Inspection and service life — ExoFit X100 harness verification guide

The worker is responsible for performing a routine inspection before each use. During this inspection, look for any sign of degradation, wear, malfunction, or breakage. The harness must be replaced at the slightest sign of failure. A qualified person other than the worker must inspect the harness at regular intervals: some manufacturers prescribe inspection every 90 days, others every 180 days or annually. The more demanding the working conditions, the more frequent the inspections should be.

The recommended service life of a harness is 5 years for regular use. Any equipment subjected to a fall or impact must be immediately taken out of service. Sylprotec offers a professional harness inspection service. Visit the Service tab on our website for more information.

Air dry without excessive heat in a clean environment. Avoid exposure to sunlight or any source of contamination during storage.
