Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 140

S Martin – 21 May 2009

Pre-use PPE checks

Please see below self explanatory Safety Alert that shows why it is so important to check
all PPE and lifting equipment before using it. Although we do not use this exact
anchorage connector, similar crimped connectors are very common, and it would be
easy for a similar incident to happen where a new component is just assumed to be in
good condition.

This 6’ anchorage connector for fall protection was found by an employee during his
pre-use PPE inspection.
