Safety equipment required for the use of the HERCULES Mobile Anchoring System
: Depending on
the mode chosen, each user must use the following equipment:
Travel restraint mode
:
Two methods of travel restraint can be used
1) Connecting an adequately anchored lifeline directly to the D-ring of the
worker’s full body harness. It is critical that the length of the lifeline,
measured from the anchor point, is short enough to restrain the worker from
any fall hazard.
2) Attaching a lanyard from the D-ring of the worker’s full body harness to
a rope grab on a lifeline. There must be some means, such as a knot in the
lifeline, to prevent the rope grab from sliding along the lifeline to a point
where the worker is no longer restrained from falling.
It is recommended to keep the worker at least 1 foot back from the fall hazard
(See figure 2)
