Product Specific Applications
!
WARNING
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
Rebar Chain Assemblies must be used for Work Positioning applications ONLY.
NEVER for use in Fall Arrest or any other fall protection applications.
Work Positioning:
Rebar Chain Assemblies may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work
Positioning systems allow a worker to be supported while in suspension and work freely with both
hands. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least
3,000 lbs. Maximum allowable free fall is 2’. Applicable D-rings: Side, Shoulder.
Rebar hook at center of Rebar Chain Assembly must ONLY be connected to structural rebar.
Rebar Chain Assembly snap hooks must ONLY be connected to applicable harness D-rings.
Guardian Fall Protection recommends that a back-up fall protection system, suitable
for Fall Arrest applications, be used in conjunction with Rebar Chain Assemblies.
Worker capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment): 130-310 lbs.
NEVER use Rebar Chain Assemblies for rigging equipment or as material hoists.

Limitations
Fall Clearance:
There must be sufficient clearance
below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall
before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction.
When calculating fall clearance, account for a
MINIMUM 3’ safety factor, deceleration distance,
user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other
applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls:
Prior to installation or use, make
considerations for eliminating or minimizing
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.
