Fall Protection

Harness and Lanyard

It’s very important to conduct this inspection to ensure that only undamaged fall protection equipment is available for use. For more information see: 29 CFR 1910.66 appendix C, and the ISO standard ICS 13.340.60.

Inspect your equipment regularly.

Identify and list all positioning and climbing assist equipment found on the rig (for example, the derrickman's belt, derrick climber belt, etc.). Inspect the equipment; any harness or lanyard that is not in good condition should be tagged "DO NOT USE" and removed from working areas.
