At West Coast Equipment & Safety Supply, we provide professional fall protection inspection services to help businesses maintain safe working environments and meet OSHA compliance requirements. Serving Orange County, San Diego County, and Los Angeles County, we inspect fall protection equipment to ensure it performs correctly when workers need it most.
Falls remain one of the leading causes of serious workplace injuries and fatalities. Regular inspection of fall protection systems is not just a regulatory requirement-it’s a critical safety measure.
Fall protection inspection is the systematic examination of safety equipment designed to prevent or arrest falls from height. Over time, fall protection equipment can degrade due to wear, environmental exposure, improper use, or storage conditions.
A proper inspection ensures that all components are:
Structurally sound
Free from damage or excessive wear
Functioning as intended
Compliant with OSHA and manufacturer standards
Routine inspections help identify hazards before an accident occurs, reducing liability and protecting workers.
We inspect a wide range of fall protection systems and components, including:
Full-body harnesses
Shock-absorbing and self-retracting lanyards (SRLs)
Lifelines (vertical & horizontal)
Anchorage connectors
Carabiners, hooks, and connectors
Fall arrest systems
Restraint and positioning systems
Each item is evaluated according to OSHA regulations and manufacturer guidelines.
We follow a detailed, industry-accepted inspection process to ensure accuracy and compliance.
We inspect for:
Fraying, cuts, burns, or abrasion
Corrosion, deformation, or cracks
Missing or damaged labels
Signs of impact loading
Moving components are checked for smooth operation and secure locking mechanisms.
We verify that equipment meets applicable:
OSHA fall protection requirements
ANSI standards
Manufacturer specifications
You receive proper inspection records that support compliance and internal safety audits.
Regular inspections help you:
Meet OSHA fall protection inspection requirements
Reduce workplace injuries and fatalities
Identify unsafe equipment before failure
Extend the life of safety equipment
Avoid fines, citations, and job shutdowns

Fall protection equipment should never be used if its condition is uncertain.
According to OSHA and manufacturers:
Before each use: Visual check by the user
Periodic inspection: By a competent person
After a fall event: Immediate inspection and removal from service

Yes. OSHA requires fall protection equipment to be inspected regularly and maintained in safe working condition.
Inspections must be conducted by a competent person familiar with OSHA standards and manufacturer guidelines.
All fall protection components must be inspected, including harnesses, lanyards, lifelines, connectors, anchorage points, and self-retracting lifelines (SRLs).
Inspection records should be retained for the life of the equipment or as required by OSHA and company safety policies to support audits and compliance reviews.
