PPE Inspection
Inspection procedure
• In addition to routine checks for each use, PPE should regularly undergo a detailed inspection by a competent
person. Petzl recommends an inspection every 12 months and after any exceptional event in the life of the product.
• PPE inspection should be conducted with the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use.
Download the instructions at PETZL.COM.
