Dear all,

Is there any published standard or requirements that specify the inspection requirement (frequency and nature of inspection) and life of a full body harness for fall protection. Appreciate any reference regarding this in CoPs, Guidances, Standards etc.

Regards,

PN

If I remember correctly it was BS EN 361/362 with regards to manufacturers'.

Indg 367 will also help and it will refer you to BS EN 365.

Hope it helps,

RVThomson was faster than me :)

Dear all,

Thanks for the replies. Was wondering if there is any mention of shelf-life for these harnesses.

Regards,

Depends on use, manufacturers guidance, and date of manufacture. Regular documented inspections will also help.
