ƒ CAUTION! Understand the definitions of those
who work near, or who may be exposed to, fall
hazards.
ƒ WARNING! Use of equipment in unintended
applications may result in serious injury or death.
Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
Do not alter or misuse equipment.
Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, corrosive
chemicals, electrical shock, sharp objects or edges,
machinery, flame/high heat, abrasive or uneven surfaces,
UV exposure, and severe or prolonged weather conditions,
must be assessed by a Competent Person (CP) before fall
protection equipment is selected. The presence of any/all
of these conditions may have negative effects on product
performance or service lifetime.
The analysis of the workplace must anticipate where workers
will be performing their duties, the routes they will take to
reach their work, and the potential and existing fall hazards
they may be exposed to. Fall protection equipment must be
chosen by a CP. Selections must account for all potential
hazardous workplace conditions. All fall protection equipment
should be purchased new and in an unused condition.
Fall protection systems must be selected and installed under
the supervision of a CP, and used in a compliant manner.
The system must be designed in a manner compliant with
all federal, state, and safety regulations. Forces applied to
anchors must be calculated by a CP.
Harnesses and connectors selected must be compliant
with manufacturer's instructions, and must be of compatible
size and configuration. Snap hooks, karabiners, and other
connectors must be selected and applied in a compatible
fashion. All risk of disengagement must be eliminated. All
snap hooks and karabiners must be self-locking and self-
closing, and must never be connected to each other.
See Diagram B page 14.
A pre-planned rescue procedure in the case of a fall is
required. The rescue plan must be project-specific. The
rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves,
or provide an alternative means for their prompt rescue to
10
minimise post fall suspension time. Store rescue equipment
in an easily accessible and clearly marked area.
Training of Authorised Persons (APs) to correctly erect,
disassemble, inspect, maintain, store, and use equipment
must be provided by a CP. Training must include the ability to
recognise fall hazards, minimise the likelihood of fall hazards,
and the correct use of personal fall arrest systems.
NEVER use fall protection equipment of any kind to hang,
lift, support, or hoist tools or equipment, unless explicitly
certified for such use.
Equipment subjected to forces of fall arrest must immediately
be removed from use.
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 safely withstand 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.

INSTALLATION AND USE

ƒ WARNING! The devices have been tested for
horizontal use in accordance with CNB/P/11.060
however loading over an edge shall be avoided.
ƒ During overhead use never work outside of a 45° cone
beneath the device (22.5° either side of vertical), if a
fall were to occur the device would lock and the user
would swing like a pendulum and may sustain injury
from this hazard.
ƒ If the risk assessment carried out before the start of
the work shows that the edge is very "cutting" and/
or "free of burrs" (such as in case of an unclad roof
parapet, a rusty steel girder or a concrete edge):
relevant measures shall be taken before the start of
the work to prevent a drop over the edge or before the
start of work, an edge protection shall be mounted or
the manufacturer shall be contacted.
