Inspection and Examination
6. The safe function of one item of equipment may interfere
with the safe function of another with certain combinations
of equipment. Always check components within a system
are compatible before use.

user should always be ensured.
8. If in any doubt about the use or care of SpanSet equipment,
please contact SpanSet.
9. An EN361 harness is the only acceptable body holding
device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
10. The users safety depends on the continued efficiency and
durability of the equipment.
11. If your harness is of the rescue type (2PR or 1PR) the

INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the harness to aid future
inspection, and examination.
The equipment must be given a full inspection when delivered
to site/works, and before every use.
Current European standards state at least every 12 months the
equipment must be visually examined by a competent person
authorised by SpanSet, and the results recorded. SpanSet
recommends inspection by a competent person every 6 months.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:-
Webbing
Check for cuts, cracks, tears, abrasion* and scorch marks, burns
or chemical attack.
Stitching
Look for broken stitch, loose or worn threads.
Metalware
Inspect for signs of damage/distortion/corrosion, and correct
operation of buckles.
Labelling
Ensure label details are legible.
Materials
All webbing and threads used in this harness are produced from
polyester.

* Local abrasion as distinct from general wear may be caused by
the passage of the webbing over sharp edges or protrusions while
under tension and may cause serious loss of strength. Slight
damage to outer fibres and occasional yarn may be considered
harmless but serious reduction in width or thickness of the
webbing or serious distortion to the weave pattern should lead to
rejection.
A harness should be immediately removed from service after
being subjected to any fall, or if in any doubt about the
harnesses condition. The harness shall not be used again until
it is confirmed in writing by a competent person that it is
acceptable to do so.
The harness may be cleaned or disinfected if required. The
following procedure must be adhered to. Use hand hot water
with a mild detergent or disinfectant, then rinse with clean
water, and allow drying naturally, out of direct sunlight. Any
detergent or disinfectant used must be compatible with
polyamide, and polyester.
If you require more information please contact SpanSet.
All equipment should be stored and transported in the following
manner:-
- To prevent contact with sharp objects that may damage the
fibres of the webbing.
- Away from harmful substances such as acids, alkalis, fuel,
paints, solvents that harm polyester and nylon fibres.
- Kept in a cool dry place free from direct sunlight, to prevent
degradation of the fibres from ultraviolet radiation.
- Wetness of the equipment should be allowed to dry
naturally away from direct heat.
PRODUCT LIFE
Whilst regular inspection and care of your equipment is
mandatory by European law, SpanSet recommends that with
regular use all products should be destroyed after 5 years from
date of first use. The product has an ultimate life span of 10
years from date of manufacture, even if never used.
