First loler Monday

As above, anything I should bear in mind for this. Don't want kit to fail for stupid reasons?!

Or is it as straightforward as it seems?

Thanks

Tip the sawdust out of your kitbag.

[Land Skills Training]

Break down kit (untie knots etc ) ready for inspection

Make sure karabiners are lubricated properly and make sure everything has an ID or serial No.

 

And tip sawdust out of kit bag!

There is no great mystery to it.

 

Your kit will pass or fail on condition and or age.

 

LOLER expects you to perform pre use checks so there ought to be no real surprises.

 

Make sure any mechanisms are clean and function as they should, its easy for just a bit of crud to stop a biner working properly. I flush them out with WD40 or similar, dry then and lube with graphite powder.

 

Make sure your ID's are legible, you can re label stuff as needed but remember to keep track of its date into service, particularly for fabrics.

 

Don't bother tipping the sawdust out, its not subject to LOLER :laugh1:

Easy. Can clean stuff over the weekend...

Bit like a mot, don't want to fail cos I missed something obvious...

Thanks

Make sure you send in all the records in of first use it makes the job easier, an easier job is a happy examiner which is a good thing, I've sent kits back untested for no paperwork and no I'd markings!
