Steps
Require a documented pre-use inspection of harness, connectors, descent device, and lines before each shift, performed by the user or a competent person
Follow the specific manufacturer's inspection checklist and criteria for each piece of equipment rather than a generic checklist, since retirement criteria are manufacturer- and model-specific
Remove from service immediately any component showing damage, excessive wear, chemical exposure, or any condition the manufacturer identifies as retirement-triggering
Maintain inspection records and equipment service/retirement history for each item
Confirm periodic, more thorough inspections required by the manufacturer or a competent/qualified person are scheduled in addition to daily pre-use checks
Known gotchas
Applying one manufacturer's retirement criteria to another manufacturer's similar-looking component can be wrong - always use the specific manufacturer's documented criteria
A daily pre-use check is not a substitute for the manufacturer's more thorough periodic inspection cycle; both are typically required
