Guardian Fall Protection recommends that a back-up fall protection

system, functional in Fall Arrest applications, be used in conjunction

with all Rebar Chain Assemblies. Competent Person must make final

determination regarding use of back-up fall protection system.

!

WARNING

1. Connect back-up fall protection system, deemed compatible by a Competent Person, to harness dorsal
D-ring. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions for all components of back-up system. Ensure sufficient fall
clearance exists at all work areas, and that all applicable safety regulations are followed at all times.

Quick Link Carabiners must only be used to connect Rebar Chain

Assembly chain links for purposes of adjusting length of chain.

Both Chain Legs must always be adjusted to same length.

NEVER make any connections to Quick Link Carabiners.

!

WARNING

Connect Snap Hooks

to harness shoulder

OR side D-rings.

Rebar Hook fully

closed and

locked around

structural rebar.

3. Connect Rebar Hook to structural rebar; ensure hook fully closes and locks around rebar. If climbing, ensure
that 100% tie-off is maintained at all times.

2. If applicable/necessary, adjust length of Chain Legs by using Quick Link Carabiners to connect chain links.
NEVER cross-connect Chain Legs. Then, connect Rebar Chain Assembly Snap Hooks to harness side D-rings OR
harness shoulder D-rings. Ensure Snap Hooks fully close and lock around D-rings. MAXIMUM 1 connection per
D-ring.
