Structural Components
-
Inspect the condition of the foundation, structural integrity and any visible damage.
-
Evaluate the stability and condition of the walls, ensuring they're level and straight.
-
Examine roof structure, trusses and sheathing for water intrusion or damage signs.
-
Check the floor condition and support, notably for signs of unusual sagging or deflection.
-
Verify the condition of attic structural components including rafters, joists, collar ties, and ridge boards;
Harness Integrity
-
Professionally inspect the harness for any visible damage, charring, or signs of wear and tear.
-
Confirm the harness is not damaged or worn, specifically on the load-bearing parts.
-
Ensure the harness is serviceable, checking for broken stitches or burnt or cut fibres.
-
Check for damage to metallic parts, including corrosion or deformation.
-
Inspect the harness and equipment for compatibility.
Webbing and Straps
-
Inspect each strap on the harness for any cuts, frays, or wear.
-
Check all webbing for evidence of heat or chemical damage.
-
Ensure that the stitching securing strap ends are intact and have not become loose.
-
Look for evidence of dirt or grit in the webbing fibres as it can shorten product lifespan.
-
Make sure all strap-length adjusters are functioning properly and securely.
Buckles and Connectors
-
Check buckles and connectors for signs of deformation, corrosion or damage.
-
Ensure all fastenings and backstops are secure and functioning properly.
-
Examine carabiner gates for evidence of distortion and check for the smooth operation of the locking mechanism.
-
Verify that all buckles are securely attached and free from sharp edges or burrs.
-
Ensure all connectors are compatible with the elements to which they are attached.
Stitching and Rivets
-
Inspect all stitching for signs of loose or pulled threads, cuts, or abrasion damage.
-
Ensure all rivets are intact, firmly attached, and show no signs of deformation.
-
Evaluate for any evidence of bad stitching patterns or colour variations which may indicate an issue.
-
Check that there's no evidence of stitching distortion caused by excessive force or misuse.
-
Confirm whether the stitch is keeping its shape as per its original specifications.
