4.1 Before Each Use of this equipment, carefully inspect it to assure that it is in

serviceable condition. Check for worn or damaged parts. Ensure that all

hardware is present and secure. Inspect for sharp edges, burrs, cracks, or

corrosion. Ensure self-locking snap hooks or karabiners work properly.

See Figure 7. Inspect the rope or webbing for wear, cuts, burns, frayed

edges, breaks, or other damage. Refer to section 6.0 for fur ther inspection

details. Do not use if inspection reveals an unsafe condition.

4.2 Plan your restraint, working positioning, suspension, or rescue system before starting your work. Consider all factors

that affect your safety at any time during use. The following list gives some important points to consider when planning

your system.

A. Section 2.B. For work positioning systems, the anchorage location must be

selected to limit the free fall to two feet, to reduce swing fall hazards, and to avoid

striking an object during a fall. See Fig. 8.

B. Free Fall: Depending on the lanyard type and the application, the allowable free

fall for 6ft Lanyard, maximum free fall allowed is 6ft and for 12ft Lanyard,

maximum 12ft free fall is allowed. See section 1.2.

C. Fall Clearance: Should a fall occur, there must be sufcient clearance in the fall

area to arrest the fall before striking the ground or other objects.

D. Backup Fall Arrest: Some suspension and work positioning applications of this

equipment may require a backup fall arrest system and independent fall arrest

anchorage. See OSHA guidelines when designing the system.

E. Sharp Edges: Avoid working where the lanyard, subsystem, or other system components will be in contact with,

or abrade against unprotected sharp edges. Do not loop the lanyard around small diameter structural members. If

working with this equipment near sharp edges is unavoidable, protection against cutting must be provided by

using a heavy pad or other means over the exposed sharp edge.

Rescue: Should a fall occur, the user (employer) must have a rescue plan and the means at hand to implement it.

G. After A Fall: Any equipment which has been subjected to the forces of arresting a fall must be removed from

service immediately and destroyed or contact a factory authorized service center for repair.

WARNING: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for associated equipment (full body harness, work seat, etc.) used in

your restraint, work positioning, suspension, or rescue system.

5.0 TRAINING :

It is the responsibility of all users of this equipment to understand these instructions, and to be trained in the correct

installation, use, and maintenance of this equipment. These individuals must be aware of the consequences of improper

installation or use of this equipment. This user manual is not a substitute for a comprehensive training program. Training

must be provided on a periodic basis to ensure prociency of the users.

IMPORTANT:

Training must be conducted without exposing the trainee to a fall hazard. Training should be repeated periodically.

6.0 INSPECTION

6.1 Frequency:

Before each use visually inspect the equipment.

The lanyard must be inspected by a competent person other than the user preferably every six month or at least

annually. See section 6.2 for guidelines. Record the results of each inspection in the inspection log in section 10.0.
