CHECK SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR SERVICEABILITY
You will need to check that all parts of the safety systems for serviceability. You need to
check that fall protection equipment is safely adjusted and that you are using the correct
safety equipment to suit the work as each part of the job is finished.
It is very important that if a worker were to fall while attached to a safety system, all
parts of that system are then checked by a competent person to make sure they are still
in good condition and secure. In some cases, various parts of the system may need to be
replaced before any more work can continue.
