Inspection
VISUAL INSPECTION
A complete visual inspection should be performed on the Portable Fall Arrest System equipment prior to the
operation. The following items should be checked, and the results recorded on the "Inspection Log" sheet
provided.
1. Check that all labels are clean and legible. Clean the lables if any are dirty using a mild soap and a damp
cloth. Replace if any are illegible by contacting Miller Fall Protection.
2. Check that all screws and other fasteners are tight. If any are loose, tighten as required. Contact your local
dealer or manufacturer for any replacement fasteners that may be required.
3. Check the components for cracks, dents, bends, or breaks. Minor cosmetic damage in the component
body will not affect the function of the Portable Fall Arrest System. If there are major dents or any other
structural damage, the unit should be removed from service and returned to the manufacturer for service.
4. Check all components for damage from corrosion. Although all components resist corrosion, working in
corrosive environments can lead to damage. Inspect all structural components and fasteners for signs of
damage. If corrosion damage is found, remove from service and return to the manufacturer for service.
FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION
A functional check should be performed on the Portable Fall Arrest System prior to every use. The following
functional tests should be done, and the results recorded on the "Inspection Log" sheet provided.
1. The Portable Fall Arrest System contains operational parts that may include pulleys and/or rollers. These
parts must be carefully checked for chips, cracks, or worn areas that can cause malfunction during opera-
tion of the system.
Make sure that all the adjustment points are in full functional condition. This may include parts that contain
pins, bolts, tri-screws, and adjusting screws. There are also mechanical adjustments which may include,
adjustable legs, sleeves, adjustable sliding blocks, and brackets. These areas must be kept clean from
debris and corrosion for proper functional use. If any of these parts of the system become damaged,
contact your local dealer or manufacturer for parts and/or service.
2. Refer to the manufacturer's operator's manual or instruction material for proper functional inspection
procedures for SRLs and accessories not covered by this manual.
