Inspection Service, Maintenance and Re-Certification of Fall Arrest Systems
General Safety Regulations Personal Safety Equipment and Facilities - GNR.1031 of 30 May 1986
-
Fall Arrest Equipment means equipment used to arrest the person in a fall from an elevated position. It is necessary to maintain in a safe working condition such equipment to ensure that persons exposed to elevated positions is rendered safe. A preventive maintenance plan is required to inspect the equipment on an annual basis and rectify any faults that will cause the equipment to malfunction.
General Safety Regulations Personal Safety Equipment and Facilities - GNR.1031 of 30 May 1986
(2)Where it is not practicable to safeguard the condition or situation contemplated in sub-regulation (1), the employer or user of machinery, as the case may be, shall take steps to reduce the risk as much as is practicable, and shall provide free of charge and maintain in a good and clean condition such safety equipment and facilities as may be necessary to ensure that any person exposed to any such condition or a situation at a workplace or in the course of his employment or on premises where machinery is used is rendered safe.
(3)Taking into account the nature of the hazard that is to be countered, and without derogating from the general duties imposed on employers and users of machinery by sub-regulations (1) and (2), the safety equipment and facilities contemplated in sub-regulation (2) shall include, as may be necessary
(c) belts, harnesses, nets, fall arresters, lifelines, safety hooks, or any similar equipment of a type that will effectively protect persons against falls
On the next page is a checklist of items that, as a minimum should be checked on the equipment. If all is found to be in order, tick the relevant box and once the inspection has been completed, sign at the bottom of the checklist. Anything found to be unsafe must be listed. -

1. Fixed Horizontal Anchor Safety Lines and Travellers
-
1.1 Find certification plate and check that information is readable
-
1.2 Inspect anchor plates/bolts for deformation and check that it fastened with lock nut in position
-
1.3 Check if the pre-tensioner fall indicator did not deploy.(The fall indicator deploys at 250 kg)
-
1.4 Check that the tension level indicator indicates correct tension. (Tension on the line should be 80kg)
-
1.5 Check that the tensioners’ locking pins are in place and is bend in such a way that it could not fall out
-
1.6 There is a mark at the end of the tensioner where the cable enters, check that this mark on the cable did not pull away from the tensioner
-
1.7 Feel wire rope cable for any loose ends or broken strands
-
1.8 Inspect the intermediate support for any deformation and or cracks; also see that the cable moves freely through the support. See that the bolt is tight and that the locking nut is still on and tight
-
1.9 Check that the mark on the cable at the terminal did not move., also see that the safety pin is still bent in such a way that it cannot come out
-
1.10 Inspect fall arrest traveller for deformation and or other damage
-
1.11 Test function of arrest traveller on the wire rope system for smooth and effortless movement
-
1.12 Inspect the shock absorber by looking for deformation and that the shock absorber did not deploy, the shock absorber deploys at 200kg. If the shock absorber is pulled out there will be no tension on the line whatsoever
-
1.13 Change the shock absorber when needed
-
1.14 The components are made of 316L stainless steel, but some environments can still cause minor corrosion and therefore a thorough corrosion check is done
-
1.15 Check that stoppers (for restraint position) are in correct position and are secured
2. ISM Beam Trolley Devices
-
2.1 Test for free movement of wheels/bearings. Lubrication is usually necessary
-
2.2 Do corrosion check
-
2.3 Check proper fitment on beam and that the locking mechanism functioning
-
2.4 Check that the wear on the anchor ring not excessive
3. ISM Connectors
-
3.1 Correct function of the 3-way gate locking device
-
3.2 Do corrosion check
-
3.3 Deformation, cracks and chips
-
3.4 That it is connected in the correct way between the Beam Trolley Device/Runner and Fall Arrest & Evacuation Device
4. ISM Fall Arrest & Evacuation Block
-
4.1 Do corrosion check on casing, carry handle, hook, wire rope, screws and inside parts
-
4.2 Check for signs of deformation on the safety hook and also double locking function and proper closing of the gate
-
4.3 Ensure that all strands of the wire rope safety line are in good condition
-
4.4 Pull the wire rope lanyard at various lengths to test locking and releasing function.
-
4.5 Check that brake pawls are in good condition and functioning with its feather springs
-
4.6 Ensure that tension of the main spring is correct
-
