4. Inspect this
Fall Arrest System in accordance with Section 8 of this manual.
Be sure to consult, and adhere to the instructional
materials, labels and warnings accompanying the other
components of your PFAS as well.
5. Depress the thumb-latch or thumb-latches and slide the jaw or
jaws out enough to allow the beam flange to fit between the
jaws.
6. Position the Ratcheting/Sliding Beam Anchor over the beam so
that both jaws extend over the flange.
7. Depress the thumb latch or latches and move the jaw or jaws
toward the D-ring (which should be centered on the beam) until
they make contact with the beam flange. Release the thumb
latches and ensure that the thumb latches have fully engaged
the teeth on the bar.
8. Check to make sure that the maximum total clearance between
the jaws and the beam flange is no more than half an inch (or
one tooth-spacing on the bar).
9. Check your installation to ensure that the Ratcheting/Sliding
Beam Anchor cannot come off of the beam at any point along
the intended path of movement or at beam joints or ends.
10. Ensure your Full Body Harness is properly donned and adjusted
and that your connecting device is securely attached to your
back D-ring. Tie-off to the Ratcheting/Sliding Beam Anchor with
your connecting device.
11. Proceed cautiously with your work. Do not run, jump or over-
reach. While moving, the Ratcheting/Sliding Beam Anchor
should slide on the beam, allowing you greater mobility. If it
does not slide smoothly, then check to ensure the D-ring on the
Beam Anchor is centered on the beam. Also check for jagged
edges, fasteners, paint build-up welding spatter or other
obstructions. Any type of obstruction or any sudden
movement may cause the Beam Anchor to seize-up on the
beam, causing you to lose your footing. Move with care and
deliberation at all times while working at heights.
12. Do not allow your connecting device to pass under your arm or
between your legs – severe injury or death may result. Also
avoid sharp edges which may damage your connecting device in
the event of a fall.
13. If the beam to which this anchor is attached is sloped or vertical,
the Beam Anchor must be positioned next to a stop which will
prevent the Beam Anchor from sliding or moving in the event of a
fall. Joints between beam sections must be flush and must have
a maximum gap of ½".
14. If you are tied-off at the foot-level, or in a manner that will allow
more than six feet of free fall, ensure that your connecting device
Beam Anchor, and all components of your Personal
