3. Connection Compatibility Limitations

All equipment must be coupled to compatible connectors. Prohibits snap hooks from being engaged to certain objects

unless two requirements are met:

1. It must be a locking type snap hook.

2. It must be "designed for" making such a connection.

---"Designed for" means that the manufacturer of the snap hook specifically created the snap hook to be used to

connect to the equipment in question.

The following conditions can result in rollout* when a non-locking snap hook is used. Avoid the following connections:

Direct connection of a snap hook to horizontal lifeline.

Two (or more) snap hooks connected to one D-ring.

Two snap hooks connected to each other.

A snap hook connected back on its integral lanyard.

A snap hook connected to a webbing loop or webbing lanyard.

Improper dimensions of the D-ring, rebar, or other connection point in relation to the snap hook dimensions that

would allow the snap hook keeper to be depressed by a turning motion of the snap hook.

* Rollout: A process by which a snap hook or carabiner unintentionally disengages from another connector or object to

which it is coupled.

4. Fall Clearance/Clear Fall Charts

Clearance Requirements

Image 1 and 2 shows a shock absorbing lanyard anchored overhead with the other end connected to the dorsal D-ring of a

full body harness. Note that the length of your shock-absorbing lanyard in relation to where it is attached is directly related

to the amount of fall clearance that you will need. When using a shock-absorbing lanyard, include the following distances

in your calculations:

Image 1: Using the 6 Ft Shock Absorbing Lanyard will require a total fall clearance of approximately 20.5 ft (6.15m) as

measured from the anchorage point of lanyard to the nearest obstruction below. The total fall clearance combines the sum

of the length of the lanyard (6 ft/1.8m), the maximum elongation of the lanyard (4 ft/1.2m), the maximum harness stretch

(1.5 ft/0.45m), the average distance between the worker's dorsal D-ring (6 ft/1.8m), and the safety factor (3 ft/0.9m).
