This checklist is designed to assist with inspection of the body harness and its attachments for wear, defects or damage. Inspection of fall protection equipment is a regulated requirement to be done before each use as well as once a year. Failure of the inspection process or loss of faith in any component indicates the entire unit must be removed from service. "Loss of faith" can be for a multitude of reasons, such as a fall, contact with a bad substance, or other obvious damage (i.e. dropped off roof, run over by a truck, stains) to age. If there are reasons not listed on the inspection form, loss of faith would be selected. The completed inspection checklist must be maintained so it is readily available for review.
