The Importance of Harness Inspection & Certification

Fall protection systems are a last line of defense in high-risk environments. Harnesses, lanyards, and lifelines must be inspected annually, and frequently before each use, in accordance with CSA Z259, ANSI Z359, and provincial OH&S regulations.

At Hercules Crane and Lifting Supplies, our certified inspectors evaluate all components of your fall protection system—including stitching, hardware, tags, and structural integrity. Services are available across Canada, either at our service locations or via our Mobile Testing Units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about fall protection harness inspection and certification.

To maintain safety and compliance, fall protection harnesses must be inspected at three key intervals:

  • Before each use: A visual check by the user to identify obvious damage or wear.
  • Annually: A formal, documented inspection by a competent person as part of your scheduled Fall Protection Harness Service.
  • After any fall event or suspected damage: Immediate removal from service followed by a professional inspection and re-certification if applicable.

During a Fall Protection Harness Service, technicians evaluate:

  • Webbing for cuts, frays, UV damage, burns, or chemical exposure
  • Stitching integrity and signs of deterioration or discoloration
  • D-rings and buckles for signs of cracking, corrosion, or distortion
  • Label visibility, serial number legibility, and manufacturer data
  • Proper function of quick-connect buckles, adjusters, and other components

All Fall Protection Harness Services follow applicable standards:

  • CSA Z259 (Canada)
  • ANSI Z359 (USA)
  • Provincial OH&S Regulations
  • Manufacturer-specific guidelines for usage, service life, and re-certification
