• A Competent Person must conduct an analysis of the workplace and anticipate where workers will be
conducting their duties, the route they will take to reach their work, and the existing and potential fall
hazards they may be exposed to. The Competent Person must choose the fall protection equipment
to be utilized.
• Do not misuse equipment.
• Equipment designated for fall protection must never be used to lift, hang, support or hoist tools or
equipment unless specifically certified for such use.
• SAFEWAZE™ Anchors shall be inspected prior to each use by the user and at least every 6 months
by a Competent Person. Annual inspections shall be documented. Severity of conditions during use
may necessitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the 018-4000 Chain Anchor for deficiencies or damage, including, but not
limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme
heat exposure, torn or damaged Flexible Membrane, or missing or illegible labels. If any deficiencies or
defects are found, the 018-4000 must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The 018-4000 Chain Anchor must be inspected at least every 6 months by a Competent Person other

LABELS
1. Under guidance of a Competent or Qualified Person, a suitable anchor point must be chosen that
meets the strength requirement, minimizes free fall, and reduces swing fall hazards. Do not work above
the anchorage point.
2. The 018-4000 Chain Anchor can be installed on any structure that meets the strength requirements as
defined in the SPECIFIC ANCHOR APPLICATIONS section of this manual for Personal Fall Arrest.
3. The 018-4000 Chain Anchor can be mounted at the peak of a roof structure with one mounting plate
on each side of the peak, or mounted flat on the roof perpendicular to the peak. In either instance, the
Chain Anchor must be mounted to the roof structure through the sheating and into a joist via the supplied
(6) 5/16” x 3” lag bolts, or with (12) customer supplied 16D Nails. All fastners must be fully embedded
into sheathing and joist (See Figure 6).
4. The 018-4000 is suitable for use with
2 Person
Horizontal Lifeline Systems only. If used in conjunction
with a Horizontal Lifeline System, the lag bolts must be used for installation.
5. The 018-4000 Chain Anchor can be removed and re-used unless the Chain Anchor is damaged or has
experienced Fall Arrest Forces. If either of these conditions exist, the Chain Anchor must IMMEDIATELY
removed from service and destroyed.
6. The 018-4000 is designed as a fall arrest anchorage for a single user with a maximum weight capacity
of 310 lbs. including tools and equipment. If two 018-4000 Chain Anchors are used for installation of a
Horizontal Lifeline System, the system can accomodate up to two users.
7. The allowable working radius of the 018-4000 Chain Anchor is 30° perpendicular to the anchor
and 30° in line with the anchor (See Figure 7).
