To be reliable, fall protection equipment must be regularly serviced, especially fall arresters. Gravitec offers an independent inspection service to help our clients keep their equipment in good working order.
ANSI Standard Z359.1-1992 requires that fall arrest devices be inspected "by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no more than one year." Some equipment may be exposed to harsh or damaging environments. Other items may be unused for extended periods.
Equipment may be sent to Gravitec for detailed, documented inspection performed according to manufacturer instructions. Written findings are forwarded to our clients for proof of inspection. For larger inspections, Gravitec sends inspectors to the site. Our inspectors are able to inspect and record approximately 15 to 20 soft-good items (lanyards, harnesses, anchor straps, etc.) an hour.
Besides keeping fall protection equipment in good order, Gravitec's inspections also enable our clients to track equipment purchases and perform cost analysis. Because the inspections offer a history of each piece, it allows employers to gauge value versus cost for that type of gear.
