Fall Protection Inspection and Certification

Fall Protection – Inspection and Certification

Work at Height Regulations 2005 apply wherever there’s a risk of falling that could lead to injury, or worse. It’s a common misconception that these rules only apply to rooftop work, in fact, they cover a wide range of environments, including low-level and even underground tasks.

If you manage or own a site where these regulations are relevant, you have a legal duty to ensure all fall protection safety equipment is inspected and recertified at least once a year.

Via Trium can provide a thorough inspection and recertification service for both collective and personal protective equipment. Our goal is to help you maintain compliance and ensure your team’s safety, giving you and your team complete peace of mind.

How Do I Know If It’s Time To Get An Inspection?

Do you have loose or degraded anchor points?

Any movement in anchor devices can pose a serious safety hazard and should be addressed immediately to ensure continued protection.

Are your reports out of date or missing?

Without current documentation, your system may fall short of legal compliance and UK safety regulations.

No recent testing or visual inspection?

Skipping inspections or neglecting regular testing can compromise system integrity and allow potential safety risks to go unnoticed.

Are there frayed cables or damaged components?

Visible signs of wear and tear should never be ignored. Fall arrest systems must be inspected promptly to ensure worker safety.

Is your system not designed for your specific work area?

If your access equipment and rail system aren’t properly matched, it could impact the effectiveness of your fall protection setup.

Is there confusion about the fall protection system that’s in use?

Incorrect use of fall restraint or fall arrest equipment, especially without proper testing or adherence to safety protocols, can result in life-threatening injuries.

Are your team using their fall PPE correctly?

Ensure that all users are trained in how to attach and operate fall protection equipment safely and correctly.

Regular inspection and certification of fall protection equipment is essential to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind for everyone working at height.
