Are the Ropes in good conditionHarness Details Details1. Is the Webbing in good condition?Cuts or tearsAbrasion damage especially where there is contact with hardwareExcessive stretchingDamage due to contact with heat, corrosives, or solventsDeterioration due to rotting, mildew, or ultraviolet exposure2. Are the Snap Hooks and Karabiners in good condition?Distortion of hook or latchCracks or forging foldsWear at swivels and latch pivot pinOpen rollersFree movement of the latch over its full travelBroken, weak or misplaced latch springs (compare with a new snap hook)Free from dirt or other obstructions, e.g. rust3. Are the D-rings in good condition?Excessive ‘vertical’ movement of the straight portion of the D-ring where it is retained by the webbing, so that the corners between the straight and curved sections of the D become completely exposed.(NOTE: Excessive vertical movement of the ring in its mounting can allow the nose of larger snap hooks to become lodged behind the straight portion of the D, in which position the snap hook can often accidentally ‘roll out’ of the D under load.)Cracks, especially at the intersection of the straight and curved portionsDistortion or other physical damage of the D-ringExcessive loss of cross-section due to wear4. Are the Buckles and Adjusters in good condition?Distortion of other physical damageCracks and forging laps where applicableBent tonguesOpen rollers5. Is the Sewing in good condition?Broken, cut or worn threadsDamage or weakening of threads due to contact with heat, corrosives, solvents or mildew6. Are the Ropes in good condition?CutsAbrasion or frayingStretchingDamage due to contact with heat, corrosives, solvents, etc.Deterioration due to ultraviolet light or mildew7. Are the Chains in good condition?Physical damageSecurity of attachments to snap hooks, rings, similar componentsInertia Reel Inspection ChecklistYesNo1. Rope2. Anchorage Body3. Locking Mechanism and Rope Guides4. Snap Hooks and LinksInertia Reel Details Details1. RopeMake sure the rope can be fully extended and retracts (winds back) back properly.Check the entire length of the rope for any damage (abrasion, fraying, stretching, evidence of contact with heat or chemicals).Make sure you give the rope a firm pull while it is fully extended to test that it is securely attached to the drum of the inertial reel.2. Anchorage BodyThe main 2 parts to check on the anchorage body are the mounting ring and the casing.Check that there is no visible damage to either of these components.Also check that there are no loose or missing parts.3. Locking Mechanism and Rope GuidesCheck for any wear or damage.Check that the locking mechanism is working correctly and holds securely.Check that the rope rewinds completely without loss of tension.4. Snap Hooks and LinksMake sure the locking action is working on these parts and that there are no signs of damage or wear.CommentsSubmit Form
