Have you got all your detailed equipment inspection documentation?

It is recommended that a detailed inspection of rope access equipment is recorded. The detailed inspection and information recorded should take into account manufacturers’ recommendations and the work environment.

The documentation should be kept for at least two years, or longer if required by local legislation.
