System requirements:Personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment must meet the applicable state, federal, OSHA and ANSI requirements. Perso-nal fall arrest systems typically include a full body harness and a shock absorbing connecting subsystem to keep fall forces to a mini-mum. As required by OSHA, the personal fall arrest system must be capable of arresting the user’s fall with a maximum arresting force of 1,800 lbs. (8kN), and limit the free fall to 6 feet (1.8m) or less.

Restraint systems used with this equipment must meet the ap-plicable state, federal, OSHA and ANSI requirements. Restraint systems typically include a full body harness and a connecting sub-system. No vertical free fall is permitted.

Rescue systems used with this equipment must meet the appli-cable state, federal, OSHA and ANSI requirements. Rescue systems areconfigureddependingonthetypeofrescue.Novertical freefall is permitted.

Anchorage requirements:• Anchorage connectors shall not be attached to an anchorage

where such attachment would reduce the anchorage strength to below the applicable level.

• Anchorage connectors shall be stabilized to prevent unwanted movement or disengagement of the system from the anchorage.

• The anchorage connector must be compatible with the snap hook or carabiner of the connecting device and must not be ca-pable of causing a load to be applied to the gate/keeper.

• Never use an anchorage connector which will not allow the snap hook or carabiner gate/keeper to close.

• Anchorage connectors shall be attached to no more than one personalfallarrestsystemunlesscertifiedforsuchpurpose.

• The anchorage requirements are dependent on the application type:

Fall Arrest:These anchorages shall be strong enough to sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least two times the maximum arrest force permitted on the system when certification exists, or 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) in the absence ofcertification.

Restraint:These anchorages shall be strong enough to sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least two times the foreseeable force permitted on the system whencertificationexists,or1,000lbs.(4.5kN) intheabsenceofcertification.

Rescue:These anchorages shall be strong enough to sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at leastfivetimestheforeseeableforcepermittedonthesystemwhencertificationexists,or3,100lbs.(13.9kN)intheabsenceofcertification.

• Connector requirements:• Connectors are considered to be compatible with the connec-

ting 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 their ori-entation.

• Connectors(self-lockingcarabiner,snaphook)mustbecapableof supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN).

• Useonlyself-lockingcarabinersandsnaphookswhichmeettherequirements of ANSI Z359.1 and OSHA, with a gate load capa-city of 3,600 lbs. (16kN).

SAFETY RULES DURING INSTALLATION• For all models with an anchor eyelet combined with a counter

nut, the anchor eyelet must be tightened using a tightening torque of 70 Nm/ 52 lbf ft (M16 model), resp. 40 NM / 30 lbf ft (M12 model).

• Wherenecessary,orwhenmountingonnon-standardsurfaces(natural stone, pumice, masonry etc.), the anchorage point should be subjected to a pull-out test in accordancewith EN795. This is done using an axial pull-out force of 5kN for 15seconds.

• The anchorage point must be planned, installed and used in such a way as to eliminate the risk of falling over the edge when the personal protective equipment is used correct-ly (please refer to the planning documentation available at www.fall-arrest.eu“).

ANNUAL INSPECTION• The anchorage system, including all connected safety devices

(lanyards etc.), must be subjected to an annual inspection by an expertwithappropriatemanufacturercertificationunderobser-vance of the manufacturer’s instructions. This examination is important as the user’s safety depends on the effectiveness and durability of the equipment.

• All annual inspections must be accordingly documented by the trained expert. The inspection documentation contained in this pamphlet may be used as a sample template.
