4.6 SWING FALLS: Swing Falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall occurs (see Figure
8). The force of striking an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury or death. Minimize swing falls by working as directly
below the anchorage point as possible. Do not permit a swing fall if injury could occur. Swing falls will significantly increase the
clearance required when a Self-Retracting Device or other variable length connecting subsystem is used.
4.7 AFTER A FALL: If the product is subjected to fall arrest or impact force, remove the product from service immediately.
Clearly tag the product “DO NOT USE”. See Section 5 for more information.
4.8 HARNESSES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS: Harnesses with Kevlar webbing are designed for use in
high temperature environments, with limitations: Kevlar webbing begins to char at 800°F to 900°F (427°C to 482°C).
Kevlar webbing can withstand limited contact exposure to temperatures up to 1,000°F (538°C). Polyester webbing loses
strength at 300°F to 400°F (149°C to 204°C). PVC coating on hardware has a melting point of approximately 350°F
(177°C). When working with tools, materials, or in high temperature environments, ensure that associated fall protection
equipment can withstand high temperatures, or provide protection for those items.
5.0 INSPECTION
;
After equipment has been removed from service, it may not be returned to service until a Competent Person confirms in
writing that it is acceptable to do so.
5.1 INSPECTION FREQUENCy: The product shall be inspected by the user before and after each use and, additionally, by

marked with the date of next or last inspection.
5.3 DEFECTS: If the product cannot be returned to service because of an existing defect or unsafe condition, or because
it has been subjected to fall arrest or impact force, then the product must be either destroyed or sent to 3M for
replacement.
5.4 PRODUCT LIFE: The functional life of the product is determined by work conditions and maintenance. As long as the
product passes inspection criteria, it may remain in service, for up to 10 years from the date of manufacture.
