Harness Inspection

A fall, even from a low height, can be fatal. Half of all deadly falls occur from heights under 8 meters. Even more alarming: 50% of fatal falls happen within the first six months on the job, and one in five occurs in small businesses with fewer than 12 employees.

Given these figures, training in the inspection of personal fall arrest systems (PFAS), including harnesses and SRLs, is essential. That’s exactly what our AR simulator offers: an immersive, practical, and accessible training solution.

An Immersive Augmented Reality (AR) Simulator

Using their smartphone camera, trainees can visualize life-sized harnesses and self-retracting lifelines, photorealistically rendered in 3D and displayed directly in their real environment (office, workshop, or home).

They can:

• Move freely around the equipment
• Zoom in on critical details
• Inspect every element just like on a real job site
• Train safely, with a level of realism never before possible

The simulated defects are based on real-life wear and damage cases, validated by fall protection safety experts.

Learning Objectives

• Identify signs of wear or non-compliance on harnesses and SRLs
• Apply manufacturer and industry-recommended inspection methods
• Develop safe habits before working at height
• Justify equipment acceptance or rejection decisions

Each inspection is followed by a multiple-choice quiz to reinforce understanding and validate learning outcomes.

Who Is This Training For?

This course is designed for anyone working at height who is required to use fall protection equipment.
It is especially recommended for high-risk industries such as:

• Construction
• Industrial maintenance
• Energy
• Public utilities

Included Training Scenarios

1. Inspection of 5 Safety Harnesses

Trainees must perform a full 360° inspection of several harnesses to detect 17 major defects, such as:
fall indicator deployed, deformed D-ring, broken stitching, unreadable label, abrasions, and more.

Goal: Learn to spot hidden hazards invisible to the untrained eye.

2. Inspection of 4 Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs)

Trainees inspect multiple SRL devices through a complete step-by-step inspection process:

• Visual check of the housing
• Auditory and visual inspection of the lifeline deployment
• Detailed check of the line’s core, sheath, connectors
• Brake test without damaging the device

There are 10 potential defects hidden in this scenario, including: birdcaging, broken wires, protruding strands, cable deformation, etc.

A subtle sound clue during deployment helps attentive learners detect otherwise invisible issues.

Why Choose This Training?

• Hyper-realistic experience, accessible directly via smartphone
• Real-world training without danger or complex logistics
• Scenarios validated by safety professionals
• A modern, engaging tool for effective team training
• Ideal for workplace safety programs and ongoing upskilling
