5.2

Procedure for Inspection

Perform the following steps in sequence. If in doubt about any inspection point, consult MSA or a 
competent person who is qualified to perform a Formal Inspection as described in section 11.

(1)

Inspect the Workman FP Stryder labels to verify that they are present and legible. See Section 6 
"Markings And Labels" for the specific labels that should be present and the information 
contained thereon. Check the Formal Inspection Log to be sure a Formal Inspection has been 
performed within the last six months. If the Log does not indicate that a Formal Inspection has 
been performed within the last six months, or if any labels are missing or illegible, remove the 
device from use and mark it as “UNUSABLE” until a Formal Inspection is performed by a compe-
tent person.

(2)

Check the auto close action of the button. Depress button with thumb, and ensure auto closing. 
If button fails these functional tests, return to maintain from service.

(3)

Check for structural defects and corrosion. Verify that are no missing, loose screw or altered 
parts; that there are no cracks, deformations, or excessive corrosion.

(4)

Inspect the D-ring for deformation, damage, fractures, cracks, corrosion, deep pitting, burrs, 
sharp edges, cuts, deep nicks, evidence of excessive heat or chemical exposures. Check the 
pin with screw for no deformation, fractures, cracks, corrosion, pitting and nicks. Verify the screw 
in the pin tightly. If the screws which connected with pins are loose, remove the device from use 
and make It “UNUSABLE”. Check the entire assembly for evidence of inadequate maintenance 
of equipment, alteration, excessive wear, or any condition that calls to question the suitability of 
the equipment for its intended purpose.

(5)

Inspect the load indicating D-ring connector for activation. If the device has been exposed to a 
fall arrest force the window will be deformed, remove the device from use and make it “UNUS-
ABLE”.

(6)

Inspect each component and subsystem of the complete system in accordance with the associ-
ated manufacturer’s instructions. See section 3.1 "Planning the Use of Systems" for a descrip-
tion of the makeup of the different types of subsystem and systems.
