INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Safewaze FS886 anchor.  This manual must be read and understood in its 

entirety, and used as part of an employee training program as required by OSHA or any applicable state 

agency.  This manual and any other instructional material must be available to the user of the equipment.  

The user must understand how to safely and effectively use their full body harness, and all fall protection 

equipment used in conjuction with the full body harness.  

APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS

When used according to instructions, the FS886 meets all applicable ANSI Z359.1 standards and OSHA 

regulations for fall protection.  Applicable standards and regulations depend on the type of work being 

done, and may include state-specific regulations.  Refer to local, state, and federal (OSHA) 

requirements for additional information concerning the governing of occupational safety regarding 

Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS).

WORKER CLASSIFICATIONS

Understand the definitions of those who work in proximity of or may be 

exposed to fall hazards.

Qualified Person:  

“Qualified” means one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, 

or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully 

demonstrated his ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the 

project.

Competent Person:  

“Competent person” means one who is capable of identifying existing and 

predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or 

dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate 

them.

Authorized Person:  

“Authorized person” means a person approved or assigned by the employer to 

perform a specific type of duty or duties or to be at a specific location or locations at the job site.

It is the responsibility of a Qualified or Competent person to supervise the job site and 

ensure safety regulations are complied with.  

PRODUCT SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

 

-  Structures  for  attachment  of  Safewaze  FS886  shall  support  a  minimum       

                               

 

  5,000 lbs or be designed with a safety factor of two by a Qualified Person.  

 

- All Safewaze anchors must IMMEDIATELY be removed from service if subjected  

                            to fall arrest forces.

 

- Safewaze anchors shall be inspected by the end user prior to each usage and    

   

  by a Competent Person other than the user at least annually.  These annual 

 

  inspections shall be documented.

Fall Clearance:  

There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall

before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction.  When calculating fall clearance, account for a

MINIMUM 2’ safety factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, and all other 

applicable factors. (See Figure 1)

Fall Clearance Diagram

***Diagram shown is an example

For all applications: worker weight capacity range

(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-310 lbs

FIGURE 1 

Swing Falls:  

Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all swing 

fall hazards.  Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. 

Always work as close to in line with the anchor point as possible.  Swing falls significantly increase 

the likelihood of serious injury or death in the even of a fall. (See Figure 2)

COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS 

 

Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together 

in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open 

regardless of how they become oriented.  Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be 

capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage 

or other system components (see Figure 5). 

Do not use equipment that is not compatible

Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (see Figure 3). Connectors must be 

compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI 

Z359 and OSHA guidelines.  Contact Safewaze if you have any questions about compatibility

.

NOTE:

 SOME SPECIALTY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL 

REQUIREMENTS.  CONTACT SAFEWAZE WITH QUESTIONS.

FIGURE 5 - INAPPROPRIATE CONNECTIONS

MAKING CONNECTIONS

  

Snap hooks and carabiners used with this equipment must be double locking and/or twist lock.  Ensure 

all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. 

Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.

Safewaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only as specified in each 

product’s user’s instructions. See figure 4

 

for examples of inappropriate connections. Do not connect 

snap hooks and carabiners:

•  To a D-ring to which another connector is attached. 

• 

In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back hooks). NOTE: 

Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook 

twists or rotates. Snap hooks marked with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and are equipped with 

a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility. 

NOTE:

 Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar 

objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless 

the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 

3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate 

for your application.

• 

In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or carabiner catch on the 

anchor, and  without visual confirmation seems to be fully engaged to the anchor point. 

•  To each other. 

• 

By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as allowed for Tie Back 

models.

•  To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will not close and 

lock, or that  roll-out could occur. 

• 

In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load. 

Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook or carabiner could 

allow the connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate 

of the hook or carabiner presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This 

allows the snap hook or carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.

Purpose:  

The Safewaze FS886 is designed to be used as part of a Personal Fall Arrest System 

(PFAS). 

  

- A competent person shall train users on this equipment in accordance with OSHA

 

  and ANSI. 

 

- Never exceed a free fall distance of 6 ft.  A free fall of more than 6 ft could cause 

                            excessive arrest forces that could result in serious injury or death.  

 

- The Safewaze FS886 has  a maximum capacity of 310 lbs including any tools,    

   

  clothing, accessories, etc..., unless otherwise rated by Safewaze.
