ANNUAL INSPECTION OF FALL PROTECTION AND RESCUE EQUIPMENT
According to European standard EN365:2004, personal fall protection and rescue equipment must be submitted for periodic inspection at least once every 12 months. At Cresto Group, we use the term annual inspection to simply remind you that the inspection should be done every year. If the equipment is subjected to excessive wear or is used in tough environments, it should be inspected more often.
LOCAL AND GLOBAL INSPECTION SERVICE
We have experienced and authorized staff performing annual inspections on personal fall protection and rescue equipment as well as fixed fall protection systems.
If your equipment is not approved during your annual inspection, you can in some cases service and repair your equipment. Then we replace components that are worn such as the rope, instead of having to buy a whole new product. However, keep in mind that it is lifesaving safety products we work with so in some cases, we have to discard the equipment and thereby offer you to buy a new one. But we always try to do as best to minimize the impact on our environment and our customer's budgets.

Each user is responsible for checking their equipment prior to use – the so-called daily inspection - but the annual inspections must be performed by a Competent Person. A Competent person is trained and certified by a manufacturer or an accredited partner. Cresto Safety offers courses to become a Competent Person.
