PRE-USE INSPECTION
These checks are essential and should be carried out each time, before the lanyard
is used.
Pre-use checks should be tactile and visual. The whole lanyard should be subject
to the check, by passing it slowly through the hands (eg to detect small cuts of
1 mm in the edges, softening or hardening of fibres, ingress of contaminants).
A visual check should be undertaken in good light and will normally take a few
minutes.
