QUESTION:  Is there a requirement in law to change safety harnesses and shock absorbing lanyards every year? ANSWER: The law gives no arbitrary time limits for changing such equipment. However, the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 1992 (as amended) require employers to maintain fall arrest equipment in good repair, including appropriate replacement. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require that equipment which is exposed to conditions causing deterioration which is liable to result in dangerous situations should be inspected at suitable intervals, and each time that exceptional circumstances, which are liable to jeopardise the safety of the work equipment, have occurred. As a general guide, HSE advice is that anchorages for fall arrest should be inspected at least every 12 months and energy absorbing lanyards at least every 6 months or, if used in arduous environments, every 3 months.
