Inspections should be recorded in a centralized logbook that includes the serial number, date of purchase, dates of
inspection, service work performed and authorized signatures. Werner does not specify a pre-determined shelf life for
fall protection products. Product life expectancy will be determined by routine inspection, conducted before each use by
the user and conducted at least semi-annually by a competent person per OSHA requirements. This process can begin
with the date of rst use of the product when it goes into service.
