Fall arrest systems must be rigged in ac-
cordance to regulatory requirements. [All
instructions and warnings provided with
the components of the personal fall arrest
system must be read, understood, and fol-
lowed.]
Make sure that all connections within the
fall arrest system are compatible.
The anchorage
compatible with the snap hook or carabiner
of the con-necting device and must not be
capable of causing a load to be applied to
the gate/keeper.
Use only locking carabiners, locking snap
hooks or other Miller approved connectors
or connecting devices to attach to this
equipment.
Never use an anchorage connector which
will not allow snap hook or carabiner gate/
keeper to close.
Miller roof anchors and roofing system kits
are designed FOR USE BY ONE PERSON
ONLY.
Never work above the roof anchor (i.e.,
higher level, dormer, higher roof structure,
etc.)
Use of these systems is not suitable when
the user is positioned on an unstable
surface, fine grain material, or particulate
solids such as sand or coal.
Lifelines must be kept clean.
Never allow the lifeline to become slack
between the rope grab and roof anchor.
Never allow the lifeline to pass under or
entwine around arms, legs, neck or any
other obstacle.
Do not tie knots in lifelines.
Use rope grabs only with the appropriate
vertical lifeline included in the system kit.
Do not use system if rope grab does not
lock onto the lifeline.
The structure that this anchor (system) is
attached to must be capable of supporting
5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) per user attached; or
be designed, installed and used, under the
supervision of a qualified person, as part
of a complete personal fall arrest system
which maintains a safety factor of at least
two.
connector must
All roof anchors, when installed per Miller
instructions as part of a Miller personal fall
arrest system, meet the OSHA anchorage
strength requirement of maintaining a
safety factor of at least two.
Anchorage requirements based on ANSI
Z359.1 are as follows:
• For fall arrest systems, anchorages
must withstand a static load of 5,000 lbs.
be
(22.2kN) for non-certified anchorages or
two times the maximum arresting force
for certified anchorages.
• For positioning systems, anchorages
must withstand a static load of 3,000 lbs.
(13.3kN) for non-certified anchorages
or two times the foreseeable force for
certified anchorages.
• For travel restraint, anchorages must
withstand a static load of 1,000 lbs.
(4.5kN) for non-certified anchorages
or two times the foreseeable force for
certified anchorages.
• When more than one personal fall arrest
system is attached to an anchorage, the
above anchorage strengths must be
multiplied by the number of personal fall
arrest systems attached to the anchorage.
Before installation and before each use,
inspect the structure and roof members
(i.e., studs,
where the roof anchor is installed or will
be installed for deteriorated wood, rot,
decay, defects, or any other questionable
conditions.
of the support structure will support the
anticipated loads created by a fall arrest.
Before use of any roofing fall protection
system, ensure that the anchor is properly
and securely installed with the required
number of fasteners.
All roof anchors and roofing fall protection
system kits are OSHA compliant. For ANSI
and CSA compliance, refer to product
labeling.
