Labels

Harnesses and connectors selected must be compliant with manufacturer’s instructions, and must be of
compatible size and configuration. Snap hooks, carabiners, and other connectors must be selected and applied
in a compatible fashion. All risk of disengagement must be eliminated. All snap hooks and carabiners must be
self-locking and self-closing, and must never be connected to each other.

A pre-planned rescue procedure in the case of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be project-specific. The
rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or provide an alternative means for their prompt
rescue. Store rescue equipment in an easily accessible and clearly marked area.

Training of Authorized Persons to correctly erect, disassemble, inspect, maintain, store, and use equipment
must be provided by a Competent Person. Training must include the ability to recognize fall hazards, minimize
the likelihood of fall hazards, and the correct use of personal fall arrest systems.

NEVER use fall protection equipment of any kind to hang, lift, support, or hoist tools or equipment, unless
explicitly certified for such use.

Equipment subjected to forces of fall arrest must immediately be removed from use.

Age, fitness, and health conditions can seriously affect the worker should a fall occur. Consult a doctor if there
is any reason to doubt a user’s ability to withstand and safely absorb fall arrest forces or perform set-up of
equipment. Pregnant women and minors must not use this equipment.

Physical harm may still occur even if fall safety equipment functions correctly. Sustained post-fall suspension
may result in serious injury or death. Use trauma relief straps to reduce the effects of suspension trauma.

OSHA 1926 Subpart M
and OSHA 1910
