3.0 DEFINITIONS:
3.1 Fall Restraint System – A fall restraint system (FRS) prevents the user from falling. The system is comprised of
a body harness along with an anchorage, connectors and other necessary equipment. The components typically
include a lanyard and also may include a lifeline and other devices. The Raptor R-2000
anchorage in a fall restraint system for up to two workers.
3.2 Personal Fall Arrest System – A personal fall arrest system (PFAS) arrests a fall after a fall has begun. The
system is comprised of an anchorage, connectors, and a body harness and may include a deceleration lifeline, or
suitable combinations. Note that a PFAS does NOT prevent a fall from occurring. The Raptor R-2000
used as an anchorage in a PFAS for up to three workers. A Personal Fall Arrest System must meet the following
OSHA requirements:

Limit maximum arresting force on an employee to 1,800 pounds when used with a body harness;

Be rigged so that an employee can neither free-fall more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) nor contact any lower level;

Bring an employee to a complete stop and limit maximum deceleration distance an employee travels to 3.5
feet (1.07 meters); and

Have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of an employee free-falling a distance
of 6 feet (1.8 meters) or the free-fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less.
3.3 Anchorage — An anchorage is a secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards, or deceleration devices. The
