are essential and should be carried out each time, by a competent person, before the product is used. Pre-use checks should be tactile and visual and the whole item should be subject to the check. A visual check should be undertaken in good light and will normally take a few minutes. Detailed and interim inspections of the harness should also be carried out and recorded at regular intervals. Ref: The Work At Height Safety Association (Technical Guidance Note 3)

Each kit contains 50 individual (weekly) checklists relating to components and structural checks to be completed before the harness is used. Duplicate carbon copies of the completed checklists are retained in the book for management records. The book also includes useful guidance notes to remind operatives what to look for during their inspection.

Weekly Harness Inspection Kit includes:
• 1 x Status Tags to attach to the equipment and show its status.
• 2 x Safety Check Books provide 50 individual checklists, allowing one to be completed each week and the findings displayed inside the status tag. Additional books can be ordered as and when required.
• 1x Check Book Wallet & Pen, to store the current book and provide a suitable writing surface when completing checklists.
• 100 x Tamper Evident Seals, which can be used to deter and identify unauthorised access to the status tag.
