Full body harness inspection

Full body harness inspection

The full body harness (FBH) is a critical piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect workers from falls by distributing their weight across the torso. The safety and integrity of these devices are paramount, especially in industries such as construction, oil & gas, and manufacturing where fall protection is essential.

Eurolab's full body harness inspection service ensures that your FBHs meet all relevant standards, including EN 362:2017, which specifies the performance requirements for fall arrest systems. During this inspection, Eurolab experts thoroughly examine the FBH to ensure it complies with these stringent standards.

The inspection process involves a series of detailed checks that cover various aspects of the harness:

  • Visual Inspection: A thorough visual examination is conducted to identify any visible damage or wear and tear. This includes checking for cuts, tears, burns, or other signs of deterioration.
  • Tensile Strength Testing: The harness is subjected to a tensile strength test to ensure it can withstand the forces exerted during a fall without failing.
  • Impact Force Measurement: The impact force experienced by the user in the event of a fall is measured. This helps determine if the harness will protect against injuries due to excessive force.
  • Load Tests: The harness is subjected to static and dynamic load tests to verify its structural integrity under simulated working conditions.

The results of these inspections are meticulously recorded, providing you with a comprehensive report that outlines any issues found during the inspection. This report serves as evidence that your FBHs meet the necessary safety standards and can be used in compliance audits.

At Eurolab, we understand that the safety of your workforce is non-negotiable. Our expert team ensures that each full body harness undergoes a rigorous inspection process to guarantee its reliability and performance. By choosing our service, you are investing in the safety and well-being of your employees.
