4.0 SYSTEM USE
WARNING: Do not alter or intentionally misuse this equipment. Consult with Capital Safety if using
this equipment in combination with components or subsystems other than those described in this
manual. Some subsystems and components combinations may interfere with the proper operation of this
equipment. Use caution when using this equipment around moving machinery, electrical and chemical
hazards, and sharp edges.
4.1 BODY
SUPPORT: When using this Capital Safety system it is recommended that a full body harness be
worn.
4.2 CONNECTING TO THE SYSTEM: Approach the work area using the appropriate access equipment. Connect
the personal fall arrest system (the free snap hook on the energy absorbing lanyard or carabiner attached to
the SRL) to the tie-off points. Connectors must meet all compatibility and strength requirements.
4.3 IN THE EVENT OF A FALL: The responsible party must have a rescue plan and the ability to implement a
rescue. Tolerable suspension time in a full body harness is limited, so a prompt rescue is critical.
4.4 RESCUE:
With the number of potential scenarios for a worker requiring rescue, an on-site rescue team
is beneficial. The rescue team is given the tools, both in equipment and techniques, so it can perform a
successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuers’ proficiency.
4.5 SYSTEM
REMOVAL:
When no longer required, the system should be removed from the job site.
4.6 NORMAL
OPERATION: If a fall has been arrested, the system must be taken out of service. See Section
6.0.
