WARNING!
User Requirements
l
Users of Personal Fall Limiters (PFLs) shall be medically fit and suitably trained.
l
PFLs shall not be used by pregnant women, minors or those under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
l
For single user only, within the weight range 130–310 lbs (60–141 kg) for ANSI, 100–400 lbs (45–181 kg) for OSHA
overhead applications, or 100–310 lbs (45–141 kg) for CSA, including user, clothing, and tools.
Anchor Requirements/Swing Fall/Fall Clearance
l
The anchorage must be capable of supporting the required load. See Section
for details on
anchorage strength.
l
Ensure that the available fall clearance is equal to or greater than the fall clearance shown in Section
.
l
Remove any surface contamination such as, but not limited to, concrete, stucco, roofing material, etc. that could
accelerate cutting or abrading of attached components.
l
For use in accordance with acceptable locations as shown in Section
. The user shall consider any
risks posed by swing falls.
l
Swing falls can increase fall distance. In overhead applications, work directly under the anchorage. In horizontal
(leading edge) applications, minimize the horizontal offset. Increasing the horizontal offset will increase the amount of
swing fall. Always remove obstructions in or adjacent to the fall path. Keep work area free from debris, obstructions,
trip hazards, spills, or other hazards which could impair the safe operation of the fall protection system. For horizontal
(leading edge) applications DO NOT use the device unless a qualified person has inspected the workplace and
determined that the identified swing fall hazards have been eliminated or exposures to them prevented.
