5.0 SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS
5.1 COMPATIBILITY OF SYSTEM PARTS
5.1.1 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS
WORKMAN FP Stryder are designed to be used with other MSA Approved products. Use of the WORKMAN FP Stryder with products made by others
that are not approved in writing by MSA may adversely affect the functional compatibility between system parts and the safety and reliability of the
complete system.
5.1.2 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
Connectors, such as D-rings, snaphooks, and carabiners must be rated at 5000 Ibf (22.2kN) minimum capacity. MSA connectors meet this requirement.
Connecting hardware must be compatible in size, shape and strength. Non-compatible connectors may accidentally disengage ("roll out"). Always
verify that the connecting D-ring on the WORKMAN FP Stryder is compatible with the snaphook, or carabiner of the lanyard subsystem.
5.1.3 ANCHORAGES
The acceptable anchorage for the WORKMAN FP Stryder is a horizontal I-beam. The I-beam must be configured so that the WORKMAN FP Stryder
cannot come off the end of the beam and have a strength capable of supporting a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the system, of
at least: (a) 3600Ibf.(16kN) when certification exists, or (b) 5000Ibf (22.2kN) in the absence of certification. See ANSI Z359.1-2007 for definition of
certificate. When more than one personal fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the anchorage strengths set forth in (a) and (b) must be
multiplied by the number of systems attached to the anchorage. See ANSI Z359.1-2007, Section 7.2.3. This requirement is consistent with OSHA
requirements under CFR 1910, subpart F, Section 1910.66, Appendix C. In addition, it is recommended that the user of personal fall arrest systems
refer to ANSI Z359.1-2007, Section 7, for important considerations in equipment selection, rigging, use and training.
6.0 PLANNING THE USE OF SYSTEMS
6.1 FREE FALL DISTANCE, TOTAL FALL DISTANCE AND SYSTEM ELONGATION
1. Free fall distance. Limited to 6 ft. (1.8m) by OSHA and ANSI Z359.1-2007.ANSI A10.32 limited to 5 ft. (1.5m) by Canadian regulations.
2. Total fall distance. The sum of the free fall distance and deceleration distance plus a 3 ft safety margin.
3. Deceleration distance. Must not exceed 3.5 ft (1.1m).
6.2 PENDULUM (SWING) FALLS
Swing fall hazards must be minimized by anchoring directly above the user's work space. The force of striking an object in a pendular motion can cause
serious injury. Always minimize swing falls by working as directly below the anchorage point as possible.
6.3 RESCUE AND EVACUATION
The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it. The plan must take into account the equipment and special training
necessary to effect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions.
7.0 CARE, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
7.1 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Use a clean damp (not wet) cloth to remove dirt or contamination which may cause corrosion or hamper readability of labels. Wipe off any moisture
before returning the device to service. The frequency of cleaning should be determined by inspection and by severity of the environment. In highly
corrosive environments cleaning should be done every two or three days. Never use solvents to clean the device as they may damage the plastic
components. Don't use abrasives to scour the device as they may damage the surface and the labels. To remove oil or grease, use a mild dishwater
detergent on a damp cloth or sponge and follow by repeated swabbing with a clean cloth to remove all soap residue. Never immerse the product in
water or other liquid.
7.2 STORAGE
Store the device in a clean, dry place indoors. Store the product away from heat and steam and never allow it to rest for lengthy periods of time on
concrete or ash floors as the lime sulfur and ash can cause corrosion.
7.3 MAINTENANCE
User maintenance consists of cleaning and drying the device and replacement of the glide pad. All other maintenance or repair/work must be done at
the factory or by an authorized person. (Authorization by MSA must be written).
8.0 MARKINGS AND LABELS
The labels must be present, legible and securely attached to the WORKMAN FP STRYDER. The labels are located on the sides of the jaws.
