Safety harnesses and lanyards are to be inspected prior to use and on a quarterly basis. Quarterly inspection of harnesses will be identified by color coded bands. Quarterly identification colors are as noted below.

Note: If jobsite color requirements are different, FER shall follow the jobsite quarterly color.

Any safety items that are found to be worn or defective, and thus unsafe for use, are to be repaired immediately or discarded. Such equipment should not be used unless repaired or replaced. All personnel are required to wear and use the proper safety items and equipment for each job to be performed. If the proper safety items are not available, the employee should not begin the task until the proper equipment is made available.
