From OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66
Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest systems shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or
suspend platforms, and capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) per user attached, or be designed, installed, and used
as part of a complete personal fall arrest systems which maintains a safety factor of at least two, and is under the supervision of a
qualified person.
9.0 INSPECTION FREQUENCY
Either the Authorized Person (User), or the Rescuer must inspect this equipment before each use. Annual inspections must be
completed by a Competent Person other than the user. Results must be documented.
10.0 RESCUE PLAN
When using this equipment, employers must create a rescue plan, and provide the means to implement the plan. This plan must
be communicated to equipment users, authorized persons, and rescuers. Rescue operations require specialized equipment
beyond the scope of this manual. See ANSI Z359.4-2013 for specific rescue information.
11.0 COMPATIBILITY OF COMPONENTS
Unless otherwise noted, Safewaze equipment is designed for use with Safewaze approved components and subsystems only.
Substitutions or replacements made with non-approved components or subsystems may jeopardize compatibility of equipment
and may affect safety and reliability of the complete system.
IMPORTANT:
in your personal fall arrest system.
12.0 COMPATIBILITY OF CONNECTORS
Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed to work together in such a way that their
sizes and shapes do not cause their gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented. Connectors
(hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Do not use equipment that is not
compatible. Non-compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage (See Figure 3). Connectors must be compatible with the
anchorage or other system components (See Figure 4). Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking
snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact Safewaze if you have any questions about
compatibility.
NOTE:
SAFEWAZE WITH QUESTIONS.
1 - Non-compliant part
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook or carabiner could allow the
connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or carabiner
presses against the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This allows the snap hook or carabiner to
disengage (4) from the connection point.
Read and follow manufacturer's instructions for associated components and subsystems
