ISO 45001 Consultation
Complying to ISO 45001, even without certification can be hugely beneficial for the health and safety of your business. It is an internationally recognised standard that states the requirements for a successful occupational health and safety management system. This system should push for overall continual improvement, but especially in areas such as improved communications and consultation around health and safety matters, employee awareness and improved health and safety performance. It should also help businesses better prepare for emergency situations and the response given to them.
Achieving compliance through a risk-based approach to health and safety can prevent injury and ill-health, legal fees and is also likely to win your business work and help you to stay ahead of competitors as it assures clients that you operate with health and safety in mind and in practice.

Important Inspection Points
Webbing
Check for any cuts, fraying, or UV damage.
Metal Components
Ensure there is no corrosion or deformation and that attachment links function well.
Identification Tags
Ensure the legibility of the tag, which should include harness model, date of manufacture, manufactures name, equipment limitations, and warnings. If the tag is missing, not legible or has missing information, the equipment should be immediately taken out of service.
Excessive Dirt
If an excessive amount of dirt, paint or other contaminants are preventing a thorough inspection, take the equipment out of service and do not reinstate unless it can be cleaned to manufacturers specifications. Some contaminants can cause corrosion and will compromise the dependability of the harness.
