• Use only with compatible components or subsystems. Substitutions
or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems
may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect the safety
and reliability of the complete system.
• This equipment is designed for a single user. Combined weight of user,
including clothing, tools, etc. must not exceed weight capacity of up to
310 lbs.
• Use only with structures capable of supporting static loads required for
Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) as follows:
• FALL ARREST:
OSHA 1910.66 and 1926.502 state that anchorages
used for attachment of a PFAS must be independent of any anchorage
being used to support or suspend platforms, and must support at least
5,000 lbs. per user attached, or be designed, installed and used as part
of a complete PFAS which maintains a safety factor of at least two,
and is supervised by a qualified person (architect, structural engineer,
etc.). The anchorage to which this SAL is attached must be capable of
sustaining static loads in directions applied by the personal fall arrest
system of at least 3,600 lbs (or at least twice the expected dynamic load)
with certification of a qualified person (architect, structural engineer,
etc.), or 5,000 lbs in the absence of certification. If multiple personal fall
arrest systems are being attached to the same anchorage, the minimum
values stated above must be multiplied by the number of users.
