Limitations for Use

Positioning lanyards are not intended for fall arrest unless fitted with a shock absorber confirming to ANSI Z359.13-2013 and the overall

length must not exceed 6FT.

Positioning lanyards must be used with a full body harness.

Positioning lanyards are designed for a single user.

A fall arrest backup must be used if the user is not in "Positioning" and there is a risk of a fall.

Do not repair equipment on-site unless explicitly permitted by Frontline.

Snap hooks, carabiners, and other connectors must be selected and applied in a compatible fashion. All risk of disengagement must be

eliminated. All snap hooks and carabiners must be self-closing and must never be connected to each other.

Age, fitness, and health conditions can seriously affect the worker in the event of a fall.

Consult a doctor if there is any reason to doubt a user's ability to set up the equipment or withstand and safely absorb fall arrest forces.

Allowable range of individual worker weight limit (including all equipment) is 130~310 lb. (59~140 kg). Unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Anchorage Requirements

ANSI Z359.2-2017 states that anchorages selected for work positioning systems shall have a strength capable of sustaining static loads

applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least:

(a) 3,000 pounds (13.3kN) for non-certified anchorages; or

(b) Two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages.

When more than one work positioning system is attached to an anchorage, the strengths set forth in (a) or (b) above shall be multiplied

by the number of systems attached to the anchorage.

The foreseeable free fall distance for work positioning anchorages should be limited to less than 2 feet (61cm).

These lanyards must be used with an approved harness or waist belt and will provide a

work positioning system when used with a suitable anchorage.

Basic Rules of Using the Snap Hook

• Before each use, a close visual examination of the snap hook components (body, gate, locking gear) must be carried out in

respect of mechanical, chemical and thermal defects. The examination must be done by a person who is going to use the snap

hook. In the case of any defect, doubt of correct condition of the snap hook do not use the snap hook.

• Using the snap hook, in connection with the fall arrest system, must be compatible with manual instructions of the fall arrest

systems and obligatory standards.

• The snap hooks with manual locking (e.g. screw locking) shall be acceptable only in cases where the user does not have to

attach and remove the snap hook many times a working day.

• During use the snap hook must be protected from any contact with acids, solvents, basics, open fire, hot metal drops and

sharp edges. If you have any doubts about the conditions where the snap hook will be used, ask the producer.

• Before using the fall arrest system, the rescue operation must be introduced to avoid any danger that can happen during the

use of the equipment.

• The shape of the structural anchor point should not let self-acting snap hook disconnection. - See drawings.
