• Always visually check that each snaphook and carabiner freely engages the
D-ring or anchor point, and that its keeper is completely closed and locked.
• Connect in a manner that limits free fall to the shortest possible distance
(6ft/1.8m maximum).
• Shock absorbers can elongate up to 3.5ft (1.07m). This maximum elongation
distance must be considered when choosing an anchorage point.
• Connect in a manner which ensures a lower level will not be struck should a fall
occur.
• Do not tie knots in lanyards.
• Never disable or restrict a locking keeper or alter connecting devices in any way.
• Do not attach multiple lanyards together, or attach a lanyard back onto itself unless
it is specifically designed for that purpose.
• Do not wrap lanyards around sharp or rough edges. Use a cross-arm strap, tie
back lanyard or other compatible anchorage connector and connect to the back
D-ring of the harness.
• Do not allow rope or webbing to come in contact with high temperature surfaces,
welding, heat sources, electrical hazards, or moving machinery.
• Never use natural materials (manila, cotton, etc.) as part of a fall protection system.
• Make sure snaphook is positioned so that its keeper is never load bearing.
ANCHOR POINTS
• Anchor points must be capable of supporting 5000lbs (22kN).
• Always work directly under the anchor point to avoid a swing-fall injury.
• Never wrap lanyards around sharp or rough anchor points. Use a cross-arm strap
or other compatible anchorage connector to connect lanyard snaphook.
• Ensure that the anchor point is at a height that limits free-fall distance to 6ft (1.8m)
or less.
• Anchor point must be compatible with snaphook or carabiner and must not be
capable of causing a load to be applied to the keeper.
• Ensure that the anchor point is at a height that will not allow a lower level to be
struck should a fall occur.
• When selecting an anchorage point, always remember that shock absorbers may
elongate up to 3.5ft (1.07m).
• Never use an anchor point which will not allow snaphook or carabiner keeper to
close.
BODY WEAR
• Visually check all buckles to assure proper and secure connections before each
use.
• All straps must be connected and adjusted to provide a snug fit.
• Fall protection connecting devices should be attached to the back D-ring of a full
body harness.
• Never attach non-locking snaps to a D-ring.
• Side, front and chest D-rings should be used for positioning only.
• Shoulder D-rings should be used for retrieval only.
