WARNING
• Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a fall arrest event.
Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an individuals ability to withstand fall
arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals considered minors must not use any Safewaze
equipment.
• Never alter any part of a lanyard or add/remove components. Safewaze shall not be held responsible
for injury or death due to tampering.
• Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed from service and
destroyed.
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or death in the event
of a fall.
• A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be specific to
the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or to be promptly rescued
by alternative means.
• Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any Safewaze anchor must be compatible in size and
configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks, carabiners and other connectors. Any
connection which could allow disengagement must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be
self locking and self closing and must never be hooked to each other.
• Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least every 6 months by
a Competent Person. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of conditions during use may
necessitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the 021-4042 Wood Truss Anchor for deficiencies or damage, including,
but not limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure,
extreme heat exposure, torn or damaged Flexible Membrane, or missing or illegible labels. If any defi
-
ciencies or defects are found, the 021-4042 must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The 021-4042 Wood Truss Anchor must be inspected at least every 6 months by a Competent Person
other than the user. Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log included in
this manual and on the inspection grid label on the 021-4042.

WOOD TRUSS
•
Only install in a Wood Truss with a nominal thickness of 2” (1.5” actual) and a nominal height of
4” (3.5” actual) or greater.
•
The anchorage (Wood Truss) to which the anchor is attached must be capable of supporting
1,800 lbf (8kN), or be designed, installed, and used under supervision of a qualified person, and
as part of a complete fall protection system, that maintains a safety factor of at least two.
•
The Wood Truss and all other structural components supporting it must be free of voids, decay,
rot, and any other condition that could reduce the anchorage strength below the requirements as
previously stated. Other factors that may significantly reduce or affect the lumber strength include
but are not limited to: species of wood, grade of wood, splits, knots, cracks, grain qualities,
moisture content, pest infestation, and temperature.
•
A qualified person must determine if a specific installation location meets all Anchorage
Requirements.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 4
Step 3
Choose a location in Wood Truss for installation.
A qualified person must determine if a specific
installation location will meet all of the Anchorage
Requirements.
Connect Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) to
the attachment point of the anchor (steel O-ring).
PFAS must limit fall arrest forces to 900 lbf (4kN)
or less.
Place the Anchorage Connector on the Wood
Truss and align. The rivet should be flush with
the Wood Truss. Alignment of the edge should be
perpendicular to the Wood Truss.
Fasten to the Wood Truss with all (10) Wood
Screws (included). Note: To decrease the
possibility of splitting, pre-drill Pilot Holes
(7/64” Ø for soft woods or 1/8” Ø for hard
woods) are recommended. If splitting occurs the
anchorage connector must be moved to a new
approved location.
• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate where workers will be
conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their work, and the existing and potential fall
hazards they may be exposed to. The Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment
to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or hoist tools or
equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
