Series Man Rated Gut Straps
Man Rated Gut Straps are specifically designed for the
line worker who already has a Linemens
Two ‘D’ Body
Belt. Simply attach the Man Rated Gut Strap to your
existing Linemens
Two ‘D’
Body Belt to convert it into a
Four D-ring Body Belt. Man Rated Gut Straps can be
added to any Linemens Body Belt to give you the Four
D-ring option.
Four D-ring Body Belts are designed to be used with
Wood Pole Fall Restriction Devices (WPFRD) and
various positioning devices, such as a conventional
positioning strap, Adjustable Positioning Lanyard or
retractable lanyard, in order for the user to be
continuously fall protected while performing tasks
such as transitioning over obstructions such as
crossarms.
Ensure you read, understand and follow these instructions as well as those applicable to the WPFRD and
positioning device prior to using this equipment.
Outlined below is
Buckingham’s suggested method for user continuous
connection while transitioning past obstructions using the
Four D-ring Body Belt
,
WPFRD
(BuckSqueeze SuperSqueeze or EZSqueeze) and
Adjustable Position
Lanyard
(BuckAdjuster). A stacked 4 D-ring Body Belt with WPFRD connected to
the lower D-rings is shown in Fig. 1 for reference. The primary / secondary D-ring
set determination is at the discretion of the user or using company's specified
work practice. It is an acceptable practice to stow a secondary lanyard from one
of the secondary D-rings when not in use. Note: both locking connecting devices
of the Adjustable Positioning Lanyard (i.e. BuckAdjuster) must be connected to
the same secondary D-ring during stowage. An alternate method of stowage is the use of a break-a-way
handline hook. The carabiner connector of the APL must remain attached to the secondary D-ring at all times.
The snap hook end of the APL (i.e. BuckAdjuster) may be stored on a breakaway handline hook when not in
use. The use of the breakaway hook allows the snap end to pull free in the event it becomes snagged.
Buckingham’s BuckTender (PN 2404)
WPFRD /
APL (Secondary Lanyard) tail minder can be used to store the
tail end of your WPFRD or APL (Secondary lanyard) keeping the excess material stored out of the way.
If using a retractable lanyard, simply stow the webbing in the retracted position.
