Brand
WARNING:
This product is part of a personal
fall arrest system. The user must follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for each component of
the system. These instructions must be provided
to the user of this equipment. The user must
read and understand these instructions before
using this equipment. Manufacturer’s instructions
must be followed for proper use and maintenance
of this equipment. Alterations or misuse of this
equipment, or failure to follow instructions, may
result in serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT:
Record the product
identi
fi
cation information from the ID label in the
inspection and maintenance log in this manual.
IMPORTANT:
OSHA regulations state that
horizontal lifelines shall be installed and used under
the supervision of a quali
fi
ed person (see below
for de
fi
nition) as part of a complete personal fall
arrest system that maintains a safety factor of at
least two.
QUALIFIED PERSON:
An individual with
a recognized degree or professional certi
fi
cate,
and extensive knowledge and experience in the
subject
fi
eld, who is capable of design, analysis,
evaluation, and speci
fi
cation in the subject work,
project, or product. Refer to OSHA 1910.66,
1926.32, and 1926.502.
PURPOSE:
The Web Horizontal Lifeline System is
designed for use as an anchoring means for one or
two persons. Use the Web Horizontal Lifeline System
where horizontal mobility and fall protection are
required.
LIMITATIONS:
The following limits apply to the
installation and use of the Web Horizontal Lifeline
System. Other limitations may apply:
IMPORTANT:
If you have questions on the
use, care, or suitability of this equipment for your
application, contact Capital Safety.
HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SPAN:
The maximum span
distance is 60 feet. The span length must be reduced
when clearance is limited.
ANCHORAGES:
The Web horizontal lifeline must be
installed on anchorages that meet the requirements.
SYSTEM CAPACITY:
The maximum capacity of the
Web horizontal lifeline is two persons. The maximum
weight of each person, including tools and clothing, is
310 lbs. (141kg).
CONNECTING SUBSYSTEM:
Each person’s
connecting subsystem must limit fall arrest forces to
900 lbs. (4kN) or less.
FREE FALL:
Rig and use the personal fall arrest
system such that the maximum potential free
fall does not exceed Government regulatory and
subsystem manufacturer’s requirements. See
subsystem manufacturer’s instructions for more
information.
SWING FALLS:
See Figure 2. Swing falls occur
when the anchorage point is not directly overhead.
The force of striking an object in a swing fall may
cause serious injury or death. Minimize swing falls
by working as directly below the anchorage point as
possible. Do not permit a swing fall if injury could
occur. Swing falls will signi
fi
cantly increase the
clearance required when a self retracting lifeline or
other variable length connecting subsystem is used. If
a swing fall situation exists in your application, contact
Capital Safety before proceeding.

Swing Fall Hazard
FALL CLEARANCE:
There must be suf
fi
cient clearance
below the worker to arrest a fall before striking the
lower level or obstruction.
BODY SUPPORT:
A full body harness must be used
with the Web Horizontal Lifeline System.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
Use of this equipment
in areas with environmental hazards may require
additional precautions to reduce the possibility of
injury to the user or damage to the equipment.
Hazards may include, but are not limited to; heat,
chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power
lines, gases, moving machinery, and sharp edges.
Contact Capital Safety if you have questions about
using this equipment where environmental hazards
exist.
TRAINING:
This equipment must be installed and
used by persons trained in its correct application and
use.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS:
Refer to national
standards, including ANSI Z359.1, local, state, and
federal (OSHA 1910.66 and 1926.502) requirements
for more information on personal fall arrest systems
and associated components. In Canada, see the Z259
group of CSA standards.
PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
The Web horizontal lifeline must be used with Capital
Safety approved components and subsystems. Non-
approved components may be incompatible, and
could affect the safety and reliability of the complete
system. Personal fall arrest components used with
this system must meet all applicable OSHA and ANSI
requirements. A full body harness must be used with
this system.
PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM CONNECTORS:
Connectors used to attach to the attachment O-ring
on the horizontal lifeline (hooks, carabiners, D-rings)
must support at least 5,000 lbs. Connectors and
attachment elements must be compatible in size,
shape, and strength. Non-compatible connectors may
unintentionally disengage (roll-out). Do not use non-
locking connectors with this system.
ANCHORAGE CONNECTORS:
Connectors used to
attach the horizontal lifeline to end anchors must be
compatible with the connection point. The connection
must be positive; and, with connecting elements,
capable of sustaining a 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) load
without failure.
STRUCTURE LOAD:
Structural anchorage points
must be rigid, and capable of supporting at least 3,600
lbs. (16kN) along the axis of the horizontal lifeline.
Anchorages must also support at least 3,600 lbs. (16kN)
applied in all potential directions of fall arrest that are
perpendicular to the axis of the horizontal lifeline.
WARNING:
Anchorages must be rigid. Large
deformations of the anchorage will affect system
performance, and may increase the required fall
clearance below the system, which could result in
serious injury or death.
Connecting Subsystem:
The connecting subsystem
is the portion of the personal fall arrest system that
is used to connect between the horizontal lifeline
subsystem and harness fall arrest attachment
element. The connecting subsystem must limit forces
applied to the horizontal lifeline to 900 lbs. (4kN) or
less.
WARNING:
Do not alter or intentionally misuse
this equipment. Consult Capital Safety when using
this equipment in combination with components
or subsystems other than those described in
this manual. Some subsystem and component
combinations may interfere with the operation of this
equipment. Use caution when using this equipment
around moving machinery, electrical hazards,
chemical hazards, and sharp edges.
WARNING:
Consult your doctor if there is
reason to doubt your
fi
tness to absorb the impact
from a fall arrest. Age and
fi
tness can affect your
ability to withstand fall arrest forces. Pregnant
women and minors must not use this system.
BEFORE EACH USE inspect this equipment. Do not
use this equipment if inspection reveals an unsafe or
defective condition. Plan your use of the fall protection
system prior to exposing workers to dangerous
situations. Consider all factors affecting your safety
before using this system. Read and understand all
manufacturer’s instructions for each component of the
personal fall arrest system. All Capital Safety harnesses
and connecting subsystems are supplied with separate
user instructions. Keep all instructions for future
reference.
Review these instructions to ensure system limitations
and other requirements have been adhered to. Review
applicable information regarding system clearance
