What we do

Our inspections are conducted by a competent person—someone qualified and certified to inspect fall protection equipment but not actively using it. This impartiality is a requirement under CSA standards and ensures a thorough, unbiased evaluation.

During the inspection we will:

Examine each piece of equipment for visible damage, wear, or flaws
Check for manufacturer recall notices
Provide detailed written documentation for each item inspected
Tag equipment with inspection status

Note: No maintenance or repairs are performed during the inspection. If your equipment is dirty, additional cleaning fees may apply.

Inspection Frequency

The frequency of inspections depends on the environment in which the equipment is used:

Every 3 months in harsh or high-risk environments.
Every 6 months in moderate conditions
Annually in clean, controlled environments (e.g., training centers)
