General Inspection Procedures

Bef

for signs of wear, deterioration, or evidence of impact loading.

Wire Rope Anchorage Connector Inspection Procedures

1.Inspect the stitching and webbing.

Check stitching for broken, burned, cut, or pulled stitches.
Broken strands appear as tufts on the surface. To inspect,
hold the webbing with your hands six to eight inches apart.
Bend the webbing in an inverted “U” to cause surface tension,
exposing problem areas. Inspect all web areas. Damage from
cuts, abrasion, corrosives, heat, or chemicals should be
apparent.

2. Inspect the D-rings.

Check the D-rings for distortion or cracks. The D-ring on the
end of the nylon webbing should rotate freely in the roller.
Distortion of the roller may indicate impact loading. Check all
D-ring attachment points for unusual wear, distortion, or
damage. Badly pitted D-rings indicate chemical corrosion. If
any of these conditions are found, the equipment should be
destroyed immediately.

D

4. Inspect the wire rope cable.

Inspect entire length of vinyl-coated aircraft cable for cut,
broken, welded, or otherwise damaged cable strands. Nicks,
tears, scrapes in vinyl coating are to be expected and are not
in themselves damaging to the unit. However, further
examine cable beneath that area of vinyl to see if damage
has extended into the cable.Damaged cable requires that the
unit fail inspection. Check cable eyes for excess distortion
which may indicate impact loading.

Destroy and replace all worn, altered, or damaged
OPE equipment.

5.

If evidence of excessive wear, deterioration, alteration,
or mechanical malfunction is observed, the anchorage
connector should be destroyed. Never work with worn or
damaged equipment. Using damaged, altered, or worn
equipment can cause serious injury or death.

The inspector is the most important part of any

inspection procedure.

6.

Check all equipment thoroughly and follow all safety
procedures and guidelines. Do not take any shortcuts.

3. Inspect the snap-hook.

Check that the snap-hook is not distorted or cracked and that
the keepers are free of burrs, functioning properly, clean, and
not bent.

Important Note: OSHA specifies that all employers covered
by the Occupational Safety and Health Act are responsible for
inspection and maintenance of all tools and equipment used
by the employees – whether owned by the employees or by
the company. Personal-protective equipment should be
inspected before each use, and immediately removed from
service if any sign of wear or damage is found.

Should any unusual conditions be
noted during inspection which are not specified
here, do not use the equipment until a competent
person, as defined by OSHA, has determined its
usability.
