Harness & Lanyard Inspection Ireland — Fall Arrest Equipment Certification
Why Choose Procheck?
Harness Inspection — Snap Hooks, Buckles and Hardware
The metal components of a harness; snap hooks, carabiners, buckles and D-rings, are just as critical as the webbing. Procheck checks every connector for corrosion, deformation, and locking mechanism function during each inspection.
A single faulty snap hook can cause a fall arrest system to fail completely. Our thorough inspection process ensures every component is safe before your workers go back to height.
Yes. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 require employers to keep all PPE — including harnesses and lanyards — in good condition and regularly inspected by a competent person. Therefore, any business where workers use fall arrest equipment needs to arrange regular inspections. Read the full legal breakdown here.
Most harnesses and lanyards need a formal inspection at least every six months. However, equipment used frequently or in harsh environments may need more regular checks. Procheck can advise on the right schedule for your specific equipment. Find out more about inspection frequency.
A GA3 certificate confirms that a harness or lanyard passes independent inspection and meets recognised Irish safety standards. Furthermore, holding a valid GA3 certificate demonstrates compliance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act. Procheck issues GA3 certificates as part of every harness and lanyard inspection.
