What this sheet is for
Tie an inspection record to a specific piece of equipment by serial number, and record what was found and what was done about it.

Page 1
Printed under the title: Pre-use and periodic checks for harnesses, lanyards and anchor lines, with the serial numbers that tie a record to a piece of kit.
The manufacturer and your rules set the criteria. No pass or fail criteria, no inspection intervals and no service life are printed on this sheet. They are set by the manufacturer and by the law where you are working, they differ between products, and detailed inspection usually has to be done by a competent person. Check what applies and record the result here.
How to use this sheet
- Record the serial number and date of manufacture from the label. Without them, an inspection record belongs to no particular harness.
- Anything failed goes out of service immediately and is quarantined, not left in the van.
- Record who inspected it and what makes them competent to.

Questions
Why are no pass or fail criteria printed?
Because they are set by the manufacturer for that product, and printing generic ones would be worse than printing none. Detailed inspection also usually has to be done by a competent person, and how often differs by country and by workplace. Check what applies and record the result here.
