Limitations - Guardian 3 Harness Serie Manual De Instrucciones

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/SRL, harness
stretch, and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example fall
clearance calculation ONLY.
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.
Compatibility: When making connections
with Series 3 Harness, eliminate all possibility
of roll-out. Roll-out occurs when interference
between a hook and the attachment point
causes the hook gate to unintentionally open
and release. All connections must be selected
and deemed compatible with Series 3 Harness
by a Competent Person. All connector gates
must be self-closing and self-locking, and
withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs. See
the following for examples of
compatible/incompatible connections:
