2.1 General Requirements
The user's organization shall retain the
manufacturer's instructions and make them
readily available to all users.
All authorized persons/users must
reference the regulations governing
occupational safety, as well as applicable
ANSI or CSA standards. Please refer
to product labeling for information on
specific OSHA regulations, and ANSI and
CSA standards met by product.
It is essential that the users of this type
of equipment receive proper training and
instruction, including detailed procedures
for the safe use of such equipment in their
work application. ANSI/ASSE Z359.2,
Minimum Requirements for a Managed Fall
Protection Program, establishes guidelines
and requirements for an employer's managed
fall protection program, including policies,
duties, and training; fall protection procedures;
eliminating and controlling fall hazards; rescue
procedures; incident investigations; and
evaluating program effectiveness.
Full-body harnesses which meet OSHA and
current ANSI/ASSE and CSA standards are
intended to be used with other components
of a Personal Fall Arrest System that limit
maximum arrest forces to 1800 lbs (8 kN)
or less.
Proper precautions should always be taken to
remove any obstructions, debris, material, or
other recognized hazards from the work area
that could cause injuries or interfere with the
operation of the system.
Always check for obstructions below the work
area to make sure potential fall path is clear.
Allow adequate fall clearance below the work
surface.
To minimize the potential for accidental
disengagement, a competent person must
ensure system compatibility.
All equipment must be inspected before
each use according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Additionally, equipment must be
inspected by a competent person, other than
the user, on a regular basis, at least annually.
