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 neccesitate increased frequency of documented inspections.
• Anchors that fail inspection MUST be removed from service.
• Prior to each use, inspect the FS-EX311 Satnding Seam Roof Anchor for deficiencies or damage,
including, but not limited to, sharp edges, rough edges, deformations, corrosion, pits, burrs, chemical
exposure, extreme heat exposure, or missing or illegible labels. If any deficiencies or defects are found,
the FS-EX311 must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service.
• The FS-EX311 Standing Seam Roof 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 FS-EX311.

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 FS-EX311 Standing Seam Roof 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 FS-EX311 Standing Seam Roof anchor is a rated roof anchor point designed for sloped or flat
roofs. The Standing Seam roof deck must be rated to meet OSHA, federal, state, and local government
regulations for fall protection anchor points. MINIMUM required substrate thickness is 24 gauge.
4. The FS-EX311 Standing Seam Roof Anchor is NOT suitable for use with Horizontal Lifelines.
5. To install the FS-EX311 Standing Seam Roof Anchor the user will first loosen the 4 Tightening Bolts.
This allows the two side plates to seperate a sufficient distance for installation onto the standing seam
(See Figure 6).
6. Once the FS-EX311 is opened wide enough to allow the standing seam to be enclosed in the anchor,
the user will then tighten the bolts to 50 ft. lbs. starting with the top two bolts first (See Figure 7). Once
all bolts are tightened, the bolts should be loosened once again and retightened on the standing seam.
This ensures proper compression of any open space within the seam.
7. The allowable working radius of the FS-EX311 Standing Seam Roof Anchor is 30° in line with the
anchor (See Figure 8).
