WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
User must read, understand, and follow all safety and usage information contained within this manual prior to use of this equipment. Failure to follow
all safety and usage information can result in serious injury or death.
These instructions shall be provided to the user. User must read, understand, and follow all safety and usage information contained within this manual
prior to use of this equipment. Failure to follow these instructions or improper use can result in serious injury or death.
Equipment subjected to forces of fall arrest must immediately be removed from use.
Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, flame, corrosive chemicals, electrical shock, sharp objects, machinery, abrasive substances, weather conditions,
and uneven surfaces, must be assessed by a Competent Person before fall protection equipment is selected. The inspection 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 Competent Person. Selections must account for all potential hazardous workplace conditions. All fall protection
equipment should be purchased in new and unused condition.
Intended Use:
The equipment covered in this manual is intended for use as part of a complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). Use of this equipment for any other purpose,
such as material handling, sports activities, or other action not described in these User Instructions is not approved by Safewaze. Use of this equipment in a
manner outside the scope of those covered within this manual can result in serious injury or death. The equipment covered in this manual is only to be used by
trained personnel in workplace applications.
This equipment is part of a complete PFAS. Every user must be trained in the inspection, installation, operation, and proper usage of their complete PFAS.
Unapproved or inappropriate use of Safewaze equipment could result in serious injury or death. Refer to these instructions for the proper selection, installation,
maintenance, and service of this equipment. For questions regarding use of this equipment beyond the scope of this manual, contact Safewaze.
The warnings below are designed to reduce the risks associated with the use of a Safewaze Vertical Rope Lifeline System:
•
DO NOT alter this equipment.
•
DO NOT attempt to modify this equipment.
•
DO NOT use this equipment in any way not described in this manual.
•
Exposure of this equipment to chemicals, high heat, severe cold, or other harsh environments may produce a harmful effect. If in doubt of suitable conditions
contact Safewaze.
•
Avoid use of this equipment around moving machinery and electrical hazards.
•
Avoid use of this equipment near sharp and abrasive surfaces.
•
Improper use of this equipment, not following instructions or markings, may cause serious injury or death.
•
Frequency of periodic inspection by a Competent Person other than the user should be established by the user's organization based upon careful
consideration of relevant factors. Such factors include the nature and severity of workplace conditions affecting the equipment and the modes of use and
exposure time of the equipment.
•
Inspect all equipment prior to each use.
•
The equipment must be inspected annually by Competent Person other than the user. These results must be documented.
•
If the users fall arrest subsystem is comprised of components from different manufacturers, the competent person must determine that all components are
compatible. Ensure that components meet all applicable standards and/or regulations for the work being performed.
•
This equipment is designed for Fall Protection/Fall Arrest applications only.
•
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the maximum allowable free fall distance for lanyards must not exceed 6'.
•
NEVER use fall protection equipment of any kind to hang, lift, support, or hoist tools or equipment, unless explicitly certified for such use.
•
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.
Users should enact the precautionary measures listed below to reduce the inherent risks of working at height:
•
Fall protection equipment that fails inspection must be removed from service and tagged "Unusable." The equipment should then be returned to Safewaze
for repair / service (if applicable) or destroyed. For questions regarding service/repair of components, contact Safewaze.
•
Never exceed the maximum allowable weight capacity of your fall protection equipment.
•
Never exceed the maximum free fall distance of your fall protection equipment.
•
Only Safewaze, or entities authorized in writing by Safewaze, may make repairs to Safewaze fall protection equipment.
•
User(s) of Safewaze fall protection equipment must ensure that their health and physical condition allows them to withstand all forces and potential risks
associated with working at heights. ANSI limits the weight capacity of fall protection equipment to a maximum of 310 lbs. Some equipment covered in this
manual may indicate a weight capacity in excess of 310 lbs. Heavier users are at an increased risk of serious injury or death due to increased forces on the
body during a fall and the risk for accelerated onset of suspension trauma. Pregnant women and minors must not use this equipment.
•
Use of a body belt is NOT authorized for fall arrest applications. Use only a Full Body Harness (FBH).
•
Always wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when installing, using, or inspecting this equipment.
•
If conducting training operations with this equipment, ensure that a secondary fall protection system is installed and utilized in a manner that does not expose
the trainee to unintended fall hazards.
•
Immediately seek medical attention in the event a worker suffers a fall arrest incident.
•
Avoid objects, equipment, or surfaces that could harm the user or equipment.
•
User must ensure that there is adequate fall clearance when working at height.
•
Extra precautions must be taken if working in the vicinity of moving machinery, electrical hazards, chemical hazards, sharp edges, explosive or toxic gases,
extreme temperatures, or below overhead equipment or materials that could impact the user and their fall protection equipment.
•
If work is conducted in a high heat environment, ensure that Arc Flash or other suitable fall protection equipment is utilized.
•
Safewaze equipment is designed for, and tested with, Safewaze components. If substitutions or replacements are made to the system, ensure all
components meet the applicable ANSI requirements.
Always verify the latest revision of the Safewaze Manual is being utilized. Visit the Safewaze website, or contact Customer Service, for updated manuals.
