PPE Inspection
Inspection procedure
• In addition to routine checks for each use, PPE should regularly undergo a detailed inspection by a competent
person. Petzl recommends an inspection every 12 months and after any exceptional event in the life of the product.
• PPE inspection should be conducted with the manufacturer's Instructions for Use.
Download the instructions at PETZL.COM.
1. Known product history
Any PPE showing unexpected degradation should be quarantined, pending a detailed inspection.
The user should:
- Provide precise information on the usage conditions.
- Report any exceptional event regarding his PPE.
(Examples: fall or fall arrest, use or storage at extreme temperatures, modification outside manufacturer's
facilities...).
