Restraint:
Bolt Hole Anchor may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent
workers from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length
of lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces
with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.
Limitations
Fall Clearance:
There must be
sufficient clearance below the
anchorage connector to arrest
a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When
calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 2’ safety
factor, deceleration distance, user
height, length of lanyard/SRL,
harness stretch, and all other
applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example
fall clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls:
Prior to installation
or use, make considerations for
eliminating or minimizing all
swing fall hazards. Swing falls
occur when the anchor is not
directly above the location where
a fall occurs. Always work as
close to in line with the anchor
point as possible. Swing falls
significantly increase the
likelihood of serious injury or
death in the event of a fall.
Rescue/Confined Space:
Bolt Hole Anchor may be used in Rescue/Confined Space applications.
Rescue systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after exposed to a
fall. There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of rescue. Structure
must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. No
free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.
Work Positioning:
Bolt Hole Anchor may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with
both hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side.
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing worker falling
directly in-line with anchor point. Always consider potential swing
fall and other hazards when calculating fall clearance.
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever
possible! If Swing Fall exists,
always account for additional
fall clearance.
