wheres the date on my sequoia harness??

[Marc]

the guy said harnesses has a 6 year shelf life, but he says i have to go back in on monday when the ppe guy is in

 

So if its on the shelf for 3 years and you buy it its effectivly only got 3 years life left?

[Stephen Blair]

i would imagine so, just like helmets. bob will know

[Canal Navvy]

Date is relevant as must be under 5 years old

 

This is another timely thread.

 

My climbing kit is used rarely (not too much time for fun) and so lives in light

tight bags.How do L.O.L.E.R. inspectors view kit that would look new other than the manufacture date?

 

In the same vein is the 3 year life on a climbing helmet a hard and fast rule?

Mine spent it's first 10 months in its box before I met it!

 

If i don't get a move on and do CS38 soonish, i could be in the odd position of using borrowed kit that is younger than mine but closer to retirement:blushing:

with helmets its 3 years from the first use, ive been told to write the month and year down on the first use, and then count three years from that. all my kit needs lolering soon. I think myerscough can do it for free

depends on harness,use,first use ect too many variables to generalize

also depends on you or employee and whether you are wanting to run legit and puka
