In order for you to be able to carry out your work in a safe manner, your equipment needs to be inspected and approved for the stresses to which the fall protection may be exposed.
Inspection of fall protection
Fall protection equipment must be inspected and documented annually by a competent person in accordance with EN365:2004 and AFS2001:03. A competent person has been trained and holds a certificate and competence to inspect fall protection equipment. By law, the employer is obliged to annually inspect personal fall protection equipment in accordance with the EN365:2004 standard, inspection must be carried out by a so-called "competent person".
The Swedish Work Environment Authority regularly inspects companies to ensure that this is complied with. If the requirements are not met, the company risks high penalty fees. The penalty fees vary depending on the size of the company and can amount to SEK 400,000.
