MAINTENANCE

Both personal protective equipment against falls from a height (PPE) and fall arrest systems must be thoroughly inspected at least once a year to ensure safety in the workplace.

Why are inspections so important?

The annual inspection of your PPE and fall protection systems is not only required by law (see DGUV 112-198), but also serves above all to protect the life and health of your employees. Our experts carefully check whether your equipment and systems are in perfect condition and fulfil the safety standards prescribed by the employers' liability insurance association. In doing so, we follow the principles of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV principle 312-906) and the manufacturer's instructions.

Our inspection include:

Internal audits:

• Harnesses, fall arresters, ropes
• Snap hooks, slinging, anchor ropes
• Fall arrest systems
• Descenders and rescue devices
• ActSafe rope winches / power ascender
• Tripods
• Fall arresters
• Fall arresters
• Hoists (according to UVV)

External audits:

• PSAgA
• Anchor points
• Vertical ropes and rail systems
• Horizontal ropes and rail systems
• Guardrails

At SKYLOTEC, your safety and the safety of your employees are our top priority.
