User Instructions

If inspection reveals any defect, inadequate maintenance, 
or unsafe condition, remove from service and destroy.

Any equipment that has been subjected to the forces 
of arresting a fall must be immediately removed from 
service and destroyed.

To inspect webbing, bend a portion of the webbing 6-8" into 
an upsidedown ‘U’ shape.  All webbing must be inspected 
for tears, cuts, fraying, abrasion, discoloration, burns, holes, 
mold, pulled or broken stitches, or other signs of wear and 
damage. 

Sewn terminations should be secure, complete, and not 
visibly damaged.

All Concrete Anchor Straps must be free of corrosion, 
chemical attack, alteration, excessive heating or wear.

All markings must be legible and attached to the product.  

Note: Only manufacturer, or entities authorized in 
writing by the manufacturer, may make repairs to the 
product.

Cleaning and Maintenance

No cleaning or maintenance is required for this product.  If 
inspection reveals any defect, remove from service.

Installation

Concrete Anchor Straps must be installed on structures 
capable of meeting the anchorage strength requirements of 
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.66 and 1926.502.  

Concrete Anchor Straps may be installed in walls, ceilings, 
or fl oors.  Attach the Concrete Anchor Strap to the rebar by 
either sliding the soft loop over the rebar, or chocking the 
soft loop around the rebar.  The orientation of the web exiting 
poured concrete in a vertical application must be such that the 
webbing does not fold over.  It must lay fl at as shown in Fig 
1. The label on the Concrete Anchor Strap must be viewable 
after installation.  The anchoring rebar must be at least 4" 
(100 mm) from the outside face of the poured concrete.  

Concrete Anchor Straps with a protective sleeve must be 
installed such that the protective sleeve partially exits the 
concrete. Where rebar is exposed and not in poured concrete 
the rebar must be #7 or greater with stirrups.  The orientation 
of the rebar is permitted vertically or horizontally.  

Inspection

All Concrete Anchor Straps must be inspected prior to each 
use, and additionally by an OSHA defi ned “competent 
person” other than the user annually.
