### Keep Your Team Safe with Professional Fall Protection Inspections

Fall protection equipment is only as reliable as its last inspection. This **Safety Harness and Lanyard Annual Inspection Form** gives construction companies, contractors, safety managers, and trades professionals a thorough, standardised checklist to document the condition of every harness, lanyard, and shock absorber in your inventory.

Built for compliance with OSHA 1926.502 and ANSI Z359 standards, this template walks inspectors through critical checkpoints: webbing integrity, stitching condition, D-ring function, buckle operation, shock absorber deployment history, and manufacturer label legibility. Each piece of equipment gets a clear pass/fail assessment, with space for detailed notes, corrective actions, and photographic evidence.

#### How Paperform helps construction safety teams stay compliant

Paperform transforms this inspection into a mobile-friendly digital workflow. Inspectors can complete checks onsite from a phone or tablet, upload photos of damaged components, and automatically route failed equipment to maintenance or retirement. With conditional logic, the form adapts based on equipment type and condition, showing only relevant questions and reducing inspection time.

Use **calculation fields** to track equipment age and time since last inspection, and set up automatic email notifications to alert safety managers when gear fails or is due for replacement. All submissions are stored securely and timestamped, creating an auditable trail for your safety programme.

Connect this form to your existing tools with [Stepper](https://stepper.io)—automatically log inspections in your asset management system, update maintenance schedules, create work orders for repairs, or flag overdue inspections across your fleet.
