If you’re looking for the right way to store fall protection equipment, you’re already on the right track. Most workers focus on using the gear, but forget that storage is what actually destroys harnesses, lanyards, SRLs, and anchors long before a fall ever happens. I’ve seen enough jobsites to know: fall protection usually fails because

Here’s what mostpeople ask: What Does Fall Protection PPE Include?

Let me be honest with you right from the start:Most workers—heck, even some supervisors—think inspecting fall protection equipment is as simple as giving it a quick look, tugging on a strap, spinning a buckle, and calling it good.
