An inspector in Phoenix told me my torque wrench calibration was off by 12 foot-pounds

I was sure my gear was fine, but he showed me the sticker from a year ago. Now I check my tools every Monday before shift. Anyone else have a simple check they added after a close call?

How often do you check your gear? That sticker thing is a real wake up call. I started doing a quick visual on all my safety gear after a similar scare.

Saw my buddy's harness fail because he missed a frayed strap.

Scary how that happens with car seatbelts and bike helmets too. Easy to miss the small stuff until it's too late.
