To check a safety harness, inspect the manufacturer label, the hardware, and the software.

Before you step into your harness, you must always inspect it to ensure that it can be relied upon. It is vital that safety harnesses are regularly inspected by a competent person who is fully trained and authorised by the manufacturer.
