Prior to Use Inspection
Fall arrest systems must be inspected prior to each use.
Replace if there are any signs of wear or damage to any of the
components.
Prior to use inspection should include a visual inspection of
the following items:
Cable: Proper tension, broken strands, corrosion.
Fittings: Loose fittings and fractures, damage to
hanger
Transfastener: Damage, free and proper sliding
Attaching Hardware: Loose, missing, properly
tightened
Inspecting Cable Tension and Slip Indicator
Cable tension is adjusted by using the Line Tenser. The Line
Tenser is the disc at the end of the cable (shown below).
When proper tension is achieved, the disc will spin by hand.
When less than proper tension is present the disc will not
turn by hand. The cable will stretch normally over time. In
order to tension the cable the turnbuckle can be tightened.
Rotate the turnbuckle until the proper tension is achieved.
