Friday!

It is time to get out there! For those of you who work hard all week, you are probably looking forward to relax outdoors. Hopefully you have all your gear ready. Remember to inspect your equipment EVERY TIME. Your life depends on it. Inspection Sheets are a great way to keep track of your gear. Get on the habit of filling it out every time you or someone else uses the equipment. Discard of any worn or damaged equipment and make sure no one else gets to use it as well.

Electronic record keeping is an excellent (and time saving) approach. Check out the iSafe System from DBI/SALA. It uses a pre-installed retrofit tag on your gear and using an external reader (sort of an scanner) you can type your entire inspection into the hand-held device and download the inspection sheet to your computer. Keeping track of several pieces of equipment has never been easier. Purchase additional tags and install them yourself to other pieces of equipment like harnesses, helmets, lanyards, chairs, etc.
