Inspection Notice

MSA Latchways® Guided Type Fall Arrester
February 2024

PLEASE READ AND TAKE ACTION NOW

Dear Valued MSA Customer

This Inspection notice is to inform you of a one-time inspection procedure regarding the locking pin on MSA Latchways® Guided Type Fall Arresters (GTFAs) that were manufactured between February 16, 2021 and January 30, 2024. Potentially affected models are listed in Table 1 below.

MSA has received a field report of an MSA Latchways GTFA that did not have a locking pin in the nut of the swivel connector between the carabiner and main body of the unit. Without this locking pin in place, there is potential for the connection to come loose during operation.

MSA has not received any reports of injuries associated with this condition. However, we are requesting that you perform the inspection outlined in this notice prior to next use.
