WARNING
• Users should consult with their doctor to verify ability to safely absorb the forces of a fall arrest event.
Fitness level, age, and other health conditions can greatly affect an individuals ability to withstand fall
arrest forces. Women who are pregnant, individuals considered minors must not use any SafeWaze
equipment.
• Never alter any part of a lanyard or add/remove components. SafeWaze shall not be held
responsible for injury or death due to tampering.
• Anchors that are exposed to fall arrest forces MUST be IMMEDIATELY removed from service and
destroyed.
• Failure to follow these instructions and warnings could result in serious injury or death in the event
of a fall.
• A preplanned rescue procedure in the event of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be specific to
the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or to be promptly rescued
by alternative means.
• Harnesses or connectors selected for use with any SafeWaze anchor must be compatible in size and
configuration. User must ensure compatibility of snap hooks, carabiners and other connectors. Any
connection which could allow disengagement must be eliminated. Snap hooks and carabiners must be
self locking and self closing and must never be hooked to each other.
• 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 anchor for deficiencies or damage, including, but not limited to, sharp
edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical exposure, extreme heat exposure,
kinked, bird nested, or otherwise damaged cable, and damaged, missing or illegible labels. If any
deficiencies or defects are found, the anchor must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The anchor must be inspected at least every 6 months by a Competent Person other than the user.
Competent person inspections must be recorded in the inspection log included in this manual and on the
inspection grid label on the anchor.

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. SafeWaze Drop
Through Anchors are only authorized for use on a Horizontal surface above the user’s location.
2. SafeWaze Drop Through Anchors 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. To install a Safewaze Drop Through Anchor, the user must create, or use an existing through hole in
either concrete, steel, or metal grating that meets the specifications indicated below (See Figure 6).
4. Once the appropriate sized through hole is created or located (See Dwg. 1-4), install the Drop
Through Anchor by placing the cable through the hole from the top side (See Dwg. 5).
5. After lowering the cable assembly of the Drop Through Anchor through the hole, ensure that the plate
sits flush on the mounting surface (See Dwg. 6)
6. After installation, the user can safely hook to the PFAS Connection Point, utilizing a connecting device
attached to the Dorsal D-ring of a Full Body Harness (See Dwg. 7)
7. SafeWaze Drop Through Anchors are designed as a fall arrest anchorage for a single user with a
maximum weight capacity of 310 lbs. including tools and equipment.
