Inspect harnesses before each use and have a thorough inspection by a competent person at least every six months, or more often if required by the manufacturer or if used heavily.
PFPE stands for Personal Fall Protective Equipment, which is used in fall arrest systems to prevent accidents.
Check the lanyard material (webbing, cable, or rope), hardware (buckles, rings, snap hooks), stitching, and label. For energy-absorbing lanyards, inspect the energy absorber pack carefully.
Safety harnesses must be checked before and after each use and undergo a thorough inspection by a competent person every six months, or more frequently in harsh conditions.
A competent person—someone with proper training and appointed by the employer—must perform the annual inspection.
In this context, PFPE means Personal Fall Protective Equipment.
Energy-absorbing lanyards should be inspected at least every six months, or every three months if used in strenuous conditions.
Lanyards typically last 5–10 years, depending on type, use, and maintenance, but may need replacing sooner due to wear and tear.
A competent person must inspect harnesses before first use and at intervals not exceeding six months (or three months in demanding conditions). Users should also perform a visual and tactile check before each use.
