Planning the Use of Systems
3.1.1
Rescue and Evacuation
The user must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it. The plan must take into account equipment and
special training necessary to effect prompt rescue under all foreseeable conditions. For confined space rescue, see OSHA
regulation 1910.146, ANSI Z117.1, or applicable local regulations.
Integral Safety Step, V-Flex harness only: As soon as practical, after a fall, open the pouches of the V-flex harness and
release the safety step. Place feet in the loops in order to straighten the legs as far as practical.
PRD: For harnesses equipped with a PRD, reference the instructions that come with the PRD.
3.1.2
Free Fall Distance, Total Fall Distance and System Elongation
WARNING!
• DO NOT exceed the allowable free fall distance or exceed the maximum fall arrest forces as specified by governing
standards or subsystem components.
• Work directly under the anchorage/anchorage connector at all times. A full body harness is the only acceptable body
holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
• Ensure that fall clearance is sufficient to meet governing standards or subsystem component requirements.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
When using a shock absorbing lanyard, keep the amount of slack between the anchorage/anchorage connector and the
harness/waist belt at a minimum to reduce the free fall distance and the impact force to the user.
