Loler inspection on new safety lanyard

[Jonnyboy]

Hi guys,

I just took delivery of a honeywell lanyard that I purchased from Arco.

I just want something cleared up.

The date of manufacturer is 8 months ago. Does this mean I need to get a loler test/inspection done on it as its over 6 months old?

For me I always have new equipment (including lanyards/harnesses inspected, prior to first use before adding to the register and issuing to site.

This is just 'my experience' and others may in fact tell me I have been doing it wrong all of these years

to be fair that's probably a smart way of doing it

A standard approach I regularly use is to apply your business approach to the item from the date it becomes new to you. I assume you have a Certificate of Conformity with the item? So if you were to receive the item new in it's packaging today then apply a 6 month inspection requirement on it and go form there. This and every item is still subject to a visual check before use and any concerns lead to the quarantine of that item.

That's my take on it!
