361 compliant full body harness and lifeline cables and ropes for any user of
the
XTIRPA
System, with appropriate specifications designed and recommended for use in specialized
work conditions such as those for which the

System is intended to be used as per this instruc-
tion and safety manual. For the installation of lifeline cables and ropes on the certified 12kn anchor
points of the davit arm, see section 6 paragraphs 3 through 5.
