Fall Arrest and Height Safety Equipment Register

A fall arrest and height safety equipment register in Excel, so every safety harness, lanyard, self-retracting lifeline, anchor point, lifeline and rescue kit has a record. Type the manufacturer’s inspection interval and the last inspection and the sheet works out the next due date and marks overdue items in red. Quarantined and retired items stay on the list, and separate logs hold harness inspections, anchor tests and every fall that is arrested. It states that fall arrest is the last choice after fall prevention and work positioning.
