of these instructions. If this product is resold outside the original country of destination, the re-seller must provide these
instructions in the language of the country in which the product will be used.
1.3
SUPERVISION: Use of this equipment must be supervised by a Competent Person
1.4
TRAINING: This equipment must be installed and used by persons trained in its correct application. This manual is to
be used as part of an employee training program as required by ANSI and OSHA, and/or regional regulations. It is the

the correct care and use of this equipment, and are aware of the operating characteristics, application limitations, and
consequences of improper use of this equipment.
1.5
RESCUE PLAN: When using this equipment and connecting subsystem(s), the employer must have a rescue plan and
the means at hand to implement and communicate that plan to users, authorized persons
site rescue team is recommended. Team members should be provided with the equipment and techniques to perform a
successful rescue. Training should be provided on a periodic basis to ensure rescuer proficiency.
1.6

by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no longer than one year.
the "Inspection and Maintenance Log". Results of each Competent Person inspection should be recorded on copies of the
"Inspection and Maintenance Log".
1.7
AFTER A FALL: If the Anchorage Connector is subjected to the forces of arresting a fall, it must be removed from service
immediately, clearly marked "DO NOT USE", and then either destroyed or forwarded to 3M for replacement or repair.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1
ANCHORAGE: Anchorage structure requirements vary with the system application and whether it is a certified
anchorage
or non-certified anchorage

attached must sustain static loads applied in the directions permitted as shown in the following table. Anchorage Strength
requirements, along with system applications, are specified below, unless noted or defined otherwise in Table 1:
Fall Protection System
Fall Arrest
Restraint/Travel Restraint
Work Positioning
Rescue
When more than one system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths stated above must be multiplied by the number
of systems attached to the anchorage. See ANSI Z359.2 for more information.
2.2
PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Figure 1 illustrates the application of this Anchorage Connector. Personal Fall
Arrest Systems (PFAS) used with the system must meet applicable Fall Protection standards, codes, and requirements.
The PFAS must incorporate a Full Body Harness and limit Arresting Force to the following values:
PFAS with Shock Absorbing Lanyard
PFAS with Self Retracting Device (SRD)
1 Fall Arrest System:
A collection of Fall Protection Equipment configured to arrest a free fall. Protects the user in the event of a fall. Free fall is permitted up to
the limits allowed by the connecting device (either an Energy Absorbing Lanyard or Self-Retracting Device (SRD)).
2 Restraint System:
A collection of Fall Protection Equipment configured to prevent the person's center of gravity from reaching a fall hazard.Prevents the user
from reaching a hazard. No verical free fall is permitted.
3 Work Positioning System:
arrest system. Maximum permissible free fall is 2 feet.
4 Rescue System:
A collection of Fall Protection Equipment configured to remove a person from danger, harm, or confinement to a safe location. No vertical free
fall is permitted.
5 Competent Person:
One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary,
hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.
6 Authorized Person:
A person assigned by the employer to perform duties at a location where the person will be exposed to a fall hazard.
7 Rescuer:
Person or persons other than the rescue subject acting to perform an assisted rescue by operation of a rescue system.
8 Inspection Frequency:
inspections.
9  Certified Anchorage:
An anchorage for fall arrest, positioning, restraint, or rescue systems that a Qualified Person certifies to be capable of meeting the
criteria for a certified anchorage according to Section 2.1.
