LIMITATIONS
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below
the work surface to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 1m safety factor, deceleration
distance, user height, length of lanyard, harness stretch, free
fall, swing fall, and all other applicable factors. A Competent
Person must check all components of PFAS to calculate fall
clearance required.
See Diagram A page 8.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, eliminate or
minimise 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. Swing fall must
be included in fall clearance calculations.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!
Failure to understand and comply
with safety regulations may result in serious
injury or death. Regulations included herein are
not all-inclusive, are for reference only, and are
not intended to replace a Competent Person’s
judgment or knowledge of federal or state
standards.
CAUTION!
Understand the definitions of those
who work near, or who may be exposed to, fall
hazards.
WARNING!
Use of equipment in unintended
applications may result in serious injury or death.
Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
Do not alter or misuse equipment.
Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, corrosive
chemicals, electrical shock, sharp objects or edges,
machinery, flame/high heat, abrasive or uneven surfaces,
UV exposure, and severe or prolonged weather conditions,
must be assessed by a Competent Person (CP) before fall
protection equipment is selected. The presence of any/all
of these conditions may have negative effects on product
performance or service lifetime.
The analysis of the workplace must anticipate where workers
will be performing their duties, the routes they will take to
reach their work, and the potential and existing fall hazards
they may be exposed to. Fall protection equipment must be
chosen by a CP. Selections must account for all potential
hazardous workplace conditions. All fall protection equipment
should be purchased new and in an unused condition.
Fall protection systems must be selected and installed under
the supervision of a CP, and used in a compliant manner.
The system must be designed in a manner compliant with
all federal, state, and safety regulations. Forces applied to
anchors must be calculated by a CP.
