MAINTAIN YOUR FALL HARNESS?

1. Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning the fall harness. In most cases, the harness can be washed by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as this may damage the materials of the harness.
   
   
2. Inspection: Perform regular visual inspections of the fall harness to check for signs of wear, damage or defects. Thoroughly inspect all seams, straps, buckles and fastening points. If you notice any damage, replace the harness immediately.
   
   
3. Drying: Let the fall harness dry naturally, preferably in a well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not hang the harness to dry as this may affect the shape and integrity of the straps.
   
   
4. Storage: Store the fall harness in a dry and clean place, away from direct sunlight, chemicals or sharp objects that may cause damage. Store the harness in a way that does not compress or deform it to maintain its shape and functionality.
   
   
5. Periodic inspection: Have the fall harness periodically inspected and inspected by a qualified professional. This should be done according to the manufacturer's guidelines and applicable safety regulations. An expert can detect any hidden defects or wear and tear that may not be visible during a visual inspection.
   
   
6. Replacement: Keep an eye on the lifespan of the fall harness. Fall harnesses have a limited lifespan and should be replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations or applicable standards. This may vary depending on use, exposure to environmental factors and general wear of the harness.

It is important to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations regarding the maintenance and inspection of a fall harness. A properly maintained fall harness ensures optimum safety and reliability during use.
