This product is part of a complete fall protection system.  A PFAS is typically composed of a Full Body Harness, 

Anchorage, and a Connecting Device.  Connecting Devices used with Safewaze Beam Anchors are Energy  

Absorbing Lanyards (EALs) or a Self Retracting Lifelines (SRLs).  

These instructions must be provided to any person utilizing this equipment.  The worker must read and 

understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this, and all other components of the complete Fall Protection 

System.  It is expected that all personnel be fully trained in the safe installation and use of this equipment.  

These instructions must be followed for the proper use, maintenance, and inspection of this equipment.  These 

instructions must be kept and made available to worker’s at all times.  Any alteration, misuse, or use of this 

equipment outside the scope of the manufacturer’s instructions, may result in serious injury or death.  A 

comprehensive Fall Protection Plan must be kept on file and available to all employees at all times.  

Consult your doctor if there is reason to doubt your fitness to safely absorb the shock from a fall arrest. Age 

and fitness seriously affect a worker’s ability to withstand falls. Pregnant women or minors must not use this 

equipment. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious injury or death.
Never exceed the maximum allowable capacity of your fall protection equipment.  Never exceed the maximum 

free fall distance of your fall protection equipment. 
Do not use this system or any other part of a PFAS that fails pre-use or other scheduled inspections. For any 

questions or concerns regarding the use of this equipment for an application not specified in this manual, 

contact Safewaze technical support.  
Additional precautions should be used when working in environments of high heat, electrical hazards, 

chemical hazards, explosive or combustible chemicals, toxic materials, sharp edges, or where equipment used 

above could topple onto a user below or their fall protection equipment.  

Contact Safewaze if you have questions regarding compatibility of this equipment that are not covered in this 

manual. Do not alter or misuse this equipment. Some subsystem components could affect the performance and 

the operation of this equipment. Do not anchor this product to moving machinery, or hazards that have chemical, 

electrical or gaseous characteristics. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury or death.

Use of a body belt for fall protection applications is not permitted.  Only use an approved Full Body Harness. 

Do not misuse this 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.

Operational temperature for Safewaze anchors: -30°F (-34°C) to 130°F (54°C)

Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST IMMEDIATELY be removed from service and destroyed.

Inspect all components of this system prior to each use and at least annually.  Inspect in accordance with the 

user instructions. If this equipment is exposed to the forces of a Fall Arrest or Impact Force, the equipment must 

be removed from service and inspected by a Competent Person prior to being used again.  

Personnel must always maintain 3 points of contact during climbing operations.  If utilizing components from 

different manufacturers, ensure that all components are compatible and meet all applicable standards, codes, 

and requirements.  Before using this equipment, consult with a Competent and/or Qualified Person. 

Make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all swing fall hazards.  Swing falls occur when the anchor is 

not directly above the location where a fall occurs.  Always work as close to in line with the anchor point as 

possible.  Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or death in the event of a fall. 

Do not throw away these instructions!

Read and understand these instructions before using equipment!
