NEVER use fall protection equipment of any kind to hang, lift, support, or hoist tools or
equipment, unless explicitly certified for such use.
Maintenance of equipment must be done according to manufacturer's instructions. Equipment
instructions must be retained for reference.
Prior to EACH use, all equipment in a fall protection system must be inspected for any potential
or existing deficiencies that may result in its failure or reduced functionality. IMMEDIATELY
remove equipment from service if any deficiencies are found.
Equipment must be inspected by a Competent Person at least every six months. These
inspections must be documented in equipment instruction manual and on equipment inspection
grid label.
Equipment must be inspected for defects, including, but not limited to, the absence of required
labels or markings, improper form/fit/function, evidence of cracks, sharp edges, deformation,
corrosion, excessive heating, alteration, excessive wear, fraying, knotting, abrasion, and absence
of parts.
Equipment that fails inspection in any way must immediately be removed from use, or repaired
by an entity approved by the manufacturer.
No on-site repair of equipment unless explicitly permitted by Guardian Fall Protection.
Equipment subjected to forces of fall arrest must immediately be removed from use.
Snap hooks, carabiners, and other connectors must be selected and applied in a compatible
fashion. All risk of disengagement must be eliminated. All snap hooks and carabiners must be
self-locking and self-closing, and must never be connected to each other.
Age, fitness, and health conditions can seriously affect the worker should a fall occur. Consult a
doctor if there is any reason to doubt a user's ability to withstand and safely absorb fall arrest
forces or perform set-up of equipment.
Pregnant women and minors must not use this equipment.
Physical harm may still occur even if fall safety equipment functions correctly. Sustained post-fall
suspension may result in serious injury or death. Use trauma relief straps to reduce the effects of
suspension trauma.
Allowable individual worker weight limit (including all equipment), unless explicitly stated
otherwise, is 130-310 lbs.
