INSTALLATION
1. To install a
Safewaze Concrete Anchor Strap,
select a suitable location that
will provide proper strength for installation of the strap as an anchorage for Fall
Protection.
2. Upon determining a suitable location for installation of a
Safewaze Concrete
Anchor Strap, the user will will secure the strap to a suitable rebar cage
component
prior to concrete being poured
. Attachment to the rebar component
is performed by simply passing the PFAS attachment end of the strap throught the
loop at the opposite end of the strap and cinching the strap around the rebar.
3. The PFAS end of the Safewaze Concrete Anchor Strap will then be extended
beyond the edge/side of the form to allow for connection after concrete is poured
and has properly cured.
4. After concrete has properly cured, the user can then attach to the end of
the strap that extends beyond the concrete to provide a suitable fall protection
anchorage point.
5. Once construction is complete, or the strap is no longer required, the user can
choose to leave the strap in place for possible future usage, or cut the strap off
flush with the edge of the concrete and discard.

Note:
Though installation in concrete is the intended use, Safewaze Concrete
Anchor Straps can also be used as temporary anchors on alternative structural
members, such as wood framework, steel I-beams, or pipe racking.
For instance, the Concrete Anchor Strap could be installed like a Cross Arm
Strap on the aforementioned alternative structural members. However, use of this
product in a manner in which it is not designed can lead to excessive abrasion,
wear, and possible product failure.
For this reason, this product must be inspected before each use. The use of a
Concrete Anchor Strap on an alternative structural member is permissible provided
the user follows this Safewaze product manual and the following guidelines:
1. A Competent Person has determined the alternative structural member is
capable of withstanding anticipated fall loads and meets, or exceeds, OSHA
required anchorage strength regulations.
2. The chosen alternative structural member does not allow for the Concrete
Anchor Strap to slip off of it, or become unintentionally disengaged in any capacity.
3. The chosen alternative structural member does not have any sharp or abrasive
edges or surfaces.

WARNINGS
• 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 and individuals considered minors must
not use any Safewaze equipment.
•
Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces must be IMMEDIATELY removed from service
and destroyed.
•
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 be
promptly rescued by alternative means.
•
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.
•
Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support, or hoist tools
or equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
MAINTENANCE
• The anchor can be cleaned with water and mild soap if necessary. The user should remove all
dirt, possible corrosives, and contaminants from the anchor prior to, and after, each use. Never
use any type of corrosive substance to clean the anchor.
•
Excess water should be blown out with compressed air. Hardware can be wiped off with a
clean, dry cloth. Do not store anchor if wet or damp. Allow anchor to fully dry before being
stored.
•
Prior to installation, store the anchor in a cool, dry area where it will not be exposed to extreme
light, extreme heat, excessive moisture, or possibly corrosive chemicals or materials.
LABELS
INSPECTION
•
Safewaze Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least annually 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 anchor.
•
Severity of conditions during use of the anchor may necessitate increased frequency of
documented inspections.
•
Prior to each use, inspect the anchor for deficiencies or damage including, but not limited to,
sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme
heat exposure, and damaged, missing, or illegible labels.
•
If any deficiencies or defects are found, the anchor must IMMEDIATELY be removed from
service.
