WARNING!
• If the harness is damaged or is subjected to fall arrest forces or impact forces, it must be immediately removed from
service and marked as "UNUSABLE" until it has been destroyed.
• Due to the nature of some fall arrest events, it is possible for the fall arrest indicator to not deploy. In the event that a
harness is subjected to fall arrest forces and the fall arrest indicator does not deploy, the harness still must be removed
from service and marked as "UNUSABLE" until it has been destroyed.
• Broken or pulled stitches in the fall arrest indicator show that the harness had experienced fall arrest forces or
degradation due to environmental factors. Do not use a harness with broken or pulled stitches in the fall arrest indicator.
Immediately remove the harness from service and mark it as "UNUSABLE" until it has been destroyed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
5.2
Formal Inspection
MSA requires that all harnesses be inspected by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no more than one year
per applicable standard or as specified by a formal fall protection program. Record formal inspections in the provided
Inspection Log. Punch or indelibly mark the inspection grid attached to the harness. Do not use a harness with a formal
inspection date older than one (1) year unless under provision of formal inspection program. MSA recommends that harnesses
with formal inspection dates older than one (1) year be tagged "UNUSABLE" and removed from service until after formal
inspection.

Inspection Procedure
1. Inspect all webbing (straps) and stitching for cuts, fraying, pulled or broken threads, abrasion, excessive wear, altered or
missing straps, burns, UV damage, and heat and chemical exposures.
2. Inspect all parts for deformation, cracks, corrosion, deep pitting, burrs, sharp edges, cuts, nicks, exposure to excessive
heat or chemicals or other damage. Check for missing, loose or improperly functioning parts.
