4.0 Product Specific Applications

Personal Fall Arrest: SafeWaze Cable Horizontal Lifelines can be used as part of a
complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) for a maximum of 2 users. The structure
utilized for attachment must be capable of withstanding a load of 5,000 lbs in all
directions permitted by the system. The maximum allowable free fall is 6 ft.

5.0 Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to
arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall
clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2' safety factor, deceleration distance, user height,
length of Lanyard/SRD, and all other applicable factors (See Figure 1).
***Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
G
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or
minimizing all swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly
above the location where a fall occurs. Always work as close to in line with the anchor
point as possible. Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or
death in the event of a fall (See Figure 2).
For all applications: worker weight capacity range for 1 User
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 420 lbs.
Capacity range for 2 Users is (130-310 lbs) for each User
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment)
