deficiencies, including, but not limited to,
corrosion, deformation, pits, burrs, rough
surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint
build-up, excessive heating, alteration,
broken stitching, fraying, and missing or
illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove
VLA from service if defects or damage are
found, or if exposed to forces of fall arrest.
Ensure that applicable work area is free
of all damage, including, but not limited
to, debris, rot, rust, decay, cracking, and

minimum loads set forth in this manual.
Work area MUST be stable.
At least every 12 months, a Competent
Person (CP) other than the user must
inspect VLA.
