Add your first harness/lanyard to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.
Field notes from maintenance practice
Fall protection inspection is serial-number bookkeeping: each harness, lanyard and SRL is an individual asset with its own history, because exposure differs (the harness that lives in a gang box vs the one worn daily in welding spatter). Energy-absorber condition is the heart of it — a deployed or partially deployed absorber, or any equipment that has arrested a fall, is done regardless of appearance.
SRLs add a factory-service line: many self-retracting lifelines require periodic manufacturer recertification — check each unit's manual and give it its own register interval. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Fall Arrest Equipment Inspection Scheduler
This scheduler keeps a living register of your harness/lanyards: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. ANSI Z359 and manufacturer instructions require user pre-use checks plus formal inspections by a competent person at least annually — most programs run semi-annual for gear in regular use, with every inspection documented per serial number.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a harness/lanyard be serviced or inspected?+
ANSI Z359 and manufacturer instructions require user pre-use checks plus formal inspections by a competent person at least annually — most programs run semi-annual for gear in regular use, with every inspection documented per serial number. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.
How long do harnesses last if they pass inspection — is there a shelf life?+
Most manufacturers no longer state a fixed expiry (the old '5 years' folklore), deferring to inspection condition — but they do define service-start documentation and some cap webbing life at ~10 years from manufacture. UV, chemicals and abrasion set the real life: a roofer's harness may fail inspection in 2 years; a rescue kit sealed indoors may pass at 10. What never extends: anything that arrested a fall, showed deployed absorber indicators, or has illegible labels — those retire immediately.
How strict should I be about hitting the due date exactly?+
Treat the due date as the end of a window, not a cliff: industry practice allows roughly ±10% of the interval for planning convenience. What kills harness/lanyards is systematic slippage — each service a few weeks late quietly stretches the real interval far beyond the standard one. The overdue badge exists to make that visible.
How do I handle assets that fail between services?+
Repair work doesn't replace the scheduled service unless it covered the same scope — a breakdown fix usually addresses one fault, while the PM covers the checklist. After a major repair that does cover the scope, tick the harness/lanyard as serviced; after a spot fix, leave the schedule untouched.
