Use this equipment as a part of a complete fall
protection system. Inspect and maintain regularly.
You must read and fully understand or have the

Warning:
All Surewerx equipment should be used as
part of a complete Surewerx fall protection or
emergency rescue system. If the buyer or user
chooses to disregard this warning, he is solely
responsible for the safety of the entire system and all
users.
Before replacing or adding components to a fall
protection or emergency escape system, consult the
original manufacturer. Federal OSHA states that any
unauthorized substitution or change to a system by
the buyer should be fully evaluated or tested by a
qualified person before the new system is put into use
(see OSHA 1926 Subpart M).
All potential users of this equipment and user’s
management must read and understand all
instructions fully; failure to do so could result in
serious or fatal injury.
No fall arrest system can guarantee that you will not
sustain injuries if a fall occurs. The most you can
expect is that injuries will be substantially reduced.
Improper use of this equipment will vastly increase
your chances of serious injury or death because
misuse builds false security. To achieve the
maximum level of safety that this equipment is
capable of providing, all instructions must be followed
diligently. This means careful planning of your
application and work method.
Complete System Components
A complete fall protection system consists of the following components that are arranged to fit the specific work task
and control the elevated fall hazard(s):
•
Anchorage - An anchorage is a secure means of attachment to which the personal fall arrest system is
connected.
•
Body Support - A body support is the component of a personal fall protection system that is worn on or
around the body. Full body harnesses must be used for all fall arrest systems.
•
Connecting Means - A connecting means is the link between the body support and anchorage. It can
be a shock-absorbing lanyard, rope grab, self-retracting lanyard or retrieval system. Connecting means
will vary depending on the application.
The user must also have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it in the event of a fall.
Note: For continuous protection, more than one system may be needed.
WARNING!
No other applications or methods of use are allowed without prior written approval. Failure to comply with
these guidelines may result in serious injury or death
