| FALL ARREST AND RESCUE EQUIPMENT: HOW MUCH DAMAGE IS ACCEPTABLE?
|
| Whether you are inspecting fall arrest or rescue equipment, one of the issues you'll confront is whether to retire the gear or return it to the cache. For students in both our rescue operations and fall protection competent person classes, being able to inspect equipment and answer this question is one of the key learning outcomes.
Equipment used in the field doesn't have to be new, but it must be able to perform as new.
If you are administering a comprehensive fall protection program (as described in ANSI Z359.2) your organization should have consistent criteria for when to retire equipment. This criteria should address the age of the equipment, acceptable levels of wear and tear, and whether that equipment is still appropriate for the work and rescue activities being undertaken.
Unfortunately, few organizations have developed these sorts of guidelines. They tend to leave it to the judgment of the equipment inspector and different inspectors may use different criteria.
