Rope Grabs:
a ) Inspect for physical damage, cracks, wear and
corrosion.
b ) Check cam and springs for damage or loss of
tension.
c ) Check pawl and locking mechanism.
d ) Be sure that all parts move freely without
hesitation.
e ) Check rivets for damage, cracks, wear or
corrosion.
f ) Inspect for malfunctioning components, broken
or missing springs.
Vertical Lifelines:
a ) Rotation of the rope lifeline while inspecting
from end-to-end will bring to light any fuzzy,
worn, broken or cut fibers. Weakened areas from
extreme loads will appear as a noticeable change
in original diameter. Following a brief break-in
period, the rope diameter should be uniform
throughout..
b ) Snap Hooks/Carabiners: Inspect closely for hook
and eye distortions, cracks, corrosion, or pitted
surfaces.
c ) The gate (latch) should seat into the nose
without binding and should not be distorted or
obstructed.
d ) The gate spring should exert sufficient force to
firmly close the gate. Gate locks must prevent the
gate from opening when the gate closes.
UP
e ) Thimbles: The thimble must be firmly seated in
the eye of the splice, and the splice should have
no loose or cut strands. The edges of the thimble
must be free of sharp edges, distortion, or cracks.
f ) If inspection reveals a defect in condition, remove
the device from service. Any equipment that
has been subjected to a fall should be removed
from service. Products removed from service
should be disposed of in a manner that prevents
inadvertent further use.
