There have been many instances all over the world of experienced workers falling to their deaths or becoming severely injured as a result of faulty safety equipment. No matter how experienced you think you are when it comes to working at height, it is crucial for both the safety of yourself and those around you that you thoroughly inspect your safety harness and equipment before use.
To help you out, this blog will explain how to inspect a safety harness step-by-step! Let’s get started.
There are several different types of safety harness inspection, all of which are essential in their own way.
A quick, visual and tactile check known as a ‘pre-use check’ should be performed by the user before each and every use of a safety harness. The key components of a pre-use safety harness inspection include:
If you spot any of these signs of damage, the harness must be removed from service immediately, tagged “Do Not Use” and reported to a supervisor.
A detailed, formal inspection should be carried out by a trained, competent person every 6 months at a minimum to confirm that the equipment is safe and meets regulatory standards. These detailed inspections should be systematic, in-depth and documented, with mandatory written reports of any findings and defects. Due to the in-depth nature of these checks, they often involve testing and disassembly.
If a harness is subjected to heavy use or is often used in harsh conditions, a detailed inspection should be conducted every 3 months.
By following the safety harness inspection steps above, you will no doubt reduce the likelihood of accidents occurring when working at height.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we strive to make working conditions as safe as possible by providing the highest quality safety equipment available. If you work at height often and require new, quality equipment that will ensure your safety, then why not check out our collection of safety harnesses?

Different types of work require different safety measures. Therefore, it is vital that when working at height, you are properly equipped to complete the specific task-at-hand. However, with so many different working environments, operations and equipment, it can be a challenge to know exactly what type of equipment is needed for what task. Here, we break down the features of working at height, what is required when doing so and the several different working conditions, providing the necessary equipment needed to carry out work in the safest possible way.
Managing work at height follows a hierarchy of controls – avoid, prevent, restrain, arrest, which begins with the question “can the work be done safely from the ground?” Fall arrest equipment should only be considered as a last resort if other safety equipment cannot be used. For situations where work cannot be completed from the ground collective protection equipment such as nets and railings must be considered first.
A common solution is utilising scaffolding or mobile platform (MEWP) that provide easy and safe access at height. If none of the above methods can be implemented, individual fall protection equipment safeguarding from falls must be used. i.e. restraint equipment.
The basic features of individual fall protection equipment protecting against a fall from height are:
RESTRAINT:
FALL ARREST:
All fall protection systems must comprise three basic components:
As mentioned, different work conditions consist of different height safety requirements and procedures as a result of the environment they occur in and the dangers involved. Here we take a look and break down the safety requirements for working on a roof, fragile surfaces, ladders and scaffolds and the correct equipment that is needed to carry out work safely.
All work on roofs is highly dangerous, even a job that can take only minutes to complete consist of potentially fatal risks. Therefore, proper precautions are needed to control all the risks that are involved. The individuals managing and conducting the work need to be properly trained, competent and must fully plan the work to be completed in relation to the main risks, causes of accidents and equipment required.
Falls from roofs, either through fragile surfaces and openings or from roof edges can occur on both commercial and domestic projects as well as new build and refurbishment jobs. Many deaths happen every year involving smaller buildings working on the roof of domestic dwellings, which tend to fall under two types:
Work on a fragile surface roof requires a combination of stagings, guard rails, fall arrest and safety nets slung beneath and close to the roof. All roofs should be treated as fragile until they have been confirmed as not. Fragile rooflights are also a hazard as some may be difficult to spot in certain light conditions or maybe hidden by paint. These areas must be protected by using either barriers or covers that are secured and labelled with a warning. Here at SLG, we provide a number of products that ensure when working on sloping and flat roofs, you are completely protected against falls. You can view our best products for working on flat roofs below.

Every time a ladder is used to carry out work at height, a pre-use check needs to be conducted to ensure that it is safe for use. This should be carried out by:
The benefit of carrying out pre-use checks is to identify any immediate or serious defects that can cause an accident. The areas of most concern are the ladder’s stiles, feet and rungs. Once this has been completed and you are satisfied that the ladder is in good working condition, you must then ensure that all of the required safety precautions to carry out work whilst on the ladder are in place, including wearing the right equipment. At SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a range of secure ladder safety equipment that ensures your safety whilst working at height, including quality fall protection kits.

Tower scaffolds are one method used to prevent a fall when working at height on a sloped roof. The type of scaffold selected needs to be suitable for the work and erected and dismantled by people who have been trained and are competent to do so. However, despite scaffolds existing to prevent a fall, dangers still exist once the scaffold has been set up, with many people injured each year as a result of falling from them. Incidents with scaffolds often occur as a result of dangerous methods of erection or dismantling, defects in the erected scaffold or the scaffold being misused. To ensure maximum safety whilst working on a scaffold, it is recommended that all workers wear appropriate protective equipment, such as specialist scaffold harnesses. You can view ours below!

When using mobile elevated work platforms such as cherry pickers and access platforms, there are a number of safety precautions that need to be implemented in order to avoid and prevent falls from occurring. Such as:
If all of these things are adhered to, then the likelihood of a fall or serious consequences as a result of a fall occurring is dramatically decreased. You can find our best-selling access platform harness below!

In order to avoid potentially fatal falls when working at height, it’s vitally important that you understand the specific requirements of every task you carry out. The working environment needs to be assessed by competent and qualified people, who can identify dangers and hazards before they cause a real accident. When the work is actually being carried out, the importance of wearing the correct equipment as well as setting up the necessary safety precautions cannot be understated. As well as the above products, we supply a whole range of height safety equipment, perfect for a variety of operations at height. You can browse our extensive collection below.

Modular spreader beams are an essential piece of equipment when you need to lift and transport extremely heavy loads!
Typically, slings are the go-to solution to lift loads and equipment. However, when doing so, additional horizontal forces are placed on the sling because its angles are less than 90-degrees. These added forced place stress to the weight that’s being lifted and therefore requires a larger lifting force to safely lift and transport the load.
Modular spreader beams are an excellent bit of kit, as they completely eliminate these horizontal forces by creating a mainly compressive force which is distributed across the lugs that are attached to the load. This allows the spreader beam to carry a great deal of weight compared to its size.
Here are at SafetyLiftinGear, we stock a wide range of modular spreader beams that can lift loads of up to 70 tonnes and are adjustable in length, making them an extremely versatile piece of equipment that can be used for a variety of lifting applications.
