If the red warning core of the WPFR straps is visible, what action should be taken?

When the red warning core of the WPFR (Work Positioning Fall Restraint) straps is visible, it indicates that the strap has potentially been compromised and may no longer provide adequate safety or support. The visibility of the red warning core serves as a crucial safety sign, suggesting that the strap has experienced wear, deterioration, or damage that could lead to failure under load.

Taking the strap out of service is essential for maintaining safety standards and protecting individuals from potential accidents or injuries. Continuing to use a compromised strap, adjusting it tightly, or waiting for inspection does not address the immediate risk that comes from using an item that is no longer reliable. Ensuring that all safety equipment is in optimal condition is a fundamental aspect of workplace safety protocols, which is why removing any faulty equipment from use is the appropriate and responsible action.
