worker wearing a body harness may
not exceed 1800 lbs (8 kN).
2.4 MATERIALS (see table 2)
Be certain your equipment is ade-
quate for the work to be done. If in
doubt, ask your supervisor or safety
director.
Nylon rope is the strongest rope
available. It is flexible and will absorb
a greater shock load than any other
rope, thereby removing some of the
force from a falling worker. It has high
abrasion resistance and resists most
acids and organic solvents. It will not
rot.
Polysteel synthetic rope is well suit-
ed for use in fall protection
applications. It resists abrasion and
stretches less than most commonly
used synthetic ropes. It will not harden
with age and reacts favorably to wet con-
ditions. It provides high tensile strength
and is light weight for easier handling.
Polyester rope is not as strong and flexi-
ble as nylon but it has excellent resistance
to abrasion, chemicals and weathering.
Nylon Webbing is a highly
recommended material for most uses. It is
impregnated with resin to improve durabil-
ity as well as abrasion and tear resistance.
Polyester Webbing has the same
benefits as polyester rope. It is impregnat-
ed with resin for greater durability, and
abrasion and chemical resistance.
Monofilament polypropylene rope is the
lightest synthetic rope available. Its long
life, flexibility in cold conditions and resist-
ance to acids and alkalis provide good
characteristics for various uses. Its poten-
tial for high impact loading makes it ideal-
ly suited to fall protection applications.
3 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
3.1 Make certain that you have had prop-
er training for the job to be done and
that you understand your local safety
rules, procedures and regulations. If in
doubt, discuss your concerns with
your supervisor or safety director.
3.2 Wear only the right kind of equipment
for the job to be done. A full body
harness should be worn whenever
a potential fall is present.
3.3 Never modify equipment that does
not fit or suit the job being
performed.
3.4 Equipment must be removed from
service when any questionable signs
of wear or damage are found.
3.5 Back D-rings on belts and harnesses
are to be used only for attaching
lanyards or other devices used for
connecting to an anchorage point.
Never attach tools or anything other
than a fall protection system
connector to a D-ring. Never attach a
lanyard in any other way to a body
belt or harness.
3.6 Personal protective equipment must
not be used as slings or hoists or for
other load-bearing purposes. Belts,
harnesses or lanyards subjected to
such alternate uses must be
removed from service.
4 INSPECTION
4.1 Make inspection part of your routine
before each use.
4.2 Always inspect your equipment for
wear, deterioration, malfunction or
damage before you use it. In

WARNING
Any unit which has arrested a fall must
be removed from further service
immediately and not be re-used.
Destroy the unit and replace it with
new equipment.
NOTE
North equipment with locking snap
hooks reduces the possibility of
accidental disengagement, or roll-out,
from a D-ring.
