Considers when calculating distance:

Distance of Deceleration

Movement of harness attachment element (D-ring)

Free Fall Distance

Worker Height (Worker's height could affect the free fall distance)

Elevation of Anchorage Connector

Lengths of Connecting Subsystems

LIMITATIONS CONTINUED:

Swing Falls: Swing falls occur when the anchorage point is not directly above the point where a fall occurs. The force of striking

an object in a swing fall may cause serious injury or death. Minimize the risk of a swing fall by working as close to the anchorage

point as possible. Do not permit a swing fall if injury could occur. Swing fall will signicantly increase the clearance required

when a self retracting lifeline or other variable length connecting system is used.

Potential Environmental Hazards: Use of fall protection equipment in areas with environmental hazards may require additional

precautions to prevent injury to the user or damage to the equipment.Hazards may include but are not limited to: chemicals,

corrosive environments, high voltage power lines, gases, moving machinery, and sharp edges.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS: Refer to potential applicable standards. Standards might include OSHA regulations depending on the type

of work, and also might include state regulations where applicable. Consult regulatory agencies for more information on personal fall

arrest system and associated components. This product is designed to comply with OSHA and ANSI Z359.14 standards when used

properly, and in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

Compatibility of Components: SAFE KEEPER Fall Protection

equipment is designed to be used with SAFE KEEPER approved

components. Please contact SAFE KEEPER if you have a question

regarding compatibility. Making substitutions without approval

from SAFE KEEPER Protection may lead to injuries and or death by

compromising the safety and reliability of any component or that

of the complete system. A qualied and competent person can

make a determination on compatibility of equipment from

different manufacturers. If in doubt, please contact SAFE KEEPER Fall

Protection for clarication.

Compatibility of Connectors: Connectors (D-rings, hooks,

carabiners) must be capable of supporting at least 5,000 lbs.

(22kN). Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-

compatible connectors may unintentionally disengage. Self

locking snap hooks and carabiners are required by ANSI and

OSHA. Connectors must be compatible in size, shape, and

strength.

Making Connections: Only use self-locking snap hooks and

carabiners with any SAFE KEEPER Fall Protection equipment. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. If you have any

questions on compatibility, please contact SAFE KEEPER.

WARNING:

Large throat opening snap hooks should not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which will result in a

load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates. Large throat snap hooks are designed for use on xed structural

elements such as rebar or cross members that are not shaped in a way that can capture the gate of the hook.
