Do not lubricate this device.
The device must be kept clean and free of
contaminants.
from service if any part of the system
appears to be damaged or does not
pass inspection, or if the unit has been
subjected to the forces of arresting a fall.

3.0 System Compatibility

Miller self-retracting lifelines are designed for use with Honeywell-approved components only.
Substitution or replacement with non-approved component combinations or subsystems or both
may affect or interfere with the safe function of each other and endanger the compatibility within
the system. This incompatibility may affect the reliability and safety of the total system.
3.1 Personal Fall Arrest System Components
Three key components of the Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) need to be in place and
properly used to provide maximum worker protection.
A
The anchorage, also referred to as the anchor point or tie-off
point, is a secure point of attachment for connecting devices
and must be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. (22.2kN) per
worker or meet OSHA requirements for a safety factor of two,
such as an I-beam or other support structure. An anchorage
connector, such as the cross-arm strap, D-bolt or rebar
hook anchor, is sometimes necessary to make a compatible
connection between the connecting device and the anchorage.
B
The second system component is the personal protective gear
worn by the worker while performing the job. The only form of
body wear acceptable for fall arrest is the full-body harness.
Full-body harnesses are engineered to aid in the arrest of a
free fall and must be worn in all situations where workers are
exposed to a potential free fall.
C
The third component of the system is the connecting device,
the critical link which joins the body wear to the anchorage/anchorage connector. The most
important feature of the connecting device is the shock absorber. Whether the connecting
device is a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, they are designed to dramatically
reduce fall arrest forces. Rope, web or wire rope lanyards being used for fall arrest MUST be
used in conjunction with a shock absorber (i.e., Miller SofStop pack).
Individually, none of these components will provide protection from a fall. However,
when used properly and in conjunction with each other, they form a Personal Fall Arrest
System that becomes vitally important to safety on the job site.
