Prior to EACH use, inspect SkyMast Skyhook for deficiencies, including, but not limited to, corrosion,
deformation, pits, burrs, rough surfaces, sharp edges, cracking, rust, paint buildup, excessive heating,
alteration, and missing or illegible labels. IMMEDIATELY remove SkyMast Skyhook 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 hazardous materials. Ensure that selected work area will support the application-
specific minimum loads set forth in this instruction manual. Work area MUST be stable.
At least every 6 months, a Competent Person other than the user must inspect SkyMast Skyhooks.
Competent Person inspections MUST be recorded in inspection log in instruction manual and on
equipment inspection grid label. The Competent Person must sign their initials in the box
corresponding to the month and year the inspection took place.
During inspection, consider all applications and hazards SkyMast Skyhooks have been subjected to.
