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.
