ESCRIPTION
:
The Sentry FLW is a personal fall protection device with 10 ft. of 1” wide polyester
or Technora aramid webbing, on a spring-wound drum with a centrifugal braking
system in a weather-sealed cast aluminum housing. The device allows maximum
freedom of movement and stops a worker within 2 feet if a fall occurs.
Gemtor Sentry Self-Retracting Lanyards are part of a complete fall protection
system which should consist of:
1)
An anchorage point meeting OSHA requirements for retracting lanyards.
Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment
shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or
suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds
(22,2 kN) per employee attached [OSHA 1926.502(d)(15)]
2)
A locking type connector to mount the Sentry device to the anchorage point.
3)
A Sentry FLW Self-Retracting Lanyard.
4)
A full-body harness with attachment point located in the center of the back at
shoulder level. A front attachment point may also be used when ascending
or descending a vertical fixed ladder.
