locking snap hooks in any fall-protection system.
CLASSIFICATION OF WORKERS
It is important to be familiar with OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.32
definitions for workers. These definitions are applied
below to workers who work near fall hazards, may
be exposed to fall hazards or have responsibility for

PROPER METHOD OF USE OF EQUIPMENT
OSHA defines multiple types of personal fall protection
systems, but the Ergodyne Travel Restraint Lanyard is
appropriate for use ONLY in travel restraint applications.
The precise definitions of these applications from OSHA
CFR 1910.140(b)* are listed below:
The Ergodyne Travel Restraint
Lanyard is designed for use ONLY in
travel restraint systems and
applications. Travel restraint system
means a combination of an
anchorage, anchorage connector,
lanyard (or other means of
connection) and body support that
an employer uses to eliminate the
possibility of an employee going over
the edge of a walking-working
surface.
WARNING! THE ERGODYNE TRAVEL RESTRAINT
LANYARD MAY BE USED ONLY IN TRAVEL
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS. USE OF THE ERGODYNE
TRAVEL RESTRAINT LANYARD IN ANY OTHER TYPE
OF FALL PROTECTION SYSTEMS COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. A QUALIFIED OR
COMPETENT PERSON MUST MAKE A DETERMINATION
REGARDING THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE
ERGODYNE TRAVEL RESTRAINT LANYARD WITH
THE PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
WARNING! WHEN USING THE ERGODYNE TRAVEL
RESTRAINT LANYARD IN ACTIVE TRAVEL RESTRAINT
APPLICATIONS, IT IS CRITICAL TO ENSURE THE
PERSONAL FALL PROTECTION SYSTEM LIMITS
TRAVEL IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE USER IS
NOT EXPOSED TO A FALL HAZARD. USING THE
INCORRECT LENGTH LANYARD COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. A TRAVEL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM MUST ALLOW A PERSON TO APPROACH THE
EDGE BUT ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF FALLING.
WARNING! NEVER WORK IN A POTENTIAL
FALL SITUATION WITHOUT USING SEPARATE
FALL ARREST PROTECTION.
