Positioning Rope Inspection

The worker is responsible for a routine inspection before each use. During this inspection, note any signs of degradation, wear, malfunction or breakage. The lanyard must be replaced if any such signs are detected.

In addition, the lanyard must be inspected by a qualified person other than the worker. The frequency varies by manufacturer: some require an inspection every 90 days, others every 180 days, or even yearly. These inspections should be performed more often in extreme working conditions. The recommended lifetime of a lanyard is 5 years; a lanyard used regularly and neglected in storage or maintenance will not last long. Any equipment that has withstood a fall or an impact must be scrapped.

Care and Cleaning

For cleaning, use a gentle soap and lukewarm water (37°C). Do not use bleach, chlorine or other abrasive or chemical products. If your lanyard is too dirty or contaminated, it is time to replace it. Air dry without excessive heat, in a clean environment; you can accelerate drying with a clean absorbent wipe or a fan. Avoid exposure to sunlight and to any sources of contamination.

Complementary Equipment Suggestions for Your Positioning System

To build a complete positioning system, first see the lumbar-support positioning belt (FPA805) that this rope connects to, and the Miller steel positioning chain (FPAM90) as a metal option. A full-body positioning-ring harness (FPH2000APLE) remains mandatory as basic protection.

Under "Accessories" at the bottom of the page, complete your equipment with the Peakworks class A contractor harness (FPH2000A), the quick-connect Koala harness (FPH-Koala), the tool strap (FPLA) and the Peakworks storage bag (FPBAG).
