5.0 RESCUE PLAN
Prior to the use of this equipment, employers must create a rescue plan in the event of
a fall and provide the means to implement the plan through training. The rescue plan
must be specific to the project. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue
themselves or be promptly rescued by alternative means.
This plan must be communicated to/understood by all equipment users, authorized
persons, and rescuers. Rescue operations may require specialized equipment beyond
the scope of this manual. Every user must be trained in the inspection, installation,
operation, and proper usage of their Rescue Equipment and Rescue Plan. See ANSI
Z359.4-2013 for specific rescue information. Immediately seek medical attention in the
event a worker suffers a fall arrest incident.
Note: Special rescue measures may be required for a fall over an edge.

6.0 PRODUCT LIMITATIONS
When installing or using this equipment always refer to the following requirements and
limitations:
• Capacity Range: ANSI 130-310 lbs. (59-141 kg) and OSHA up to 420 lbs. (191
kg). *including clothing, tools, equipment, etc.
• Anchorage: Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall have a strength
capable of sustaining static loads applied in the directions permitted by the system
of at least:
1. 5,000 lbs. (2267.9 kg) for non-certified anchorages, or
2. Two times the maximum arresting force for certified anchorages, or
3. 3,100 lbs. for Rescue applications.
When more than one fall arrest system is attached to an anchorage, the
strengths set forth in one of the above shall be multiplied by the number of
systems attached to the anchorage.
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. (2267.9 kg) per user attached. Or, anchorages for attachment should be
designed, installed, and used as part of a complete PFAS which maintains a
safety factor of at least two and is under the supervision of a Qualified Person.
• Locking Speed: The nature of this equipment requires a clear fall path to ensure
the SRL will lock in the event of a fall. Working in obstructed fall paths, cramped
areas, or on moving materials like sand and grain, may not allow the user's body
to gain enough speed buildup to cause the SRL to engage and lock in the event of
a fall.
• Free Fall: The distance a user falls before the fall arrester activates.
